Brighton: Bulldog Spirit

THE landlord of Brighton’s oldest gay pub is selling up after almost 20 years following a licensing dispute which he says has left him stressed and damaged his business.

Dean Holmes has put The Bulldog on the market after nearly 20 years of running the well-known gay venue in St James’s Street.

The freehold on the late-night venue has been made available for £1.1 million.

The planned sale follows a damning review into incidents at the pub last year which saw Sussex Police calling for the venue’s licence to be revoked.

The review detailed 48 incidents at the pub since January 2014 including underage drinking, drug use, fights, and sexual assaults...

Brighton Argus.

LOL!

Oh, the happy, happy times I've had there.

Something makes me suspect this could all be a ruse, a bit like that BBC recipes thing.
