Worst pubs you have ever frequented...

[andyhinch]

Suppose it depends on your definition of worst pubs.

To me the worst pubs are those like The Hare and Hounds in Timperley or The Moorings in Worsley, where they look at you as if you're some sort of weirdo if you just want a few pints and not a three course meal to go with it.

I expect the thread to head off in the opposite direction of rough and ready locals in not the greatest parts of town. So I'll go with, The Church/Hulme. The Silver Birch/ Wythenshawe. Ryan's Bar/ Sale. The Park/ Northern Moor.

All pubs I quite like though.

What wrong with the church? Apart from the landlord been my local for 30 years was in there with my daughter yesterday

My brother was always in there, is it still a squeeze trying to play pool

Don't go in the vault foods good landlords an arse nice covered beer garden for all the football

Vault? Food?

Are we talking about the same Church?

Cambridge St? Just before The Mancunian roundabout?

Brinny Labour Club - full of rags
Gorton Labour Club - rum as fuck
Jack & Gil - Brinny - eep!
The Princess - amazed we are this far in and no one has mentioned the Prinny!

I lived in that pub for a short while in the mid 70's ... and yes , it certainly had its moments alright !

There was a 'drive' at the back of it where some right dickheads lived !

It's just little houses now, had forgotten it or wiped from memory it was err interesting?

it was Burrwood Drive.

n'out wrong with Burrwood !

Went I went to my sisters graduation in Chester a mate from work kept going on and on about this pub all his mates went to. Supposed to be wall to wall women and fantastic music with an atmosphere to match. So I was so excited to go there and he gave me the name "The Liverpool Arms".

I went to this pub and straight away the bouncers ask "You sure you in the right place mate?" Im like "yeah of course" and walk in tight top on with jeans and thinking im the man about to pull.

First thing I hear is "Its raining men" so im like not a bad song as I walk up to the bar. I look around all I see are sweating men dancing with each other. So I was like "fuck it I just got here was a long drive ill get a drink and relax." Ended up getting a few drinks and just hanging out in there.

Told my mate from work the following Monday and it was the big joke that he sent me to a gay bar. It was the worst as there were no women but I had no issue with it.

Please someone post that pic of Dids in the blue oyster bar.

The Gay Gordon/ The Welcome Inn (pmsl laughing that they renamed it that) on the top of the hill in Langley, there was absolutely nothing you couldn't get in there, whatever you wanted if it wasn't on the premises it would be sourced and delivered before you'd finished your pint.

The new broom, junipers and the cardinals hat were the same.

wasn't the hat & junipers the same boozer? or have I lost my marbles? :)

Midland now the Metropolitan near Didsbury.
Grey Parrot in Hulme
Yates`s near Chorlton bus station back in the 80`s
A pub on the Falls Rd in Belfast - more like a shebeen with cans and two types of whiskey
The lively lobster on the racecourse in Sale
O`briens in Stretford .

As a Old Moat lad I remember the following were a bit rum!

Squires
The Midland
Withington Ale House
The Orion
Waterloo

Then I moved to Salford!

Had to serve my apprenticeship again!

The Welcome
The Paddock
Flemish Weaver
Wagon and Horses.

All quite tasty at times. Think most of them are shut down now.

Withington ale house was one of my faves with the White lion downstairs for bands
