... do you go in by yourself...?

What for? All I said was there was nothing wrong with your brain cells!

I've never been in the clarendon but the causeway is rubbish. It night be ok for a quick pint on a sunday afternoon but thats about it.
Vibes and north star on the marina are also decent.
I don't go out on my own as its not really the done thing is it?

I'm sure my time will come when places like vibes are a bit too much for me, but at the moment the places i mentioned are about the best there is.

Hey Jonny. We must be the only young 'uns on here.

Is 30+ young?

If so then we both are Tiggsy.

If not then neither of us are!

Well, I suppose when you're about 15 people who are 21 seem very old, but as you get older and grow up you realise that age is just a number. Therefore, I don't think people in there 30's are old. Most of my mates and people who I go out drinking with and even people who I date are in there 30's, hitting on 40.
So, no, in answer to your question John.

The stuff that i drink tastes the same everywhere. Vodka and fresh orange doesn't vary much in taste i find. Vibes also do blanc 1664 which is quite nice.
I go to places for atmosphere , a laugh and i'm single so the chance of a quick jump is also appealing.
Adg . You surely don't go to your pubs because they do a good pint..?

But I already told you that on page 2

Woohoo - I'm still young

Sorry, I thought you were talking about, The Clansman

That's OK. As long as you weren't just ignoring me.......

Ah but do you accept 'fresh' orange juice made from concentrate?? Or do you insist on a piece of fruit being squeezed??

One has to settle for orange juice from a carton. I think squeezed oranges is going a bit too far for most establishments in this town.

Oi Oi OI I am still the right side of 30 just



Surely that is one of the main reasons to go into a pub

The Causeway is a great pub with one of the best pints of Strongarm I have ever had

rmemeber i had a great pint of strongarm in liverpool of all places a pub called the ship had its as a guest ale for a month i annoyed my mates ensisting we went there, it was a great pub oldy worldy and loads of old blokes talking crap, i think i am getting old before my time as my mates and me prefair to go out for a drink to a pub where we can have a natter and cheap booze usually the king johns or the warrior rather than the usual crap of bar paris and yates, although some fit birds in there, the clarendon is and ok pub but we always end up in jax anyway, why isnt there a good place to go after the pub in hartlepool as jax is now infected with loads of idiots

The last time I went to Jaxs I bumped into my friend niece. She looked at me and said 'God, you must be the oldest person in here' Needless to say, I haven't been back!!

there is some tasty birds in there however most of them are in the 17-19 age group

Dear God, my daughter's just coming up to that age group and she's only a bairn. Don't tell me she's about to fall prey to dirty old men already....

Photo please and we'll tell you.

No. Just take the honourable line for once......

i am only 24 so not really an old man

a dirty young man then?

only if she has a nuns outfit eh corny

Tell me this is a piss take ..........please?

It's certainly where I gave up Snowy.

If you can't demand that your orange juice comes from an orange it's time we installed Orange Cams in these places and passed a raft of legislation. Come the revolution, these carton pouring bastads ((c)RTG) 'll be first up against the wall.

Are you not a voddy + fresh orange drinker Mr Snowy? You should try it. You'll struggle to even find a pub that serves it with 'Juice with bits in' but as long as it's chilled you should have no complaints.....

Good...

White House- pretty decent pub, not a bad atmosphere, semi ok music, you don't feel like you're going to get your head kicked in when you look at someone, barmiads are shaggable, food is very nice. Whats the problem?

Woodcutter- OK pub, hasn't overly impressed me the couple of times I've been in there but I'd use it if it was my local

Vibes- very good bar. A great place to take people who are visitng the town.

Causeway- it's a good pub if you're 87 years old but otherwise it's not my cup of tea

oh and drinking orange juice and vodka is camp as fuck! Give your head a shake!

For me though, the best pub in town is Changes even if its not as good as the Spot

How is it camp as phuq? Sometimes I don't want to fill myself with lager and I recover a lot better the next day when i drink shorts.....

You are correct about all the pubs though TPP, I think that he people view pubs depends purely on your age. I don't know you but I would guess that you are also in your mid 20's from what you have said......?

I agree with you Tax Payer on all points apart from one. I like going in Changes, but not I wouldn't have it down as my favourite. At least the larger has improved, it was sh!te when it was The Spot.

I am only late 20s but I think the Causeway is a great pub and it has been my local for years, I have never really been into the shitty wine bars like Yates and that even when I was 18, that is why I probably prefer Rosie O Gradys to Vibes whenever I am on the Marina

At least have vodka and coke and you can then tell people you're on JD and coke!

Early 20's I like to call myself!

Never been in that Rosie O Gradys

Yates is the only bar I like up 'the top end' on a Saturday night.

What the f*ck has happened to Loons, Bar Paris and Time & Tide?!

Is that the Irish Bar? I've only been in there once and I really liked it. They do a nice pint of Guiness too.

That is the one Miss Tigga

I can see where you're coming from with regards to The Causeway and old pubs and stuff.

You do get used to and like your local pubs.

The Station in Seaton had a bad reputation a while back, but I go in there quite often and really like it. I sometimes go in with my Dad, or I regularly go in on my own and know pretty much everyone in there.

Have you ever had Guinness in a Dublin bar, Tigga? It's like liquid silk...probably the best drink I've ever had

Yeah, I've been to the Guiness Brewery twice. The last time I went I tried a different blend. It was called 'Guiness North Star'. Haven't seen it over here yet, but it was loverly. It was 7.5% too!

The Causeway is a great pub with great beer Mr Fens, but i think they're starting to take the piss now with the prices!

They started taking the piss with the prices a few years ago. Beer goes up 1p in the budget, beer goes up 10p in the Causeway. But it is an excellent pint though
