Pubs that have been turned into something else

[Tequila]

This used to be a town centre pub in Wigan.  I took this photo in 2007.  It is now a Thai restaurant.

Are there any other places from near where you live that have been repurposed, and if so, how are they now?  Can you do a before-and-after?

Repurposing old pubs isn't abig thing here.

Unless you count filling them with poker machines and making most of your revenue from gambling instead of beer. That's actually a big thing here.

It is a big thing here.  A lot of pubs have closed down and they either become houses, flats or restaurants.  My local became a block of flats a couple of years ago.  People live there now.

Pokies really are a big thing there it seems.  I've seen photos of bars with massive crude signs outside.  It really does look an unsightly mess.

Somebody even wrote a song about how much pokies in pubs suck

This is what the cask fonts looked like in my local before they shut.  Glorious.

Can someone move this to a private area of the site?

The house that turned into a gingerbread house.

All the pubs are now Indian Restaurants.

All the closed down shops are now boutique ale houses.

I'm not sure, but I don't think pubs have ever allowed poker machines here in WA. They're only at the casino.

I was in Toowoomba, QLD in 2012 - 13 and I saw a fair few pokies there.
