I’ve got my own pint glass behind the bar at my favourite pub, and I don’t want that to get lost / broken, so I always make sure I take it back to the bar

I was at a pub a while back and it was Scrabble Sunday. They also did roast dinners on Sundays. But all the tables were taken up with people playing Scrabble and not eating. This meant there was nowhere for me and my friend to sit and eat a Sunday roast.

“You can sit at the bar,” said the dimwitted bar person.

“We can go to another pub instead,” we replied.

Some bar staff are so crappy at using a hand pump I think I’d rather pull my own. I mean, you’re not supposed to pour a pint of cask ale by going at the hand pump like a ten quid prozzie pulling off a punter.

all my friends are tall and I always turn up to a pub with them sitting up on these massive high chairs. I’m 5’1" and I can never get on the damn things :frowning:

whoops sorry no chat

I want to order a pint and there’s some gammon faced old men sitting at the bar getting in the way? Piss off and sit down somewhere out of the way.

They’ve probably not been trained because pub owners would rather they didn’t exist.

don’t forget, guys, if you’re in That London next weekend and want to visit A Good Pub;

Now THAT looks like a pub where you take your glasses back to bar.

it’s the greatest pub ever

I went into a local pub a month or two back. In a room that holds 80 odd people there were ten adults and 25 children. The noise was deafening. We walked out.

The pub’s management are idiots though - people slowly drinking a £3.50 pint while playing a board game vs people eating a £12 lunch and drinking a pint? Do the maths.

A niche where the same people come to your pub every Sunday vs. The same thing everyone else offers

Is your local the Höfbrauhaus?

When choosing a pub to go to…

  • I would like to go to the pub with the best range of drinks
  • I would like to go to the pub with the best range of entertainment (e.g. darts, pool, quiz machine, etc.)
  • I would like to go to the pub with the nicest vibe and interior
  • Other (and I will elaborate in a post below)

Actually, scrabble players are known the world over as top quality pint sinkers, who after at least 8 lagers in under two hours, start hitting double spirits like champs.

don’t care about entertainment, so a mixture of the other two

booths are nice in a really old pub with original period decor and all that where it’s an original feature that’s been retained. building them into a new pub is a bad idea though

Landlords that are overly loud, look at me and always,always about. Like they are the pub celebrity

  • They worked hard for this pub. Their pub, their rules and I like a landlord “character”
  • Please be quiet. Seen and not heard

As a rule I take glasses back to the bar.

Think I adhere to it about 80% of the time. Sometimes you just forget or if the pub’s quiet the staff will sweep them up within a minute of finishing. Think I’m worst at leaving my last pint glass knocking about. Like I’ll finish it and be like “shit, gotta go” and then I’ll just leave it on the table. So yeah I do it as standard but still room for improvement for sure.
