WITH APOLOGIES TO 3 BRIGG BARS

Having left a Friday night event at the Buttercross it would be standard practice to drop in "for a quiet pint" at the Woolpack, the Black Bull and the Britannia. 
However, with all three hostelries currently  closed - awaiting new tenants - we broke with tradition.
When we walked into town earlier in the evening it looked much too busy for us to contemplate a visit  to JD Wetherspoon's White Horse pub, on Wrawby Street, "for a quiet pint."
However, the retail pub trade's loss was Bargain Booze's gain. We visited Spring's Parade to take advantage of the 3 pints of real ale for a fiver offer and had a night in.
With hindsight, perhaps we should have taken the alternative route home and called at the Lord Nelson, Dying Gladiator and the Exchange Coach House.
Maybe next time....
