Best Pubs ever

[ozzmeister]

As a flip side to the worst pubs ever topic how about one for the best pubs ever.

Mine are:

Wooden Bridge in Guildford
The George in Crossharbour (London)

Both because they are proper pubs, have proper people in (i.e no pretentious ****s), show the football, good selection of larger and decent price.

[Saint in Paradise]

Pig and Whistle in Tutanekai Street :cool:

Walk up Aldershot Road to the Cricketers.... that's a good pub!

Are you me?

Went to Itchen, used to live in Locksheath.... Bit weird!

I doubt he means that one as he is a Hedge Ender (although I guess Hamble isn't that far), but yeah, the Jolly Sailor is a good pub, bit sheet for parking but it's ok.

Saw Craig Charles off of Red Dwarf in there before. FACT.

[ozzmeister]

LOL No last time I checked I wasnt you, may have been separated at birth by the sounds of it. Scary thing is that I may know you, or least know someone that knows you lol.
My main claim to fame from the area was seeing WGS at Kams Palace. However I dont want to stray off topic to much.

I'm fond of The Rising Sun at Warsash.

Tis a good little pub and on a nice sunny day it is great to sit out on the benchs with a pint outside infront of the marina!

I do also like hopping over to Hamble on a rib and having a few drinks over there, there are a lot of little pubs all close to each other!

[hamster]

If ever in Deal, Kent, seek out the Deal Hoy. A lovely pub.

[Dimond Geezer]

The Frog & Frigate - god bless all those that sailed in her :(

[Shroppie]

If you're ever in my home county if Shropshire, go to Bishops Castle. Small town with two breweries (Three Tuns and Six Bells, both excellent but 6 Bells best) and six of the best real ale pubs you'll ever find within a couple if hundred yards in the High Street.

Beer Festival every July but lots of other festivals throughout the year that are just excuses to drink beer. (if you need an excuse).

[SNSUN]

The Flags, Slough

:-\"

I was a semi-regular there a few years ago. Either I was always unlucky enough to get their B-team, or that was how it ws always done.

[Ampersound]

Southwestern
Gordon arms

Both great pubs and was good playing for their football teams in the past.

[kernowsaint]

Driftwood Spars. St Agnes
Square and Compass. Worth Matravers
Turks Head. St Agnes, Isles of Scilly

The top pubs in my world!

[Saint-scooby]

The Frog & Frigate - god bless all those that sailed in her :(

That was a proper pub, sawdust on the floor good beer, and dancing on the tables Fridays and Saturdays.

Saying that I did have a laugh in the Juniper Berry on Sunday eve's

[BadgerBadger]

Logan Rock Inn, Treen, Cornwall - best: steak and chips; pint of Tribute; location; vibe; welcome in the world

[BadgerBadger]

the aqua bar in soton.

The Town Wall Tavern - Coventry
The Eclipse - Winchester
The Exchange - Hereford

A legendary place, enjoyed by my late father's generation long before I was even thought of.

Did I read that it was no longer there ?

[Turkish]

The Rock. Linda the barmaid is a right dirty cow too.

Wooden Bridge is one of the best pubs I have been to, and back in 1996-98 I was there very often.

In Southampton I used to love the Dorchester (Dorc)

[Thedelldays]

it used to be horifficially rough but now it has changed and is quite good


the avondale here in plymouth

the same old boy owned for over 50 years until he died about 7 years ago...it briefly turned into a topless pub with some disgusting fat women working there. it has now shut down

The saints pub is totally different these days, it's gone through some shocking owners in the past but the guys running it now have totally changed it. Hats of to them IMO.

For some reason the last paragraph I thought you were still talking about the saints pub!

[The Majestic Channon]

The white hart covent garden/ Holborn , a hidden gem of a pub

It was called the Bosuns Locker for a good few years, it has now reverted back to The Juniper Berry. Don't upset the landlord though he's from a family of famous bouncers/boxers that worked the doors at Raffles, amongst other places, in the 80's. It has to be said he's actually a top bloke though.

There was a topless pub in Plymouth featured on 'Britain's Hardest Pubs' a few years ago, and the women were fairly disgusting. Might well be the one you're thinking of!

[scotty]

I always loved the Golden Eagle, despite it being in eastleigh. The food was terrific long before the advent of these gruesome gastropubs, they were one of the westmacott inns together with the Hunters in swanmore and the george and falcon in west meon. Think there was one in four marks too.

For sheer interest value, I like the coach and horses in soho. All that Jeffrey Bernard stuff on the walls and the private eye/peter cook aura..... Plus where else in london can you get a pub sandwich for a quid?!

[keithd]

The Harp near Covent Garden. Im not an ale man but have had a few ales in there and liked them all. Oft meet in there when up in the smoke, does a smashing panini too!

And the Bear and Staff Leicester Square.

Oh, and the Griffin Chancery Lane for post match entertainment

[mightysaints]

Pub Mont Fort and the Farinet, both in Verbier. Both wild nights out.
The Axe in London...need i say more

[This Charming Man]

The Rock. Linda the barmaid is a right dirty cow too.

You ever met John and Trev in there? Sound geezers.

[70's Mike]

Different pubs for different times
Saturday Lunchtime Haymarket, Park Inn or Scullards
Friday Night Shield and Dagger
Saturday Night Spa or up stairs in Queens
During week Castle at Midanbury

A small but great pub, got pretty ****ed on the fantastic tribute ale in there recently.
I also quite like the porcupine in leicester square.
