Lonan3 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Bay View Hotel Port St Mary is to lose another popular watering hole. Time will be called for the final time at the Bay View Hotel on March 31. Last year the village lost another pub when The Station became a restaurant. The only pub to be left in the village will be The Albert — in recent years there were six pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Although never all open in the same era? Actually I think they probably were. Although I used to get so pissed in The Carrick it's difficult to remember correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buggane Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The Perwick Bay HotelThe Point Hotel The Albert The Bay View Hotel The Carrick Hotel The Porthole Bar at the Bay Queen Hotel The Station Hotel Aye, its sad what is happening to PSM, in addition to the above we've lost both banks, the bakers and the butchers too in recent years, along with the tennis courts, boating pool, swimming pool (Perwick), our town hall, one of our lighthouses (although can hard blame 'town planners' for that one !) and been on the verge of losing the Post Office too, and in turn we pay the highest rates on the Island - for what exactly ? Thank god for the Albert ! I won't miss the Bay much as I never liked the place much, but it leaves us with just two pubs (if you include the Shore) when as said above we used to have nine just over ten years ago My worst one was the loss of the Station PSM, had a great popular public bar, some 'know it alls' come in, close the public bar and put a resturaunt in it to 'teach the locals about good food' (apparent quote), when the other half of the pub was already a restaurant, which is now empty, although recently they've put the pool table and darts board which used to be in the bar in the empty side of the pub. Madness from a business perspective as they threw away their bread and butter money, and in the process as ever when a pub closes broke up part of the community, thanks , mind you there never appears to be anyone in there so it'll probably turn back into a pub one day ..... or, of course more likely 'luxury appartments' or a private house, one things for sure its unlikely it'll ever return to the nice wee community bar it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thank god for the Albert ! You say that but tbh in my day they didn't serve the best pint by a long way. Times change though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they do, the beer in there is great these days, great selection, Bushys beers on tap and the best toasties (proper ones in volcano hot brown plastic like the old days ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 wasn't the Balqueen a temperance place ?, maybe I'm going back too far it's a pity about places like the station, same as the Creg ny Baa, used to be more of a social club where everyone said hello when you went in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebrof Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The Perwick Bay Hotel The Point Hotel The Albert The Bay View Hotel The Carrick Hotel The Porthole Bar at the Bay Queen Hotel The Station Hotel Isn't that seven? My worst one was the loss of the Station PSM, had a great popular public bar, some 'know it alls' come in, close the public bar and put a resturaunt in it to 'teach the locals about good food' (apparent quote), It is one of the best restaurants on the island though. And if there were a demand for all these pubs, they'd still be open. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there were a demand for all these pubs, they'd still be open. S No it isn't, we went there once, my girlfriends meal came with added bonus of a massive hair in it, we received no apology, no reduction, I had to eat my meal alone while my girlfriend waited for hers to come, which arrived after I'd finished mine. The food (less the hair) was nice enough granted, but I considered it to be overpriced for what it was and no better than I can get in the Bay Port Erin for less money in a nicer setting with friendlier staff. There was demand for the pub, it was busy most of the time and packed a lot of the time. It may not have been as profitable for the brewery as leasing the property out, but that doesn't mean it wasn't in demand just means it wasn't the most profitable use for the building for the owners.
