The White Hart in Crowborough used to be a nice family sort of pub now you're surrounded by 15 year olds getting wasted on cider. WOO.

Didn't a Millwall bloke run that pub some 10 years or so ago?

The Sussex in Haywards Heath was a complete dive. It's now been demolished. Sadly, this was a bad thing as at least when it was open you knew where all the thugs were.

An honourable mention goes to The Junction in Burgess Hill. Asked for a pint of Harveys, got a pint of vinegar which I returned, only to be told that there was nothing wrong it without the bar-goon having smelt or tasted the beer. Apparently it was fine because it was clear. Got a pint of Guinness instead (eventually) as the advertised Youngs didn't seem to exist. The Guinness was absolutely disgusting. If it wasn't for the Tar Babies playing in there that night I was have been out of there within a minute to somewhere which sold a decent pint.

God knows I would never even dream of trying Guinness, Harveys, or anything that requires any sort of care and attention in the Junction. Good jukebox though.

The Burrell near Shoreham Station.

I have never seen more than 3 people in there at any one time.

The Albion at Southwick. Grotty and chav central.

Shoreham seems to have more than it's fair share of poor pubs - Surrey, the one with paintings of Jim Morrsion etc (Duke of Wellington?), Amsterdam, the one with the duck pond out the back

What was the name of that club/pub along the seafront (a259) near Peacehaven?

Very nasty!

Anybody remember The Argyle? Its where the Squid and Starfish now is.

Pub upstairs and 'disco' downstairs both open til 2am

Also opposite, The Churchill Palace Hotel

What a shit hole

the one with paintings of Jim Morrsion etc (Duke of Wellington?)

The Duke does have its moments lately although we were in there on Sat night and it was fantastic - unfortunately its started to attract the young and restless from the council estates on a Friday night which rules that night out for us....

Is that the one on the corner of Church Road and Crowborough Hill?

Come to Portsmouth! The Mighty Fine - the only pub with bars on the inside of the windows to stop the clientele throwing each other out! Real life trans-sexuals and dwarves behind the bar! Drug addicts in the toilets!

Just a pity they've shut Joanna's.....37 steps from top to bottom - after being thrown down them I thought it only right that I should go back and count. Stickiest floor in southern England, but there was no doubt why - the plastic palm tree in the middle of the dance floor that doubled as a urinal....and girls that regularly knocked blokes out before apologising and taking them home, never to be seen again. In fact, it was the stalking ground for Alan Grimson, serial killer!

Gosport is catching up - 2 on 1 sexual assault outside Emma's again at 02:00 this morning. Getting to be a regular occurence.....

in Shoreham . . . . Crown and Anchor, Schooner, Burrell Arms, are sketchy, Swiss Cottage is pants, as is the Ferry and the Amsterdam

the best thing about Shoreham is theres lots of pubs so you have plenty of choice !

The Stanmer (aka the 'stabber') up at Fiveways is pretty dire. It's the nearest pub to me but I never use it.

Re: Re: Worst pub

I almost got in a punch up with someone going to the Clifton while half a mile from it.

Didn't Cardiff cause a couple of grands worth of improvements there a few years back ?

They did indeed. Ever since it's been decorated like a giant St Georges cross. The Clifton is bad, but just walk about 3/4 of a mile along the road to the Downview. If you unarmed, don't go in!

Yeah, that's bad.

I used to drink in it in my yoof and hadn't been back for years.

I went back last summer and it was the sort of boozer that gets featured in gritty cop dramas - never again.

The Ancient Mariner in Hove, used to be called the Rutland Arms. in the old days the pub was really nice and my dad used to play for the pool team there, Now the new owners took it over they've made it into a shit hole, local chavs take it over and there is no bloody pool table there anymore, just 4 bloody sofas where the pool table was.
And it aint so friendly anymore one wrong word and you could get your head kicked in.

What are you on about. The pub has improved no end since it was done up. Yes it did have a pool table but the pub itself was a dump. The landlord et al where nice people but did not have a clue about attracting punters. The AM is now a respectable family pub and the same locals that used to drink in there still do.
