tomski Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 What's the one at the bottom of COR which has always got the shutters down? Lord Nelson? That doesn't look the most welcoming of gaffs. I don't think I have seen anyone walk in or out of their. Doesn't really push the boat out to suggest its open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyjoojar Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Flemish Weaver is clearly a shit pub, in a shit location, in a shithole, it's not a rough pub just proper shit!!! The Woolpack however I frequented over 20 or so times. The last I was chased out by wankers throwing pool balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L/H White Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Flying Shuttle in New Bury, I played a bloke at darts in there with one arm. I couldn't concentrate. Anyway the pub has since closed, I'm sure it was voted in the top 10 roughest pubs last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pato Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Queen Victoria or summat in Levenshulme. Was sat at a table having a few pints on Boxing day about 5 years ago watching soccer saturday. Getting stared down by everyone in there, it smelt of dog and then just as we were leaving a guy woke up from underneath the next table. would be the Little Vic near The Canadian Charcoal pit near the knocking shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 aye it was the brass handles http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/5363926.stm I did 2 weeks as a relief manager there in the early 90s. Longest fortnight of my life. Didn't sleep a wink, living in total fear.

The Robin Hoods not as bad as it looks from outside Flying Shuttle in New Bury, I played a bloke at darts in there with one arm. I couldn't concentrate.

Pie Eater Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Not rough but certainly not right We had tea in the Balcarres on Sunday night over Haigh/Aspull way as someone said it was cheap and cheerful. I'd recommend it if you fancy being entertained by Wigginers singing randomly That the Earl of Balcarres in Scholes, next to the tower blocks? All the scrotes from the towers end up in there, it's one of the roughest pubs in WIgan (which takes some doing) Last Orders in Wigan town centre is seriously grim amd all. More than once I've seen pensioners in shellsuits scrapping outside there before midday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a bloke goes in that Balcarres, he's menkul, but hilarious. It's not that bad though, unless the nobs from the Flamingo now go in there.

It's not that bad though, unless the nobs from the Flamingo now go in there. It goes from being just weird during the day (old men crying at horse racing, dogs on string etc) to rough as arseholes at night. Wouldn't go in after 5pm if you paid me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Claremont was funny one afternoon when a West Indian lad rode in on his cycle, circled the tables for a bit, then rode out again, knowbody batted an eyelid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTheRave Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Is that called the Flemish weaver? Cracking pub. I went on a school trip to the university across the road when I was 15. Me and about five others managed to lose the rest of our class and fucked off in there for the afternoon. No problems getting served and one of the locals even sold us a fiver deal of rocky which they let us smoke in the pub. Best school trip ever.

magic legs Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Went in Griffin a few Saturdays ago and it was quiet. Still had to sup up our 2nd sharpish when a diplomacy-challenged mate upset some of the regulars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hartlepool or Darlington away, not sure which, went in a pub with the other member of bingley whites, there was no one behind the bar, just a table drinking plastic bottles of cider, turned out was the barmaid. She did serve us but they had no glasses left so only bottles, oh and they had a small pony with them. We debated asking what food they had on but were too busy laughing. Not scared in sense you felt in danger but very very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic legs Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Scunthorpe pub I watched that 4-1 stuffing by Blackburn in, had a sign on bog door "customers only no smackheads" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in, but it's years ago. There were West Indian blokes playing dominoes slamming them down and shouting the way they do. I was the only white man in and felt like a spot on one of the dominoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
