[Drinking] Pub deal breakers (what can you not tolerate in a boozer?).

[somerset]

I agree about smokers making gardens no go areas, but having to stay inside is a small price to pay for being able to go for a pint without going home STINKING of smoke.

Indeed...

Here's one that winds me up beyond belief:

There's about three of you at the bar all waiting to be served and some
to$$er bar staff who has been doing something utterly pointless like moving the
bottles around a cabinet turns round and says: "right who's next?"

Stop pissing around and use your fU**ing eyes you moron.

I walked up to the bar once in the Sussex Cricketeer at the same time as Kenny Dalglish. I was served first...you can picture the look of disgust on his face

Wind.

Pardon

DJs - I love music, but not in a pub where it's too loud to have a conversation. If you want to dance, go to a club!

Tolerance to drugs

Erm, to the person who gave that the thumbs-down, I can only assume you like pubs that are tolerant of drug use then....?

 

[Nibble]

Pubs that only operate a table service then don't pay attention when you are looking for another drink.

 

[desprateseagull]

Inspired by the worst pubs polls: What if you see it or experience it in a pub makes you leave and swear off that pub?

For me it's rude, inattentive bar staff. I have walked out of the Open House several times for that very reason. You?

Why did you go back??

 

[desprateseagull]

Manky loos.

 

[desprateseagull]

The quality of clientèle standing outside the entrance smoking fags.

Yeah, this. They get soo annoyed, if you have to push past them to get in!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Children

Children its a juicer not a ****ing crèche

You're both damn right. Can't stand having a pint with the little f u c k e r s running about everywhere - especially my own!!

 

[Nibble]

Why did you go back??

I asked myself the same question each time. Mainly because when my mates started having kids it seemed to be the place they went to for birthdays etc for a couple of years plus I had some friends in plays at the theatre above who I wanted to support. Not been there for a couple of years now though.

Last time our family 'went out' was for a carvery at the Park View, Preston Drove.. what its like now, though..

 

[seagurl]

Pubs that sell barista coffee. You have to wait half an hour to get a pint while the person in front of you orders a crappaccino, a frappaccino and a double de-caf caf decaffinated with a mocha twist! Go to bloody Starbucks!!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Pubs with people like you in them.

Ha ha ha ha ha oh my ****ing sides are splitting. What a put down.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Any pub with a rottweiler in the bar.

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

the other price to pay of course being countless closed pubs

Without opening a shit storm pubs want to start looking at the never ending opening times and the price they charge for a pint.

 

[Spicy]

All good points. Overly elaborate pub menus where the chef thinks he's in some 5 * restaurant. What's the matter with a nicely made cottage pie and solid chips?

I totally agree. The pub at the bottom of Cliffe High Street used to be good for a jacket spud or a quick snack for lunch but has gone all "upmarket" and the menu isn't the sort of lunch I want to eat. That nice pub at Handcross went the same way. Just stop going to places like that.

 

[beorhthelm]

Pubs that only operate a table service ...

therefore by any sane defintion, not a pub.
