Merefields was a quiet wine bar, which we didn't visit until it transformed into a typical noisy city centre pub just in time for the World Cup in 1998 - you could say it signalled the end of the yuppie era. When it changed its name to Scribes, it didn't really change inside - in away it was a rebrand that just took three years to complete. Scribes shocked Canterbury by opening a lap-dancing club on the first floor in 2006, which was members only. This clearly wasn't enough to keep the place going, and it closed in 2008.
