Pub talk.... About pubs!

[TomTomKent]

Hey folks.
Probably be done to death, but as this is the Pub Talk area, why not tell me about your favourite pubs?

[The Good Michael]

There aren't any pubs in Kazakhstan that I know of. Sorry.

I like Bowlers. Conveniently around the corner from the LMA. One of the people running it is from South Africa, and they have homemade bintag.

[Limehouse]

I like quiet pubs (no music, or very low, classical music) and no noisy machines. I know I will not be popular if I say I prefer pubs without children running around and I like good conversation and decent beer or wine.

My ideal pub would be a traditional, old, country pub with low beams, stone walls, a big fire, comfortable chairs, perhaps an old cat or two wandering about looking for fuss, and I'd have to have my favourite people around me - good friends who can share a joke, memories, conversation and so on.

My favourite pub is the drewe arms in drewsteignton, a really old, country pub, the front room looks as if the owners just adapted their own front room for the public, which is what probably happened, more than a hundred years ago. And Limehouse, why would you be unpopular, the fact that children weren't allowed in pubs just made it so special the first time one went in. I still remember the thrill, almost thirty years ago, when I was treated to a drink - sherry, I was with my grandmother - in a Yorkshire pub. I was almost like an initiation. Anyway, I fully endorse the Chief Inspector's choice.
