Brief Pub Description (Used in Acoustic Email)
Well-Established high-street Site. What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success?Pub Overview
Extensive Refurbishment to Town Centre Pub The Lion (formerly The Red Lion) is located on a very busy main road running through Shirley on the outskirts of Birmingham, so it should appeal to both locals and visitors. There are ample adults per license in the surrounding area of the pub – over 1,500 adults within a 20-minute walk – which is a crucial factor in the success of the venue.There is also limited local competition from rival pubs and bars. The Lion will appeal to a broad range of consumers throughout various trade times of the day, including mornings, lunchtimes and evenings. It will also be popular on weekends as it will be a go-to spot for Live Sport and Entertainment. The pub will aim to attract local people in the area, including families. It should interest a wide age range of consumers for both drinking and eating opportunities. Enthusiastic About Hospitality & Sports?
