This whole article looks like it was texted to the server… It’s a shame that our subconcious has to fill in the blanks where adjectives are missing.
So the Brown hound pub story , my self and my business partner both own brown hounds ( dogs)
We decided on the name because of this , we had no idea that there was a establishement on argyle street a few years ago with the same name if we had known we might not have decided on our name , we found out well
after the fact ,any how again just to confirm our establishment is not Connected or has any offiliation with the premises that was on argyle street or will it be the same theme either !
We will be opening around mid February and we very much hope to see you all there !!!
Cheers
