Only if it was badly kept! Not to many "pavement pizzas" outside a Bents pub,but lots near pubs that had the new-fangled lager!

My dad told me that yes- it is closing down. frown in the New Year.

My dad went the Sandbank and the (old) Five Bars on Christmas Eve- reports that both pubs were empty aka 'dead'.

Such a shame, really is. frown

My dad and mum drank in the Bee, Float and Brasseys. Finishing in the Mona Castle ( Katon's) with a K I think. After Brasseys was pulled down around about 1989.

I think it was called Catons after an early owner, with a C I think but could be wrong. smile

No idea of how it should be spelt, tbh. In writing, i would say Keightons??

Still, in my opinion- an absolute Dive.Would not go there for a night out.

Back in the day- in Seacombe Town- me n Plusone would do La Banque, Five Bars, P.A and then the Leasowe. Plus would win all of the Karaoke Comps and we spend his 'earnings' in Shots at The Labour Club that was opposite the P.A. Happy days smile

Please do NOT respond to this contributor. He is either a wind-up merchant or off his rocker.

Just check out his first five posts.

Think this was taken in 1964/5 we as children used to go on charrabang trips from here...this was before the maisonettes in Albion street! Before the old railway line was filled in and when Seacombe Ferry had a huge Christmas tree and New Year celebrations! We used to have our bonfire on the ground opposite the five bars just behind the Leasowe Castle ( I believe there used to be a second hand /auctioneers type shop there ).. Strange how things come full circle my dear friend ended up being the landlady in 1997/8!
