[Drinking] What makes a GOOD pub..?
- Thread starter desprateseagull
- Start date
So this mid fifties bloke walks into his local and goes to the bar.
There's a stunning, similar age woman sat at the bar. Crossing her legs suggestively and twiddling her almost empty wine glass. She smiles at him as he sits down.
"Er, could I get you another drink?" Says the bloke.
"Of course darling..." She purrs in an American drawl.
The drinks arrive and the bloke says "So, um... What's your name then love? (*this is a Sheffield pub because it works better*)"
"Well baby, my name's Carmen Dollar." She replies. "I was named very well because I love cars, men and money... How about you?"
And the bloke says "Great! Nice to meet you sweet'art, I'm Charlie Beercunt!".

its all about balance
not too loud that you have to shout but a burble of talking and laughing over 70's-80's music - (keep the youngsters out)
Not too bright but not too dark, I want to see my date but still want to look mysterious and good looking in the shadows
Good selection of drinks but not a specialist in anything, Gin bars or 80 kinds of tequila can do one
Good smell, of fire wood and beer rather than bleach and vomit
Comfy chairs preferably leather
No kids or food - unless it is clearly advertised. There is always a need for kids and food but when I want a nice drink I dont want to walk in - sigh and walk trudge out again looking for a different vibe.
However the best pub is the surprise pub, the one you stumbled across in a back street, on a hike, a snatched drink, a treat. One that you will never be able to replicate but will remember for ages.

I think the best pub is the one that my wife doesn't know that I'm in.
Those couple of hours spent ignoring emails, texts, WhatsApp etc and just having two pints of good beer while watching sport and/or talking shit with other blokes.
Best part of a day working from home (every day). But if I get grassed up then I'm up slack alley for such inoffensive behaviour.

How long do you have to save up on Universal Credit to get a shag these days Das?
Five letters HT. I thought better from you.
Hotty? Singular. The lady only has eyes for me?

One beer an hour ?
Do you know how much it costs to put sports on in pubs ? Landlords DESPISE people like you. I bet they silently wave their fists at your back as you leave.

Now that is a PROPER PUB ! Is there one like this left anywhere ?
All of this with the addition of guess the bonus ball prize fund behind the bar which is typically populated by someone called Ted

As an Australian I need a water view (during the day) and a bit of air through the place when its hot.
Cold beer with some of it craft.
Plenty of room - don't mind it being mobbed (at times) as long as there are plenty of staff.
Decent quality pool tables and TVs for sport. Happy for there to be a TAB (betting shop) on the premises as long as it's not in your face.
Beer garden with shade.
When in England I like certain different things - especially the sense of history. Love the Kirkstone Pass Inn at Grasmere and the Cittie of Yorke in London, but there are plenty of other great pubs. Some crap ones too - especially around Mile End where I was for a while in the 90s, but one of the best nights I ever had was in a pub that was just a bloke's garage and back yard in London. Brilliant. Totally illegal and I bet there's nothing like that anymore.

A different kind of pasty
Ah, I love pub toilets graffiti. My favourite ever I spotted many years ago in The Sussex, East Street Brighton. There were two condom machines in the gents, and one of them had a sticker on it stating "This machine is alarmed". Underneath someone had written "the other one is scared shitless"
