the nearest pub can be seen from my front window - it's a flat roofed Holt's with bitter that no-one drinks but harmless otherwise. Planning approval has just been given for a makeover, local rumour mill says food pub with beer on the side but not sure what that will actually look like by the end of it.
The trackside in Bury and The Clarence are better options, as are the hipster bars in Prestwich
A five star review of what was my local on trip adviser 😃
Expensive beer, miserable landlord and the gypsy's look like they've been fly tipping in the beer garden.
myti about 30 minutes walk away
Theres no such thing as a 30 min walk, just a 10 min cycle 😉
A decent local is a basic human right. However, it can be bloody dangerous when it's actually too good. Our local is bloody brilliant. It ticks every box. Great beer (there's a microbrewery downstairs), a pie cabinet behind the bar which normally contains cheese and jalapeno pasties from the local bakery, a fantastic selection of (Lancashire) crisps, great relaxed atmosphere, brilliant staff who've been there for years, no music or TV (unless they've got a band on).
I spend far too much time and far too much money in there. Every ride finishes here. It's the law!
If you're in East Lancs then there are far worse places to have a pint than the Irwell Works Brewery 😀
1) selection of Fyne Ales on draft
2) proper Glasgow mix including many of our attractive, quick tongued and cool hipster brigade
3) free jukebox
Could go on
I’m lucky to live in Sussex, which is blessed with good local breweries & lots of lovely pubs, of which my village has 2.
1. Good local Beer
2. I know the landlady/landlord/staff
3. I play for them in the village cricket thrash (free beer for players on match night)
4. Free chips on a Tuesday after our village mtb ride.
5. Local bands last Sunday of the month.
Agree with Binners - I'd spend way too much time in too good a local.
I used to live one minute walk form the fat cat in norwich, but I wasn't really into my real ale back then.
My local is being gradually turned into a restaurant unfortunately. The best ones are up north or in the south-west. Too much greed down south.
It’s Friday, support your local 👍
