Salford's finest, the Flemish Weaver
http://lds.localdataimages.com/large/1047/10477050.jpg
ha, the first image made me think of this one too.
This one on the Elephant and Castle roundabout
http://img01.beerintheevening.com/73/73b36eeceddd8f32ca1d4db72ce25c42.jpg
I really, really, really want to go in there...
i love how it says short/long stay
not long/short stay, it implies that your stay will be a short one :D
I've been in there
It's alright, just a bit tiny.
The one next to the Whittington Hospital in Archway on the other hand... I only went in for a piss and nearly got a pasting.
Gotta be nicer than the Charlie Chaplin
Where the emphasis is on the Charlie
Once I was in the Charlie Chaplin
A guy got yelled at by the staff for drinking so much that he passed out. He was ejected, but he burst back in 5 minutes later, clutched his stomach and collapsed on the floor. The bar staff eventually called an ambulance after a debate about whether he was serious. He was groaning and shouting for an ambulance. As the staff carried him outside, Don't Fear the Reaper came on the stereo.
:'D
I've been there. I've been to worse pubs...
The Nelson's Retreat on Old Street looks horrible
And weirdly in my old hometown of Ashford there was a rough as hell part of town called Stanhope with a pub called The Nelson which looked like you'd be glassed on entry.
Ah The Nelson's Retreat is fine...
...little bit on the rough side but it's fine.
We drink in there every Christmas, nice enough pub.
One of the first pubs I drank in when I moved to london.
And I drink in there every Wednesday after I play football.
Never seen any trouble. Staff are friendly enough.
Anyone seen the film ID?
I really want to find the pub they used in that that was called 'The Rock'.
It looks brilliant.
By brilliant...
...I mean rough as fuck.
They're throwing fucking darts you twat
You two Dogs then?
Maybe it's one of these?

when was the last time you looked at my bum John?!
I am fucking saying you two-bob WANKER

The only film more quotable than ID is Beverley Hills Cop 2.

Followed with a trip to this nightclub, just stumbling distance away:
http://is.gd/hY6DYl
Those two are epic
Are they actually open?
The first one: very much so.
Drove past just the other week and saw three very contented looking gents leaning on the wall watching the world go by. There's an exceptionally busy car boot sale that takes place opposite.
The second one: don't think so. But I don't think it looked much different when it was open.
How about this one?: http://is.gd/aC8gOP Open. But only bothers on match days, apparently.
And for balance, here's a 2-for-1: http://is.gd/9xm4ws The other one is just along the road.
A couple more along the same road (between me anf the city centre): http://is.gd/jpE4i0 & http://is.gd/9F09qv (pan to your reverse on the second one for the actual brewery!)
This one, not so much for the pub (which, splendidly, has coppers outside), but as an excuse to shoehorn in the now burnt down place next door: http://is.gd/JLbkCv

I love that you can see Celtic Park

that last pic is genuinely incredible
Love the fact that...
The MacKinnons google street view actually has police outside talking with a 'patron'
:D
Incredible
FUCK. MY. BOOTS.
THOSE ARE AMAZING.
you did set the bar (ha!) fairly high with the OP
Incredible.
The things that must happen in those two places... just imagine.

I like how 'Joanna Dee' sounds a bit like 'you wanna die'

That pub's not that bad.
Had a beer or two in there after I got my GCSE results.

I'm loving this thread
Trying desperately to think of somewhere that rivals a lot of these and can't. Top work!
It's kinda like when you're playing FIFA/ProEvo,
with a mate who knows the game, so you agree to a 'no Brazil' rule to even things up a bit. Glasgow's East End being the Brazil of uninviting pub locales.
I remember on my band's one visit to Glasgow
On our way out of town from where we were staying we drove through a pretty rough area. We passed a pub called The Jester or something depressingly ironic like that. It was under a leaky bridge in a kind of semi-industrial area - the windows were made of cheap wood and it was painted black and blue, think it had pebbledashed side walls. Looked like the grimmest place ever. Wish I could find a picture of it, as it would definitely be right up there!

This one on the curry mile in Manchester
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/38/38426/Huntsman_Inn/Rusholme
stubbornly out of place, and full of the scariest looking people...
yep
i think i've posted before about the hobbgoblinish guy i saw leave the hunstman who then immediately racially attacked a woman and her child :( it is like it's been there since before rusholme was incorporated into manchester in the nineteenth century and all the people who go there are the descendants of a few hundred "indigenous" inhabitants and its their last refuge from the immigrants who have populated the area for most of the past 50 years.
http://rusholmearchive.org/_image/x3sgH48jYg_46959.jpg
i mean i'm sure some regulars aren't violent racists
but in my imagination, they are.

So is now a friendly hipster pub. Still shitty inside though.

The Forresters: http://bit.ly/jpnqE6
(Note the Live Sort (sic))
Robin's Bar: http://bit.ly/iEIk1C
Those places are both fine
I've been on a pub crawl through Canton several times, nothing wrong with any pubs along there
I agree.
They just don't look very inviting from the outside. That said, I did once see someone lying outside the Forresters in pool of blood (they were being attended to - I didn't just ignore them and walk past like a twat).
And one from Liverpool
The New Penny Farthing: http://bit.ly/iIStWK
And another
http://bit.ly/jngv6I
Isn't this place right in the middle of Liverpool?

Yeh,

That one seems uninviting.

Exceptional. Just... exceptional.
I *think* I've been in the Treble Two
On the basis that it's the least frightening looking pub in close proximity to Urban. I don't remember it being horrendous.
hmmm these aren't properly scary (unless you're wearing the wrong colours)
there are a few absolute dives near my house in manchester (rusholme/longsight). the sort of places where they lock the door behind you. cosmic horror.

The King Billy in Exeter: http://bit.ly/sgK76M
Came here to post this
I have more good memories of this pub than any man reasonably should...
I remember once going there with a friend on a Tuesday when were both skinted to take advantage of their happy hour Tuesday. It was about £1.50 a pint and the pub was empty except for one old man, yet was blaring out obscenely loud trance music. It was 1pm
i did karaoke in there once
when it was still called Strikers. its a strange place. The Horse and Groom in Heavitree was full of lunatics

The Dundee Arms in Bethnal Green
http://deadpubs.co.uk/LondonTripPics/DundeeArms.jpg
It's slightly worrying how much time I've spent
in so many of the pubs mentioned in this thread. I'm scum.
My sister actually went to the Dundee Arms recently
as it was the only pub nearby showing gaelic football and she said the staff were lovely. It just looks grim.
Never gathered up the courage to go in here:

o_o
All I can say is stay away from this strange place.. it's an absolute sh*t hole. Girls are illegal, but they'll suck you off in the toilets for about £4, plus a pound tip. The manager insists on watching though. Your call...
There were quotation marks there originally, honest.

not particularly uninviting i just love it.
Sad times.
I think The Lampost http://is.gd/jpE4i0 has closed down now.
that is a real shame. was loving the complete lack of windows on that place
It has been knocked down completely, now.
The Wellington, also in Salford:

shut down last month after a bloke got shot dead in there.

turns out it had already been closed down once for being a hive of organised crime activity. I always found it near-impossible to tell whether it was open or not whenever I went past, but I can't say I was ever tempted to nip in and see for myself.
The Old Pint Pot?
can't say I've ever been in, The Crescent across the road is alright but it's been ages since I was last in there. The New Oxford on Bexley Square across from the magistrates court is decent as well, but I don't tend to go boozing down that end of Chapel Street often because it's generally a bit of a dive.
have you been to the Black Lion lately KiK?
It's really nice.
yeah, it went a few months ago
I don't think it's a stretch to say that demolishing the Flat Iron is a crime against humanity.
not far from there, just round the back of Salford market

When facing the Criterion, there is a lorry full of what looks like Lamb carcasses. Behind that is the Prince Of Wales. That looks terrifying. I am not sure it comes across on the streetview, but I don't even like being stuck in traffic next to those pubs.
They are my locals.
I've yet to brave any of them.
The Duke of York
Is a bloody lovely pub, only round the corner. It looks kind of inviting
http://tinyurl.com/8294ujg
Yeah, I like The Duke of York
I think it's only the trilogy of pubs you mentioned that have the fear factor in this area
Probably the least welcoming pub i've been to in Bristol
was The Old England
that's purely because it is known as a dealers hangout, and I went there to buy some stuff about a week after a raid. I left quickly.
Yeah
I have friends who have fairly interesting stories about going to The Old England to buy things...
I tried to find an uninviting looking picture of the Criterion
but none of them captured it well enough. And the Streetviews of the Bulldog and Fellowship in Filton don't do them justice.
The Bear and Rugged Staff in Southmead always looks mildly terrifying: http://bit.ly/wnHOte
It appears Joeymahone drives there to drink

And the Lebeq Tavern:
http://bit.ly/z5bsv6
I've actually been in there. I didn't die.
The Horseshoe in Filton (with adjoining sex shop):
http://bit.ly/x2l1FA
The Three Blackbirds is rather worse.
I also wouldn't go in the criterion. Two murders in the last few years
Used to get the bus past the Three Blackbirds a lot
looked grim.
also how old is that picture of the Lebeq's?
That carwash is a subway now.
someone threw a bottle at me outside the second one.

cycle past this nearly every day

makes me shudder every time.
Isn't that in Rev?
some around eastlands are grim

Sounds enticing
So i smashed his head on the piss bowl
Britain's roughest pubs, apparently...

Have any of the resident Glaswegians done the Subcrawl?
I've always fancied doing that, but seeing I average one trip to Glasgow every 10 years and have yet to indulge.
Blast from the past
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/2651490
No but I've mentally mapped out where I'd go
though as some replied there said, I'd stay North of the river
I have a couple of times
Never had any bother in any of the establishments we've gone into. Only particularly bad one is the one in Ibrox, think it's called the Stadium bar, or similar. Obvious reasons.
Otherwise, keep to whichever pub is nearest the subway stop for each destination and you won't go too far wrong. Some absolute belting places too, The Laurieston at Bridge Street in particular is great.
and for those in the thread who aren't away of the Laurieston
http://thelauriestonbar.com/images/thelaurieston.jpeg
It's beautiful.
Pfft, I's probably at least have a pint
in most of these above establishments. I wouldn't however step foot in here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/5695373643/
I walk past it often. There's usually a gang on pikeys loitering around the entrance and it actually smells form the outside. That said, anyone fancy a pint here some time?
The market House Tavern, Portsmouth
On the side of a motorway ffs. http://is.gd/jKHmpg
bumping this because i went in one earlier!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/527764_10152184168780790_1457816123_n.jpg
ordered a brandy and coke and the coke came from a warm and flat two litre bottle of (i think) aldi coca-cola. great stuff.
It has a flat roof
What did you expect?
That looks like it used to be a GP surgery
but because so many people were coming in with alcohol related illnesses they just gave up and made it into a pub.

I was thinking this has to be some bleak closed off suburb
but that's Middlesbrough main train station hiding in the background of the shot. Fucking christ :'D
aye, its some sort of regeneration zone.
they've built a lot of cheap office space to be used by student business ventures. But the bongo live on.
This is one of the best threads in DiS history
Every time I walk past this beauty right by West Croydon station I tell myself I'll bump this thread and put a photo in it. I always forget. Good bump!
I present to you ... The Gipsy Tavern

(This photo doesn't do it complete justice but I'm too stupid to work out how to link to google street view)
I love this Dundee pair
I had 1st year halls round the corner from this one. When served out pints we were (kindly) told we should drink quickly then leave by the guy behind the bar. Never went back. http://goo.gl/maps/JMQ93
I stayed a few doors down from this one. It was actually ok when I went in a couple of times but the locals scared one of my mates off when he decided to wait in there for me. He wouldn't come near the street after that. http://goo.gl/maps/1yIKN
I've been in a couple of the Glasgow ones (near the Barras) which were just about passable and the Auld St Clements in Aberdeen (I really needed to piss but it was properly scary) but I don't remember the St Andrews one being too bad (it was my mate's local)
cheeky shout out to this place
that i pass each day on the bus to work
http://goo.gl/maps/YlAA5
Thought that was going to be this one before it loaded
http://goo.gl/maps/wPSP7
I've been in there, it was just a run down old locals pub with bad beer and horse racing blaring on the TV.
funny thing is that it's sandwiched between 2 quite nice areas
alhough this place is nearby
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Road_Estate
how it got a grade 2 listing i don't know. the place is breathtakingly ugly
That backs on to the rail line into Euston doesn't it?
Always think it looks monstrously grim.
I suppose back when it was designed and built it was a state-of-the-art vision of the future. Like the Central Library/Paradise Forum and the old Bull Ring in Birmingham.
Oh man that looks awful
Our regular when we weren't old enough to be served in a real pub

Bars on the windows, shutters on the doors, frequented by some rather unsavoury characters.
Just want to say this is an ACE thread
