Swampy 147 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 kilimanjaro bar acrua ghana There's a kilimanjaro in Takoradi too! However that was reasonably civilised in that you actually got a mug with your beer. Some bad places down the coast in Nigeria especially Lagos. West african ning been in there swamps . Is up market the one in acra. Is a little bit more. Brash. Never got to a bar in lagos are sponcer would not let us out of the landcruiser. Lol. A wise sponsor. I believe you need a bullet proof vehicle in some parts of Lagos now. Its justa place that needs avoiding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swampy 147 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Long time ago now, but there was a pub down on the docks in Foynes on the river Shannon. I went in there with my brother-in-law and it was the scariest pub I've ever been in. There was a Russian ship in port that day and it was full of pissed-up Russian sailors, complete with scars and eye patches. Mind you, it could be a gastro pub or bistro now - but I doubt it! Loaded Borities there once. Ther's a mental hospital on the hill over looking the town. Small place with more pubs than houses it seemed. The big pub as the Shannon Hotel i remember. For a small town it was sure a wild night out. The nurses from the hospital especially so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,284 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 My local is 'ember dining' prim and proper bullshit and i hate it £3.95 a pint, full of fanjita on a weekend though Give me a dive any day of the week, usually go to the working mans club for cheap pints, bit of pool and bingo 22 going on 90 BINGO When the prize is usually over £200 it's worth a quid!! Any 20 year old who is going on the piss in a working mans club and playing bingo needs f***ing shooting, now call me old fashioned, but IMHO at 20 odd you should spend your weekends up to your balls in the most perverted old slappers you can lay hands too, totally wasted or be travelling away to other places in the country and going in the rough boozers there to see what your really made of.........preferabally, both! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hutch6 550 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) We were on a stag do in Prague and had landed not more than three hours before, dumped the bags, headed straight out early doors and fell through the doors of the first boozers we could find. We were all mates anyway through football and general alcohol related activities so it was straight in with the banter and piss taking. A few of the finest bavarian lagers were swoshed down and everybody started to get a bit louder, a bit more jovial and generally pissed. We decided to to head towards Charles' Bridge but have a look out for boozers along the way and call into as many as we possibly could. We headed out of one and into another and so on until we were pretty much eagle-eyed at spotting beer dispenseries and pie-eyed at everything else. We wandered out of one that was just off of Wenceslas Square and a quick glance down one of the back streets I hollered out I'd found the next one. We slalomed towards the door, fell through it and it seemed a nice quiet pub full of just general looking blokes to me. "My round!" I exclaimed and wandreed over to the bar. In my best slurred English and the use of charades I managed to convey the order to the guy behind the bar. As the numerous beers made their way on to the bar one of our party came over and whispered in my ear "we're drinking as fast as we can and going". "What?" I said. "I want to speak to the locals, get a bit of culture, learn a bit and have a few laughs". "This isn't the place". said my friend. "No, he's right this isn't the place" Came the tones of a slightly Czech type of accent. I looked over to where it had come from and there was a guy with a blad head, drinking his pint and reading a newspaper. I didn't think anything of it and just thought he was being a bit rude. I paid for the beers without so much as a muttering from the barman and after a few trips carried the drinks to my mates who were sat quite quietly which was a stark difference to how they were not 2mins ago. "What's up lads? Why are you lot so quiet and why are we drinking an heading out, it's quite cheap here?" My best mate leane din to me and said "Have you not noticed?" "Noticed what?" "Look at the walls around you!" "What the...........drink up lads we're off!" I'd failed to noticea few things as I was in a pleasant mood and what not but we had stumbled into what I can only describe as the Prague bee-hive for Neo-Nazis. There were swastikas all over the place and not just painted there were big red flags. There were old pictures of german army guys on the wall etc, loads of newspaper clippings showing guys in full on riot gear marching and portesting along with all manne rof other stuff I'd rather forget, and I swear I saw the "Work will set you free" statement above the bar as we made a hasty exit. After that it was pretty average. Loads more beer, a couple of lapdances and a lesbian show. Edited February 4, 2013 by hutch6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 My local is considered rough. People skin up in there, snort coke off the tables and its always the first place your mates turn up when they get out of jail. The place is adorned with BCFC Zulu pictures and memorabilia as thats who the pub belongs too. The beer is decent though and is a reasonable price for today's standards at £2.40 for a lager. There's more drug dealers in there than actual punters so god knows how any of them make any money? lol. A few digs get handed out now and then but that's how it's always been in pubs round here. Almost all of the pubs round here have been closed now so this place is the only good shit hole that's left unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 The pub is a dying part of british ooops and irish culture. We dont relise the what we are loosing They are closing in there droves The dock rd in liverpool had in its hay day 250 pubs / hotels along it lenth like all ports it had its rough ones the stories are ledgendry of the people who freqented them now there are 2 pubs and one hotel. The dimise of the pub is tied to many thing in the case of liverpool container ships and closing of general cargo docks , industrial towns and citys And mineing towns are the same the miners social clubs etc hang on by there nails. There are still the dives we all know and love to hate but getting fewer and fewer , Like the one facing walton hostipital were all the patients used to sneak over to for a bevy. You would walk in on yeh way home from the match one week there was a fella stood at the bar with a drip and stand stood next to him in a house coat and pyjarmers. Lol 24 hour drinking lol always has been just knowing were to go , the atlantic the only pub i know were you could get a bj. Egg n bacon a leg of lamb and live music at 5 in the morning 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
