The decline of the Wig and Gown
Now as some of you on here know, i was a massive fan of the wig and gown pub on Holloway road....think i mentioned it on here once or twice ad how much i liked it...
Anyway, i can no longer sing its praises, it has been taken over during the summer it would seem!! The place is now the pits!!
I had heard it had gone down hill but thought i needed to try it for myself, and the rumours were right, firstly the barmaids which were pretty attractive with low cut tops (not that im sexist) have gone, replaced with pig ugly old hags and some bloke!! Rubbish!!
The multiple football matches they had on have gone...Rubbish!!
I went in at 3pm after the Liverpool game, and there was some kind of Hardcore Dance music on with a gang of drunken idiots throwing shaped trying to impress the 3 heavily made up females in the pub...this descended into drinks being thrown at each other, and people being whipped with tea towels, it was as if they had got the place confused with Malia or something
I finally left when once of the morons was shoved to the floor and his mates started kicking him round the pub
It looked like a lot of the regulars had gone as i saw them in other pubs during the evening...I wont be going in there again...shame!!

Re: The decline of the Wig and Gown
The Gown was Known as "FAT CLUB" in 2007
It got taken over in 2008 by some chain and the managers n staff got even uglier staff in .
By the time I left in 2009 nobody local ever drank in there
Don't tell me it got worse ?

Your fave pub is now shit, the manager you once worshipped you now know is fucking useless, Bendtner has been outed, Song is going backwards and Theo is scoring for fun.... and to top it all you must be going back after your 6 weeks holidays
Is it worth carrying on?

after their spell ended it didnt improve much to start with, but last year they had 3 or 4 women behind the bar that were decent!! standing at the bar was prime position, not now, they have gone and been replaced with rubbish!!
