Floyd Dodoo wants to get behind the bar at the Queens Hotel
A Manchester pub which was shut down earlier this year after a huge brawl 'involving a machete and a gun' has faced another blow in its bid to reopen. Floyd Dodoo, who grew up on the Monsall estate where the Queens Hotel is located, has been told he cannot take over the pub if it get its licence back.
The Vine pub on Glendower Drive also had its licence temporarily suspended following the incident on March 12 - which was thought to be connected to organised crime groups, according to GMP - but has since been reopened.Speaking at a town hall hearing on Friday , Mr Dodoo questioned why other pubs in the area who serve the same customers have not suffered a similar fate as the Queens Hotel.
Mr Dodoo told the licensing sub-committee that he grew up in Monsall, knows 'virtually everyone there' and if he ends up running the pub which his family frequents, he would move into his mother's home which is '10 seconds' away. He told the panel he has 25 years of experience in the night-time economy.
