Never dared to go in

Thanks for the warning. The sedate Eorth Euston is more to my taste. Their guest beers are usually very good.

Hmm - Too many raised up bits scattered indiscriminately round which I seem to fall down and I always make a complete bugger of trying to get out through the revolving door.

Re: Pubs to Avoid

Why Fleetwood of course, dear boy......Fleetwood Arms, Fleetwood. Where elephants go to die, men are men and all the sheep are nervous, pansies are but flowers and where the girls use bus shelters for protection when having sex.

Obvious!!

Stupid me, about as obvious as one of our locals, the Devonshire Arms near Langport in the heart of Somerset!!

True, it does not have the ambience of a real pub but the beer is good. I would have mentioned the other pub on Dock Street in Fleetwood but I can't remember its name. Is it the Victoria? It used to be a genuine tiles on the wall pub and sold Higson's. That's going back. Must visit it again.

Madoc Yacht Club...Great Murphys, freezing cold Stella. Nice and inexpensive bar meals, great ground floor restuarant with stunning views. Large family room. Beer garden with equally good views.

Deserving of my hard earned cash!!

Fidlers Green - Portaferry.
Lockins every night, fiddler, guitar, singing every night.
Great Marina, Entrance to Strangford which is just Heaven on Earth. Daft Eddy's also used to be brilliant but has gone off a bit in recent years.

You guys are makeing me...

Homesick!
As an ex-Pom I still miss the English pubs and beers. However, beers in Oz have improved vastly in the 20 years I have been living there. There used to be a lot of good pubs in Melbourne, however, a lot of them have now been 'bostro'd' for the yuppie set. As for pubs around the coast the only one I know that is accessible from the water is in Cowes - Philip Island, Victoria.
