I'm lucky in the respect i have a couple of nice 'locals' pubs nearby,reasonably priced and tidy inside and out with good BBQ facilities and nice gardens/patios and such like.
But in town it is bloody awful,**** poor decor,rarely the bars look clean and don't even talk about the state of the toilets and they charge a fortune.
The Weatherspoons is ok during the day but at night full of slappers and chavs, mullered and acting tough.
I will venture in there possibly late on a Saturday night after the aforementioned numptys have left and gone too the poor excuses for clubs we have,again they are a state.
It is ok for the price you pay and after 11pm it is fairly bearable.
