radfordred 6,284 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 What's the prices like red ? Not a clue I usually pay before they tell me "how much" I always pay with a note & come home with a pocket full of change, you could charge me any price & give a handful of washes in my chance I've never looked! ...... but I do admire those that know the price of a pint in each pubs, I have mates that work out which pub will be there round? Baffles me 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 When I'm out,I'm out..met a friend last year,she brought her fella..we met in the old church(p&p?). anyway he was chuntering all the time about the prices..twit here had paid!! Eventually we left and went across to The Cross Keys..inside his Harrington.. he had a half bottle of coke from the previous boozer..then proceeded to hit the barmaid with a PURSE!!! of shrapnel ( not literally) I drank up and left...people like that would live in your ear!!

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Been mentioned here before, but the Embankment - former Boots Social Club - gets a mention in the Post. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Historic-Nottingham-pub-built-Boots-workers-1900s/story-28883311-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 That looks fine provided they don't charge the same rip-off prices as I found in the Sir John Borlase Warren last year. I never mind paying my whack BUT hate being robbed blind either ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie 1,392 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Pubs as we know them have gone, never to be the same.........They were built on every corner a century ago as the working class people did not have nice homes, the homes were for eating and sleeping and where the women lived with the kids, the pub is where the blokes went and relaxed with their mates after a hard days graft.......... Progress and Drink, driving laws have put paid to all that.............People now have nice homes and they can drink their wine and beer there whilst relaxing with their mates and the telly............. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRD 196 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Agree with you Blondie, but add to that all day opening which killed the "pub atmosphere" - you never know now when/if anyone is going to be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 That looks fine provided they don't charge the same rip-off prices as I found in the Sir John Borlase Warren last year. As it's a Castle Rock group pub I'd very much doubt that would be the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Walking through town this afternoon I noticed that The Turf has started opening in the daytime. The question now is where will I get a pint of grossly overpriced lager at 3.30 in the morning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 That would be Bar Esquina in Alea casino. £4 for 2/3 of a pint of Mahou. It's my regular nightcap venue when I finish late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm not sure if this should be in 'Closing down' or 'Opening up'. The former "Happy Return" in Lenton is now called this :- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
