Really?

When you say "own" it, do you mean he works behind the bar as well?

No they have a manager that run it, think at the moment it's a couple who also live upstairs.

But he was there yesturday for a meeting with the other owners. they've own it since it became 'The New Bush' as they were the ones that turned it back into a pub and it must have opened in June 2006 as it was closed on opening night, or the 2nd night it was open, due to trouble that occured after an England World Cup match.

There's a few people banned from it aswell mostly due to violence and drugs.

Thanks for having a picture of mine and for posting it.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Best pub on the Upper East Side and serves London Pride, Sam Smiths and Dogfish Head IPA.......

definite improvement on the Palmeria which is a real dump compared to what it was about 10 years ago

Alan, Lucerne Road brings back some memories. My nan (rest her soul) used to live just around the corner in Chester Terrace. I used to play footie in the park, I think its called Blakers park?

It is Blaker's Park. Good play area except for ball games...

The Cleveland used to be the 'local' pub with the Preston Park Tavern for the geezers. Now that the PPT has poncified itself, all the boys have trundled along to the Cleveland.

Yeah I know that it was closed down, pretty much as soon as it was relaunched a few years back.

The couple who run the pub are really nice. Unfortunately though due to it's location, there will ALWAYS be people that want it shut for good.

Probably my closest one, after The Lodge shut down (shithole). Occasionally pop in 'the sports' and play darts in there. It's not too bad.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Horrid.

do they still sell pills there?

Pretty much most of the meetings involve problems that have occured because someones caused trouble in there.

It's got much better since the Welsh manager was asked to leave as i don't really know anyone who liked him. I've never met the couple but my dad and his mates seem to like them and it does help when most of the youngsters that cause all the trouble are banned.

Annoyingly none of the owners, and at that fact, i don't get free drinks and it's out of the way for me so i don't ever go in there. Just before it was opened to help fix it up.

This used to be mine for about 25 years, but it really doesn't do it for me anymore

So we tend to use

a lot more now,

or indeed

Oh, and they are: The 5 Bells in Smock Alley, The Rising Sun in Nutbourne and the Queens Head in West Chiltington.

 

[Jahooli]

Closest is probably this one

But it's shithouse.

Recently been taken over by the chaps who run the Caxton.
Sign outside says it's closed while the kitchen's refurbished.
Also scaffolding up so outside so may get a revamp.
I used to drink there all the time when it had a Sunday football team, pub quiz etc. then two blokes took it over and brought in fishtanks and got rid of the locals and tried to trendify it and it gradually got worse, then 2 or 3 years back it went completely shithouse.
Certainly cleaner now and hope that James and Michael do well there, no reason for it not to be the great boozer it once was.

 

[Safe.]

My local is the County Oak and it's a shit hole.

A little chav-tastic but the best in the village I live in. Can't bloody escape Greene King pubs round here though, which is a bit of a bore.

 

[DerbyGull]

it might look a dive, but it simply is the best pub in Derby.

it has between 10-20 different microbrewery real ales on daily, brewing 4-5 different brews themselves
