Isaac Wilson's for sale £650k

[JustTheGent]

Not bad when you think some places will try and charge that for a 2 bed flat.

Obviously you'd negotiate the price down and make sure all is good with the building. But surely it could be a good business with the right vision.

Middlesbrough 'institution' pub price tag slashed by £100,000

The Isaac Wilson pub, which is ran by Tees Inns, is on the property market and still open as normal

A few blokes drinking cheap beer doesnt make a good business.

Can he play right back ?

Can he play right back ?

He’d be no good upfront hitting the bar most the time

Good pub one of the few decent ones left in Boro which is grim at best.

 

[Merlin]

Is that all, i might buy that - probably got about that much down the back of the settee

Like Jelle Vossen?

A lot of work needed on that building, in terms of structure.

It's also in a dreadful location as a town centre pub., when you think about it.

Spent many years in the old Isaacs when it was a Wetherspoons, before I knew better.

Was thinking, there's plenty of better alternative buildings / locations standing empty in the town centre.

 

[InglebyUTB]

Food is spot on in there and there's a decent choice of draught at a good price.

Would be a shame if it was closed or changed too much from what it currently is.

Best pub in town for traditional ales.

let's be honest there's not much competition anymore, I only venture into Middlesbrough on match days now every time I go it feels like there is less option

 

[Norfolkred1]

Best pub in town for traditional ales.

If you like your stout, try the Belhaven Black in the Isaacs, rarely seen south of the border.

 

[Humpty]

Best pub in town for traditional ales.

Surely you're finding better ales down Baker Street?

If I was still running the council I'd pay minimum £1miliion.

Awful stuff had this misfortune of trying it in Scotland

Alright Andy, hows the mansion in North Yorkshire this morning ?

Got any "do you remember rola cola" posts ready to go today, or are you focusing on trying to distill complex political issues into a yes or no Twitter poll?

Who is going to buy it, and what would they do with it? I don't think I would take it if it was given to me for free.

It's all set up to be a pub, but the days of pubs seem numbered, never mind pubs that large and where they're located. If Wetherspoons can't make it work there, then it will be hard for anyone else. Hard for anyone to sell booze as cheap as Wetherspoons because of their purchasing power, so if it were to be a pub then it would need to charge normal prices and it would not attract those crowds, to that location. No parking heavily restricts it's market too.

Not sure if it could be anything else, other than a shop, but there are far better available locations for shops, already set up to be shops, but large shops in degrading tows struggle massively. Maybe flats for people who don't have cars, but would probably cost another £1m to turn it into flats and be a construction nightmare. Wouldn't want to live on the ground floor, but a 1st floor flat could be decent, but in a grim area.

Even a 1st floor flat would be directly level with the A66 and so I imagine quite. a bit of noise.

As you say, it'd difficult to work out what it could be, which is a shame as it's a great building.
