The
Abbey was a strange place. By day it was a lounge for the hopeless and
discarded, serving cheap food and drink while showing the day’s news and sport.
By night it was a dance venue that attracted the skanky and discarded. I don’t
know why because it was a nice venue. There was ample booth seating by the
windows for watching the world go by and large tables for groups to get
together. This was followed by a long bar which always had real ale on at a
reasonable price. It never strove to be a destination for beer, but it always
aimed to have a beer on to attract people that were passing by. Opposite the
bar was more seating followed by a raised area for those who wanted a more
intimate area. Then at the back was a small dance floor in front of more
seating; which acted as a VIP area at the weekends. It’s closed now.
