Landlords

Mike [Last Name Unknown] was the most recent live-in landlord of the Hoop and Grapes. Known for his firm management style, Mike maintained a strict zero-tolerance for trouble-makers and was quick to bar patrons who disrupted the atmosphere of the establishment. His no-nonsense approach earned him a reputation for keeping order in a lively part of the city. [2] Despite his stern public presence, Mike was also remembered for his eccentric habit of leaving his underwear in plain sight around the pub[ citation needed ], a quirk that became part of the Hoop and Grapes local lore.
