| In the mid-nineties, the Hobgoblin, Aylesbury opened it's doors for business. In the same era, Michael Jackson released the album HIStory. Now although both subjects have a lot of this to offer, i feel that the word that has been more frequently used in association with both parties is 'Bad'. However, with regards to changing faces, the Hobgoblin has seen a lot more. In days gone by, patrons gathered here for a late drink, witty conversation and hassle free beverage consumption, where the theme tune to Cheers would have accompanied such festivities with a perfect sense of togetherness, such as strawberries and cream, Morecambe and Wise, 118-118. Gentlemen, Ladies, Creatures of the Night, i take you back to these times. Yes, the Hobgoblin is back on it's feet, like the recovering drunks who fell, were turned away, with the last power hungry 'man-at-the-top'. With this charge in control, finding a late night drink and good inn-keeping was very much like trying to find Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. But now, thanks to a recent regime change, the WMDs that we crave (Wanting More Drinks) are very welcomely obliged and served. The mixture of characters are still on show, the flirting of personalities is still evident. But everybody in here is in here for the same reason. A good time, a good drink, a good night and thank-you. The doors are open, the atmosphere is rife, the service is good, the beer tastes like...like beer. Combine this with the feel good factor of yesteryear and the conveniently adjacent pumpkin-like taxis floating people, who've had a ball, from this once disenchanted Neverland home to rest, and the Hobgoblin is back to how it is liked. Like a pub. Reminiscent of a distant, ghostly howling on the moors, the resident music-maker can sometimes be heard chorusing it's way through 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and like the opinion of many of the Hobgoblin's frequent-flyers, this is a good thing, not 'Bad'.

| Well what can I say? The place should be renamed “The Creatures of the Night”, if you visit the place on a Friday and Saturday. However, you get a good friendly crowd in there most nights, which frequent the place when a nearby club shuts. The standard of the beer has dropped recently, and the landlord tends to shut the place before the times advertised, when things don’t go his way. Do not expect to build up a rapport with the staff, because they tend to be sacked “at the drop of a hat”. Most of the bouncers are fine; except for one who struts about if he owns the place. If you want an “experience” you must visit this place. pubwatch - 25 Jan 2006 17:04 |
