Message jjsint P beers 7773 º places 1341 º 12:04 Mon 10/16/2017 Not a correction but I thought this might be a good place to ask this. How do admins feel about pop-up pubs? There's a new place in town that I'd normally add to the database, but it's supposedly only open until December. Happy to take your lead.
Message LazyPyro beers 8237 º places 63 º 18:38 Mon 10/16/2017 I'm not an admin but I get the impression they're not to be added. An example is Hop Locker's winter popup (#2) isn't on the site but the permanent #1 and #3 locations are and they're pretty well known.
Message imdownthepub P beers 26220 º places 2123 º 02:46 Tue 10/17/2017 Originally posted by MrTipple The Tea Merchant in Canary Wharf closed at the end of September and has just reopened as "The Merchant" (not making this up). It's no longer a Fuller's Kitchen but now a "Craft Beer House". Minor changes to the interior decoration, chucked out all the gin bottles and added loads of (relatively standard) craft bottles. No change so far to the number of taps (but stay tuned apparently - not sure why they wouldn't have done that tough during the two weeks mini refurb). Anyway, quite a number of guests on on cask and the usual Fuller's affinity to Sierra Nevada on Keg (counted three on the last visit). Mighty Admines, retire Tea Merchant and add The Merchant. Contact details etc remain the same, web address http://www.themerchantcanarywharf.co.uk/. The Tea Merchant managed to survive a shocking 9 months before Fuller's cut their losses... This is now done as requested.

Message imdownthepub P beers 26220 º places 2123 º 02:54 Tue 10/17/2017 Originally posted by MrTipple On further Canary Wharf news, Giant Robot has opened on top of Crossrail Place. Bizarre place with several bars on one floor. One dedicated to craft. Claims to have 36 taps, didn't verify that myself. Bulk standard fayre oh though, all keg. But loads of cans - and exciting stuff like Evil Twin, Lervig, Beerbibliotek etc. https://www.streetfeast.com/visit-us/giant-robot/ This has now been added, hopefully some reviews will follow shortly.

We have had pop up pubs on the site before, particularly when they are held annually, I seem to remember one in Darlington (or somewhere nearby) being added. You would need to be quite clear on when the pub is available to visit as we don't want to get people travelling to somewhere that is no longer there. Also we have GBBF on the site which is arguably a pop up pub for a short time in August.
