As a flip side to the worst pubs ever topic how about one for the best pubs ever.

 

Mine are:

 

Wooden Bridge in Guildford

The George in Crossharbour (London)

 

Both because they are proper pubs, have proper people in (i.e no pretentious ****s), show the football, good selection of larger and decent price.

As in the one in Warsash? If so yeah is a good pub, used to go there a bit when I lived in Locks Heath

 

Are you me?

 

Went to Itchen, used to live in Locksheath.... Bit weird!

 

I doubt he means that one as he is a Hedge Ender (although I guess Hamble isn't that far), but yeah, the Jolly Sailor is a good pub, bit sheet for parking but it's ok.

 

Saw Craig Charles off of Red Dwarf in there before. FACT.

LOL No last time I checked I wasnt you, may have been separated at birth by the sounds of it. Scary thing is that I may know you, or least know someone that knows you lol.

My main claim to fame from the area was seeing WGS at Kams Palace. However I dont want to stray off topic to much.

I'm fond of The Rising Sun at Warsash.

Tis a good little pub and on a nice sunny day it is great to sit out on the benchs with a pint outside infront of the marina!

 

I do also like hopping over to Hamble on a rib and having a few drinks over there, there are a lot of little pubs all close to each other!

If you're ever in my home county if Shropshire, go to Bishops Castle. Small town with two breweries (Three Tuns and Six Bells, both excellent but 6 Bells best) and six of the best real ale pubs you'll ever find within a couple if hundred yards in the High Street.

 

Beer Festival every July but lots of other festivals throughout the year that are just excuses to drink beer. (if you need an excuse).

The Flags, Slough

 

:-\"

 

I was a semi-regular there a few years ago. Either I was always unlucky enough to get their B-team, or that was how it ws always done.

The Frog & Frigate - god bless all those that sailed in her :(

 

That was a proper pub, sawdust on the floor good beer, and dancing on the tables Fridays and Saturdays.

A legendary place, enjoyed by my late father's generation long before I was even thought of.

 

Did I read that it was no longer there ?

Wooden Bridge is one of the best pubs I have been to, and back in 1996-98 I was there very often.

The saints pub is totally different these days, it's gone through some shocking owners in the past but the guys running it now have totally changed it. Hats of to them IMO.

For some reason the last paragraph I thought you were still talking about the saints pub!

It was called the Bosuns Locker for a good few years, it has now reverted back to The Juniper Berry. Don't upset the landlord though he's from a family of famous bouncers/boxers that worked the doors at Raffles, amongst other places, in the 80's. It has to be said he's actually a top bloke though.

There was a topless pub in Plymouth featured on 'Britain's Hardest Pubs' a few years ago, and the women were fairly disgusting. Might well be the one you're thinking of!
