Morecambe.
The Royal has been refurbished again, and slightly renamed, presumably to reference the cocktails which now are figuring prominently.
Outside has had some paint, inside has seen the raised area by the window removed (much to my better half’s annoyance- you can’t see the view now), and a fuckton of artificial plants and some exposed cable tray (just like an eighties Pizza Hut) fitted. Thankfully, the original tiling survives.
Lovely staff (2 young chaps), decent music (80s revival FTW), beer was fine, but even though it’s smarter, it doesn’t feel right.
