happyhippy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I remember you behind the bar there....used to go in with 'the bird' of the time.....it was a great pub back then and superb pint of Smiths too I started going in there about 15 years ago, usually to meet a drinking mate of mine from Crookes, dear old Scottish Rod, who was from Inverness. Poor bugger's dead now. I went in quite a lot in its first incarnation as a Sam Smith's pub as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gularscute Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It sounds good, I was worried it'd be turned into a horrendous trendy, gimmicky clip joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith's, Magnet, Courage Directors, and another from the S&N repertoire as I recall from the first time I went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not wanted Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It is not often you go back to a pub that you love that has been done up and think it's better. They have done a really good job on the place. Pity about the lack of smoking area which is fair enough as it did look like stalag19 before hand. Beer still cheap and quality. Toilets clean and fresh. Pity about the lack of proper coal in the fires ( bloody clean air act) and pity about the member of barstaff who was sat at bar when she wasn't on duty getting ****** and thought she could take the **** out of me because of the way I look and also take the residue of my mates pint before she had finished with it. All in all I'm surprised, it has all the bits of pubs I like. No TV, no jukebox, FIRE (yay), decent toilets, cracking beer as always. Good job all round and good to get one of the few decent pubs in the city centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
