the Best, Worst, Stangest Pub You've Been In ?

[BOLIO1 1,078]

In August this year a pal and I travelled over to a breeder of hawks in south Wales...... which was an ordeal in itself, but that's another story.......and we stayed in a great little village called Trehafod, I think, in a pub called The Bertie. We arrived late, about 10 pm, so things were already in full swing with some local girl with a beautiful voice singing classic pop songs from the last three decades. We had a good drink, a deep sleep and a great breakfast before leaving by 8:30 a.m. to complete the last few miles to do our business but such was the friendly welcome and service that we both came away with the sense of regret that we couldn't have spent a full weekend there. If you ever find yourself in the Rhondda with nowhere to stay, check out The Bertie and tell them the two drunken Belfastards recommended them!

There's a cracking little bar in Falstone Village called "The Blackcock"; we call it the "Dirty Dick" ! LOL ! the village sits in the shaddow of Keilder Dam, and the pub is a proper country pub; log fire, dog friendly, good craic with the local farmers and poachers; well worth a look in if you are in the area.

 

Cheers.

There used to be a pub near me, it had no running water or toilets for years. It was run by two brothers and was a famous pub for late night drinking and lads would go out to the pub from the city after closing time and drink away there all night.

 

By the time I was drinking the pub had toilets and running water but that was about the only luxury in the place apart from a framed copy of the 1916 Proclomation on the wall. Lads that drank there for years told me that before they had the toilets and running water you had to go out into the field at the back of the pub to go to the toilet and they had an old bathtub full of water behind the bar for cleaning the glasses. Needless to say the water in the bath wouldn't be the cleanest and one of the brothers was heard telling the dog one night not to drink from the water in the bath as it was dirty. Or so the story goes?

 

Seemingly the pub was on the border of two Garda districts and they thought it was in the others district so they rarely got raided.

 

It was a great pub to drink in and there was some craic to be had there. They were different times.

There was a boozer in Tilbury called " The Ship".....they had a centre page spread in the sun with the headline " we are the hardest pub in Britain " and a picture of a load of half wits trying to look the part.

 

Day after the paper came out there were coach loads of lads arriving from all over the shop and sending these plums to casualty 2 or 3 times a day......the boozer was shut within the month and now it's a post office ! Lol lol lol.........maybe it's the hardest post office in Britain now!! Lol lol

Now Gorton is a rough place

 

Anywhere else the swimming pool would be called a "spa" or a "lido". In Gorton it's called "The Gorton Tub"
