TLW getting a mention. They’ve obviously read this thread. 
 

The Penny Farthing wasn’t rough, it was just really, really fucking shit, and that’s what was great about it. 

It’s a rehash, that Eagle and child quote was done about 15 years ago and in the early pages of this thread

Echo list of six of the best. I've only ever been in two of them, I think. I don't recall the Belgrave being that bad, to be honest: just ordinarily shit, rather than properly rough.

I was in a pub last Thursday night and someone had blown up one of the shitters. It must have been a  cherry bomb or something but imagine someone putting a hand grenade down a toilet on a road runner cartoon, that's genuinely what it looked like.

 

Superb.

Yeah here is an article from 2013 quoting Vladi's and Anny Road's posts on here...

No longer with us, but the Eagle and Child in Page Moss takes some beating. I was in there once and they had a Mouse Racing track set up with everyone betting on these mice. It was all going well until some nutcase tried to eat all the mice for a bet and all hell broke loose.

I never went in there much but apparantly that was just a normal night.

Yeah defo a rough alehouse. Saw a fight kick off there over a leg of lamb raffle and the barman ended up running along the bar hitting people over the head with the prize.

Me and a flatmate from uni went for a pint at a gaybar because we'd heard it had a reputation for being rough so we pretended to go as a couple. That was in Derby, can't remember the street.  Turns out it was just a load of gay fellas drinking. 

Or a load of straight fellas pretending to be gay. 

Did you manage to pull it off?............. as it were....

I was at a funeral yesterday, wake was in the Harlech Castle on County Road. (Macca and Robbie were there) Couldn't believe how cheap a round was. Bought a Guinness, a cider, a large JD and Coke, a can of coke and a White Wine. 14 pound something. Couldn't believe it. Roughest arse part of Liverpool but what a pub. Also had an extremely gay glass collector wearing a skimpy crop top and nobody batted an eyelid even the rough arse locals. Progression is happening.

The Star Bar in Glasgow is a fucking dump.  They still do 3 courses for £4 with a soup starter, a choice of Mac & cheese, pie and chips or fish and chips and dessert consists of Rice pudding and tinned fruit or ice cream and tinned fruit.

 

The food is about £3.50 to expensive, the regulars are fucking weird and it stinks of piss.

It's hardly rough though.

 

Plenty rough boozers in Glagow although like most cities, a lot of the classics are gone.

Never been in despite being a local, but not surprised in the slightest given its reputation!

 

Edit - I got twatted over the head with a pool cue when I was 16/17 in the Queens, on Knowsley Road though. Great times!
