Anyone know the former social club one door down from the Hootananny on Effra Road? You know the one: detached, double fronted, dilapidated, possibly falling down. Well it's recently been acquired by Antic, who own a few other pubs in the area, most notably the Dogstar.
Their plan is apparently to turn it into a family-friendly pub with a garden. Which means it could end up a bit like the Hootannany's better-behaved younger brother. Not sure what to make of it all really, but I suppose another boozer within a few hundred yards of my front door is probably welcome news.
