Undated

Closed Pubs: Bar Sport (successor use of the George & Pelican premises) has also closed. Undated on Closed Pubs — prefer CAMRA's 09/05/2015 for the exact closure date; do not invent a year from Closed Pubs alone.

User research: The Varsity Bar operated from the late 1990s; contributor chose an explicit start date of 1990. Modelled as year precision with circa qualifier (not decade-1990s). End kept at Aug 2009 per Newbury Today (user also recalled ~2011 — noted as conflict, not applied).

probable evidence

Newbury Today (20 Jan 2012): the premises were formerly known as Varsity, which closed in August 2009. Month-level only — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day.

Newbury Today (20 Jan 2012): The George & Pelican opened in September 2009 (manager Lee Miller; later Barracuda Group). Month-level only — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day. Name recalled an 18th-century coaching inn near Pelican Lane, not this building.

Closed Pubs: The George & Pelican closed in 2012 and was subsequently used as Bar Sport. Year-level closure from Closed Pubs — do not invent a month or day from this source alone.

Closed Pubs: after the 2012 closure the premises were subsequently used as Bar Sport (also later closed). Sequential identity at the same 25–27 Bartholomew Street place — not a rename of the trading name while open.

Newbury Today (20 Jan 2012): Barracuda closed the George & Pelican with immediate effect that week (published 20 January 2012). Corroborates Closed Pubs' 2012 closure at month level — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day.

CAMRA: In December 2013, Bar Sport opened in premises that had been closed and were previously the George & Pelican, the Varsity Bar and originally a retail shop. Month-level open — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day.

CAMRA: Bar Sport closed 09/05/2015 and became permanently closed 09/05/2015 (housing), after entering administration in Oct 2014 (trading c/o MB Insolvency).
