Tue, 22 Jul 2025 Brewdog to close 10 pubs across UK, some 'within days'

Brewdog said the "difficult decision" had been taken as a result of "ongoing industry challenges".

* Brewdog will close 10 bars across the UK, including its flagship pub in Aberdeen.
* The pubs set to shut down are located in Aberdeen, Dundee, Leeds, Brighton, Oxford, Sheffield, York, and three in London.
* A spokesperson for Brewdog said the decision was made due to "ongoing industry challenges" such as rising costs, increased regulation, and economic pressures.
* Unite trade union criticized the move, calling it "morally repugnant" and potentially unlawful, with some closures expected within days.
* Brewdog will carry out a 14-day consultation process for staff at risk of redundancy, but the number of employees affected has not been disclosed.
* The company's focus is on redeployment rather than redundancies.
