I did try to suggest caution, as the pub we were in had done this a few years back and had thrown out and destroyed a lot of irreplaceable history. I agree that doing that can destroy the former ambience and history of a pub to the point of visiting it less or focussing on another old favourite.

AMP	Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2022 6:34 pm More Warwickshire pubs that I have enjoyed visiting are: The Crown Inn, Southam The Crown Inn, Claverdon The Windmill Inn, Leamington Spa. Ones that I miss: Bear in the Spa, Whitnash. It has since reverted back to the former name,"The Heathcote" and it is still good. The Racehorse, Warwick .It has now been taken over under new management as its street number only,"Number 34". I preferred this Pub as it was. Don't get me wrong it is all tastefully done and you may like the menu however it seems to have gone a bit too high end with its fancy menu dishes as I preferred the old Racehorse menu personally.

It does seem very popular and more well known as the Leopard than it's former name The Revolver. I think The Revolver closed about 2007 and was designed as a Seventies style Steak house back then.
