Scrooges Closed !!!! 


So on social media the lovely owners posted the following

22.5.2020

The rumours are true...

It is with a VERY heavy heart 💔 that we have to announce, that the award winning Scrooges Bar will not open its friendly doors again 😔.

The council have been wanting Scrooges Bar, Reform Health Club and several other land & properties we own in the town centre for redevelopment for some time now.... and a deal has finally been done..


It is always hard to walk away from a hugely successful business, but even harder to walk away from a way of life and probably losing contact with some of THE SOUNDEST CUSTOMERS any bar could ask for ❤. Scrooges will miss you all loads. Xxx

The worst thing for us is that due to Covid, we don’t get to have one last party. You don’t get to have one last mental sesh with all your mates. There will be no photographs on socials of an amazing sending off party... and that is always gonna be sad for us 


BUT LETS REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES 🤩😬.... because there were LOADS of them. Let’s remember all the AMAZING parties we had and hopefully if we can find a new building.... THEN LETS OPEN UP AGAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE??? Who is up for Scrooges 2? We are game if you are??? (Anyone know of a good building get in touch)

Thanks to all our absolutely amazingly loyal customers and staff who came to see us week after week. We will sincerely miss you all xx

Love always,

Owen & Maria Pouncy xxx

 Part of my youth has gone, well my 20's and 30's If I am being honest ...

Who could forget the stairs of delight that you could walk down after many, many wines, I had many a hangover from drinking this and then some ! 


Random facts about your now closed Wine Bar... It used to be a Dairy back in the day ( 1930’s )

I lost many a hour drinking in this delightful oddity with my ‘Tache’ clique ! The stairs ! The strawberry wine !!! Evil , evil stuff ! It’s the end of an era for quite a few of us still old enough to remember ,  Brenda was whom I remember as the ‘unique’ landlady when I frequented  this brilliant bar...



For your giggles your author back in the day - mid twenties... 
When this COVID has had its day and we can all return to pubs and clubs, support your locals, the bands, the people that run them... before they go forever.

Let us explore the history of Blackpool's Palatine Buildings! A prime corner site on Blackpool’s Central Promenade is undergoing a complete reconstruction to create the resort’s first five star hotel and a museum detailing Blackpool’s rich history.   1866 - Palatine Buildings, Palatine Hotel, and The Palatine Buildings were constructed onthe Promenade this year, just to the south of the Royal Hotel, and in 1879, the 120-bed Palatine Hotel wasbuilt next door, on the corner with Bank Hey Street. Queens Terrace – a row of houses built in 1848 – was demolished to make way. The Palatine had its own ballroom, lounge bar, new lounge, and dining saloon. For a short time, it was known as the Palatine Family and Commercial Hotel, but by 1883, had reverted to its shorter name. Queen’s Terrace and the Royal Hotel stables block had stood on the site previously.                   ...

The hospital housed the Fylde Coast's Dermatology Services and had a Renal Dialysis Unit, a Rehabilitation Ward, Dermatology Ward and a Clinical Skills Laboratory on site. 1891 Blackpool Isolation Hospital was opened on Devonshire Road on the 7 th of July. This original sanatorium, behind the cemetery, was demolished in 1906 after being kept briefly for smallpox isolation. The new hospital was formally opened on the 26 th of March on the opposite corner of Devonshire Road and Talbot Road. Still called Blackpool Sanatorium, it soon became known as Devonshire Road Infectious Diseases Hospital until 1954; locals knew it as “The Fever Hospital”. The hospital was finally demolished in 2007. As some of you know I run the popular group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/blackpoolspast/ wh...
