Christ look at the state of it. (Christ you here? Oops, think he's logged out.) I really don't have a local but here are some bars in my area.

I DJ here twice a week

and

Here every odd week.

I drink in every other bar in the town.

[wb]

I was in Revolution about 6 Months ago. Very good :)

It is entirely possible that I heard you dj

Darren Beaver singing Fit but you dont know it

Is this your pseudonym?

[Fadetoblack]

Darren Beaver...now that's a name. But eh no. I take no part in Karaokes unless I'm in a different country/county

[silax]

i'll try and get a battery for my digi and take one of perverts corner where i have been known to sit with my mate for hours drinking coffee. its not a bar as such more of a cafe but my favourite table is about 2 mters from a zebra crossing and you get all the spanish girls asses staring at your face for about 10 minutes waiting for the lights to change

[markwales]

The Maltsters Arms

I spent pretty much all of my free time between the ages of 17 and 27 in this place!

Each night after work for a couple, then I'd be back there after dinner!!.... If a pub crawl was on the cards we'd start and finish here.

Spent many a happy night in there, and still go back there when I get home to Wales. Sometimes I go there before I actually get to the parents house

Was that pub on Britain's Toughest pubs by any chance?

[wb]

By the way, In the picture that I posted, you can see chimney stacks to the right of the pub. These are from my old house. I lived in between the pub and the bookies, with the off licence 2 doors down. Bad combination.

[presto]

my local:

been there about 3 times, - i live in a small village and non of my friend's live nearby - so going into preston is the norm.

the last time i went was about 5 years ago for a mates 18th. me and my mates got chucked out and the mad bitch of a landlady put a knife to my face - saying i smashed a few windows the week before. all complete nonsense as i never go near the place.

- for some reason this happens quite often.

Prefer Keiths local so far

I really think I'm slowly but surely developing dyslexia. I read and re-read that for the whole day as The Malteasers Arms.

[vegyjones]

I love my local...

Don't get many women visitors though

[samantha1303]

mmmmm we all know he made that up though.

My local - what does this mean exactly?
Is it the pub closest to you house?

Yeah, your local pub, the one 'where everybody knows your name..' type of pub.

[samantha1303]

In Leeds though that isn't the one closest to your house

[susanwells]

This is where we go most often for a quiet and superb pub meal..lovely pub, great food.. and I am told the ale brewed by a small brewer 5 miles away is great...

[wb]

There is just something lovely about them English country pubs. I really love going to them.

Not my "local" (its a chav domiated hovel next to the railway station, look snice, but...), but the one I do most of my (non bird related) drinking in. In addition to the description below, it has a TV at either end of the bar allowing you to watch 2 sporting events simultaneously, no matter how busy it is you get served within 2 minutes and it has both K1664 and Stella! Best comment I've seen about it is:

"Been using this place for over twenty years as one of the retarded beer guts that congregate at the end of the bar and would like to apologise if talking in group with your friends is seen as cliquey but as they say that is the way with a local pub rather than the soulless alcopop warehouses that seem to fill most main streets. It does not have Karaoke or quiz nights or a childrens bar,thank god, it also does not have a drug problem,violence or bouncers, in short an old fashioned pub."

Funnily enough, I can't find anything much about my favourite pub though, the Auldhouse Arms near East Kilbride. Its about a 6 mile walk through the country park from my Mums house, and as we usually end up walking there in the snow / rain / both, the 2 roaring log fires and frankly excellent beers are well worth the taxi ride home (you could walk back, but the lure of the warmth and beer always prove too much.)

Only problem I've had is that one of the barstaff obviously knows me and greeted me by name the first time I went in, but I have absolutely zero clue who they are!

[wb]

OFF, did you ever go to that Rangers pub that was featured on Britains toughest pubs? I think it was called 'the bunker' or something like that.
I looked like the maddest place I have ever seen, with no windows etc.
I was dying to go in, and have a look around, but that probrally would not have been a good idea :)

[bigcumba]

I wouldn't post a pic of my local here... been in it once in over 8 years... that was enough!

back in Airdrie though there were a couple of pubs I was a regular in... to the point of being offered a tab in one because I turned up one day ordered a pint and realised I'd forgot to go to the bank first - got called Norm (Cheers) for that... :) The attached pic is that pub - the Staging Post , and the link is to the Cellar Bar.... the guy who runs it now used to be the owner of the 'Post'.

If you're a whisky drinker, check out the whisky list.... and drool... :D

Must admit this is making me feel rather homesick.... :(
