Show us Your Local, eh?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I say "mine".
They even have a g*ff night there. One of the DJs even heard my attempts at singing in a band in 1989. But he's at good health again.
The other one has steam coming out of his ear.
Our hometown is known for its chemical industry.

I think it's a listed building so it's possible that it was a Chapel in a past life :lol:

It's the only place around that does Snake Bite & Black (well). You'd think it were a goth pub if it weren't for the dodgy music and influx of chavs on a Friday night :lol:

Perhaps not ... ? It looks 8) anyway ...

"Chavs"? - :roll:

Enjoy your 'Snakebites' @RZ! - 'Anything Goes' in Llangunllo, so bring your favourite tipple anytime you feel like it?! I too enjoy this, but have to go easy on the 'juice/sherbets' - Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde is a distinct 'side effect' ... :urff:

living in the city centre we have quite a few "locals" to choose from :lol:

if we're out & about, we can usually be found in one of these places (in order of likelihood)

the salisbury (world's best jukebox!)
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester

grand central
a stinky, metal/heavy rock pub with dreadful jukebox - but lots of our mates go there :roll:
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester

the retro bar
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester

temple bar
great little bar in a former public toilet :lol:
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester

the kro bar & kro 2
kro 1 is opposite the manc academy and very popular as a pre-gig drinking hole. kro 2 is next to the bbc
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... Manchester

tbh, anyone who has been to a gig in manchester will likely have been in one of those beforehand :D

Not really a local (in fact I don't believe that I've ever been in either :lol: ) but it was amusing to spot these two side-by-side a while back. Somebody certainly has a sense of humour.

Over the road is the "Brazen Heid" but it's a very unsavoury place, being popular with the inhabitants of the nearby high rise flats....

Image

Image

"Sharky's" is better as they have a hall for live bands and a student crowd as the Nautical College is just round the corner, but is still popular with the inhabitants of the nearby high rise flats....

Image

And my favourite is "West" at the old Templeton Carpet Factory on Glasgow Green - http://www.westbeer.com/

The last piccie looks nice in an Artwank way :D

I reckon this one must still be my fave in town:

Image

The absinth bar is nice too, mostly because of the outstanding drinks and nice architecture. People-wise it's a bit hit and miss
