Craft Brewer BrewDog has confirmed that its Bristol venues would not be affected by plans to close pubs due to soaring energy costs. The firm's boss announced last week that it would be closing six of its pubs mainly in the Scotland and London areas as he said it would “be simply impossible to get these bars even close to financial viability” in the foreseeable future.
BrewDog will shut the Hop and Anchor in Aberdeen, Smithfield Market Arms in London, Hop Hub in Motherwell and its BrewDog bars in Dalston, east London; Old Street, east London; and Peterhead. In a LinkedIn post, the boss said the closures come as the hospitality sector faces “sheer ‘rabbit in the headlights’ paralysis of this zombie government” as rocketing costs threaten the future of many pubs, restaurants and bars.
