Post a pic of your local

Did this about four years ago but have moved now so it's a revised thread - thats new

Really pleased with my new local - The Ings - pic below. Proper traditional pub that is for drinkers only. Doesn't do food (peanuts at best) and doesn't let kids in - not many places like that left these days thats for sure. Sort of place you can go in on your own no problem and just have a beer.

Only thing missing is a pool table mind

The other pub nearby is geared towards eaters only and doesn't seem keen on having people who just drink in - how shite is that.

VC- from the outside that looks like a proper saloon! Looks stunning inside.

I'm about to buy my local and turn it into a house to live in. I can finally say I live in a pub! (all be it we won't sell beer and stuff because I'll live in it)

In Plymouth.

I'll try see if I can get some of the plans up. Its absolutely huge!

The chap who bought it before us has unfortunatley taken the bar out, which is a shame, but it still has the cellar which will eventually become my games room/ gym!

Inside an inland Aussie pub.

Note the VB signs thats the beer for here, not Fosters.

likewise Andre a lot of our places are well modern now and 'wanky' bars. give me the low ceilings and fires anyday.

Was just reading abut how the Ings managed to stay a 100% wet pub - more should give it a go though guess difficult in these times.

Hopefully will one day visit an ozzie pub

Good thread, Mark. I'll post a picture of my local watering hole sometime soon.

I read an article in the paper over here in the states that the traditional English pub is a dieing breed. That's a shame. When I spent a summer studying in Stratford Upon Avon, the pubs were the best part.
