Steed 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Well sad to say Steed , of your choices only one (The Bell) is still there !! It was the Queen Elizabeth (Q E) up Bottle Lane. sad really. My aunty use to own the Tavern in Town Upper parliament st up until about 1996? I always remember being in there when it was the first day of "all day opening hours"....when was that? I was with a guy from Leicester during my college days at trent Polytechnic as it was then. Central TV were in the pub & caught yours truly & the lad from Leicester still boozing at about 4.30pm. As it was also on Central news at 6pm my boss saw it!! Didn't get the sack but never lived it down either !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Nice to see the Mitchells & Butlers ripping out revival/flairs & turning it back into a proper pub? I think they should have given it's proper name back the Tavern in the Town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,084 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Had my first legal drink in the TiTT, a half of bitter during my lunch break on my 18th birthday. Tasted awful - especially compared to the many decent pints of Home Ales I'd consumed in the previous five years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
