Oh, The Large One, well I suppose you did alert us. The Great Eastern is a delight, with lovely bar staff and provides a suitably dingy experience on a Friday night, with those brilliant DJs playing dirty soul and blues.
I drank in some absolute dives in my youth, some mentioned already, some long gone. The Branch and The Bat and Ball were on one of our regular pub crawl routes. I also drank irregularly in The Bevendean, The Gardners in Portslade and The Stanley before the Real Ale came in when it was run by Rick and Mandy. I would happily drink in any of these again rather than set foot in Yates's in West St. So can I have that please?

No, you are not. I've been there once, and it will remain as such.

If you're going to allow nominations for the Basketmakers and Great Eastern but discount The Open House then this poll means nothing
Seconded
Christ, is The Clyde still open?

Did the King and Queen get seconded?
Dreadful place. I had a burger in there whilst watching the Test Match last summer. Worst burger I've ever had, the place stank, the staff were rude and the alcohol selection really poor. I plumped for a Guiness and spent the next hour regretting not having a water.

Martha Gunn has to be in the running surely?

The Eddy, certain regulars are a nightmare.
The Park View, simply for the bloke that runs it.
The Evening Star, bar staff serving their mates before the people that have been waiting at the bar.

I quite like the William IV.
Simply for the incident when they tried to throw about 20 of us out, post Komedia, the Laird insisted on seeing the licensee to find out what we had done wrong.
He was told she was asleep, to which the answer was do not care, get her down here. 5 minutes later a half asleep landlady in her pyjama's appears to get a verbal volley for about 20 minutes from the Laird.
Yes and I'll second Martha Gunn. I also nominate The Stamner Park Tavern because its full of idiots.
The fact that you're not all BANNED* after this tells you all you need to know about the place. I used it as an emergency bolt hole if being pursued by a munter.*of course you could all be banned.
On a different note has anyone ever had a pint in the boozer opposite the Magistrates' Court? I always imagined it to be a ghastly spit and lino palace serving Carlsberg to teenage car thieves and Jameson's to bent coppers. Never been in though.

I'll second Yates Wine Lodge (WTF is a wine lodge anyway?)
Can I chuck 'Slug and Lettuce' George Street and 'Pitcher & Piano' into the mix.
Nope sorry, that does not happen. Drink in there regularly and never seen that. And I'm not their mate.

Exactly, drink in their regularly and it does not happen. So it does happen, just not to you.
Poor customer service and often a poor attitude from the staff.

I'll allow the Open House.
What I'm saying is I think people are judging it from three years ago.
