Thumbs down Waxys Ascot hotel closing?

I heard yesterday that Waxys is closing down soon. Has anyone else heard that?

The hotel is being taken over by Hilton Doubletree, not sure if they'll be closing Waxy's or not. Last time I was in there was on a Friday night at around 10pm, we were the only people in the place other than the bar staff.

It's always been empty the times I've been in for the last year or so. No surprises the draught is awful and roaches all over the place.

I never drink draught beer very often for that reason, but saying that I had a great pint in the new Ramarda hotel this week.

It's a struggle to get even an acceptable Guiness at that best of times but I'm dammed if I'm about to shell out 6-10 quid on a poxy bottle of Corona or Sol.

Stables and Loca do the best pints in town IMO, just a pity the latter doesn't to Guiness.

Yep, that's the one. They were pulling stuff out of there on Sunday, and this morning it's pretty much gutted.

(I meant a possible link between the two closures, not an internet link though )
