Sorry don't have any pics but summer evening, tower bank arms at near sawrey in the lakes. Good beer on tap, friendly, good views.

Got no pictures of mine but if you imagine a scene out of shameless you are pretty much on the money. A proper estate pub on a council estate in the Midlands. A shite hole of the highest order but I love the place.
going to Arran in 3 weeks.....thanks for the heads up?
fave pub......do you hae a hour>
Ton, mail me if you want any info. Where are you staying? I've been going to Arran for years, just back from a week there.
My local and our post ride repose:

staying in Lochranza, gonna do a clockwise loop of the island when we get off the ferry.
[img]

Certainly my favourite local.
CFH, your local looks like a tanning salon, although Cask would be an odd name for a tanning salon right enough.
😀 It is indeed a most unassuming exterior, I agree!
What lies within, however......
(Applies to both!)

A winters evening and a paper by the fire,perfection.
Dunno any pubs in Lochranza, is there any? Stops for you on the way round on the bike - tea room at the golf course at Sannox. Drift inn, obviously. Kildonan hotel and lagg hotel in the south. Cafe thyme at machrie, they have a wood fired oven and do stuffed Turkish pides which are apparently very good.
Gimme a shout when yer going, I'm only 20 mins from the ferry, would be up for a spin.

Half populated by farmers half populated by twarag campfire burning gangsters.

Just been voted best pub by local CAMRA. They brew their own beer which is awesome!

RD, round our way The Cask is on Palace Street. Cask is the one above! Different, see?
When were you in the 'hood? And, if you're back, let me know!
Probably the tower bank arms if I had to choose

Clachaig Glencoe.
ooh, tough call. But as I'm there tomorrow. Cwellyn Arms. It's the location more than anything. http://www.snowdoninn.co.uk/ I'll get a pic 😀
Losing the will to live trying to post a picture, but it would have to be Inn Deep in Glasgow. It's owned by Williams Brothers, so has a good range of their stuff plus guest ales on regular rotation. Also it has a beer garden overlooking the Kelvin which has been very pleasant during the recent good weather.

And Ton. Small world, I'm in Leeds and off to Arran in 2 weeks 🙂
Is Inn Deep formerly The Dolphin?
If so, that would probably be worth moving to Glasgow for.
Anytime I'm in Inn Deep I need about 15 minutes to decide what I want, an almost too big a selection...Brilliant.
Not had the pleasure of having a stint spent outside in the sun but it does look good for a lazy, bleery day.
Had a think about all the pubs I've been to and decided these are my favourites.
Long time favourite- filthy, smelly and has at least 2 willies in the bathroom but welcoming and always fun.
[img] 
[/img]
And this one I've only been to once, but it was on a sunny evening, by the river, people were canoeing to it and it had a stream running through it. I turned up with no mates and left with 3.
[img] 
[/img]
The Dolphin is at the bottom of Byres Road I think. Inn Deep is over on....a road I cannot remember, beside Kelvin Bridge Underground.
Inn Deep used to be The Big Blue and my wife assures me it was the Dolphin before that. They've opened the arch next door as a sort of smokers area, or an-almost-outside-when-it's-raining bit.
[img] 
[/img]
Nah - that used to be the Dolphin, by virtue of there being a rotting blue wooden dolphin. Spent many a bleary eyed day and evening there. Splendid pub, shich could only have been improved by Williams Bros beer.
I am speaking garbage...Move along.
Nobeer, ton - stw Arran ride ???? I'd be up for that too 🙂
Poole arms on Poole Quay.
Surrounded by touristy tat all round, but always enjoyed a pint here. You have to come out of the pub and go down the alley to the left to get to the charming outside gents...
[img] 
[/img]
I think having a favourite pub is a little like having a favourite hand, I may spend more 'time' with my right hand, but it doesn't mean I like the left one any less!
Ha mine is alao the bell at Aldworth as posted by dougd. In fact ive just got back from ride to there.
This is the Centurion bar at Newcastle station. Not a good photo, but a stunning place for a pint while you wait for a train. [img] 
[/img]
Ah yes, I remember the old chap carving the dolphin with his chainsaw.
When I'm working away I can pick pretty much any hotel in the New forest but I always stop here when I can.

Ooh oh I've been to cask down flashy's way, it's rather good! I err, think....
Int 'north, it's gotta be the sportsman in Huddersfield, couple of years since I've been, but it's bloody good. Actually, all the locals where I used to live (the woodman at thunderbridge, the golden cock at farnley tyas, the white hart at Denby dale and the rose and crown at thurstonland) were ace.
*thinks very seriously about moving back...

Dear Christ no! (Opinion based on the regulars in my local(s))
Where's the Farmers Arms Rusty? Is that In NWales? love a bit of Old Peculier
It's in Muker, in Swaledale, North Yorks.
Manages to pull off the trick of being a decent pub for both tourists and locals - really well kept beer, reasonably priced, well cooked, tasty food, real fire, friendly staff, great atmosphere.
It's a pretty amazing place to ride an MTB too: Really interesting trails that anyone can ride, drains well, loads to go at, stunning views - up there with Snowdonia and Northumberland in my top 3.
Might be up your way in a couple of weeks if you're up for a spin?
The Stables; we actually bought our house partly because this pub is 10 minutes walk away through the fields. Proper old mans' pub with huge open fire, fantastic food and it looks like someones' house from the outside... Landlord ale, Stella for mid-dog-walk pints on a hot day, random guest ale
[img] 
[/img]
Incredibly welcoming in the winter, whether you have a muddy dog or a muddy arse - that fire is a God-send.

special mention to the Welly (Freemantle, Southampton) for when i'm down there, the pub by the weir in crickhowell (sp) wales for the ace food and beergarden, the old joint stock in brum (jaws drop the first time you take folk in there), and on the off-chance it still exists, the Spread Eagle near leicester train station - in '99 i bunked off college to go to the demontford open day with a couple of friends - we ended up in there - still the only place i've ever seen the offspring's self titled album on a (proper) jukebox. which reminds me, the rockstation&talbot in stourbridge for facilitating my angsty late teen years

Ha Ha the Nook may have great beer but its one of the only pubs that got worse after the smoking ban. Have you been to the Cricketers at Deabhouse?
The Donkey at Tilford.

Nothing flash or fancy but always a warm welcome, even when dripping in mud, water, ice etc (complimentary towels offered to clean filth from face). Large good honest food portions for us bikers, gratis crisps, nuts or sometimes chips at the bar post ride. Try before you buy if they have a new beer on. Oh, it's a blessing the Donkey isn't within walking distance from my home!
The Pandora Inn, Mylor, Cornwall. Had many birthday parties, celebrations and a graduation there..

Chainlocker, Falmouth, Cornwall. Special spot in the harbour. Lovely place.

Jacob's Ladder, Falmouth, Cornwall. I lived next door so got mates rates, an annual tab, home delivery and lock ins. Awesome hippy spot.

It was at the top of these steps from town.. Lethal after a few Old Rosies at the pub on a winters night.

Edit: I use to work at the Old Bell, Aldworth. Wonder how many of you I've served 😯
Is the donkey at charleshill, rather than tilford itself? Never been in, but feel tempted now!
Distinctly unlocal - 300 miles distant - but it was my local for 3 years and I still miss it and look forward to every chance to revisit

This is my local:
[img]

popped in there for many a quick pint on the way home from work and crawled out at 5am the next day.
Use it less now, as it is more like a restaurant nowadays. Sitting on the veranda overlooking the river on a warm summers evening is still one of my all time favourite places.
Any to recommend in Bolton?

Anyone ridden these steps? Looks a bit tight with the handrail.

I have.. did it in my first year. Used a Charge Blender with 710mm bars. It's the widest you can use. The top (round the corner) and the lower bit was easy. The middle is very sketchy. Never did it again.
a great people watching pub as well as a nice pint.

Wordnumb - The Warren House is in a stunning location. The landlord however is the most unfriendly grumpy git to ever stand behind a bar so I rarely stop there.
