676 Queens Royal Hotel Marine Promenade Wallasey

Queen's Royal now closed and up for sale.

A bit more on the story from yesterday's Echo Wed 27th March

Sad to see it close.

It was put on the market a couple of years ago in trade papers, with no 'For Sale' boards up.
This was viewed by some as a bit of a 'fishing trip' to see how it sat on the property market.
I think the advertised price (then) was about £2M.

Advert in Wirral Globe (HMS Northumberland visit page) says the bar will be opening.

Queens Royal going to be knocked down and replaced with this piece of junk.

That is an eyesore. Such a shame because it is a lovely pub and have enjoyed a few pints in there over the years.

Glad to see this.
'Plans to build a five-storey hotel on the site of a New Brighton landmark have been refused.'

I liked the Queens, had a few meals and a drink in there, also remember it as a Berni Inn, Friday night with the good lady, we thought we were the kids then.

Looks like the Queens Royal has been saved from demolition and is in advanced stages of refurbishment. From what I can tell, it appears to have been taken over by an established restaurant/hotel chain.
