Here name isnt Laura by any chance is it?

cant remember, rings a bell though.

[anfieldpurch]

I hear the old Punch and Judy between Lime st and the Adelphi burnt down last night. Insurance job?

Only ever walked past it and it looked kinda vile to be honest.

Yeah that sounds like Laura, don't know her that well though. I know blonde Gemma and Claire. Claire's fucking gorgeous, reminds me of that Rebecca Ferguson off the X-Factor.

[Chronic]

Whats your problem with "gobshite preppy students" (don't really know what that means) and "wools"? Out of interest like?

If you don't like the clientèle, don't fucking go there, I'm sure the place would be better off without you anyway.

Can't stand wools and students who wear loafers and ripped jeans and have hair over their eyes.

You seem to take offense at this for some reason, are you 1 of them ?

Oh and i'll go there again 1 more time to see if this was a 1 off or if the place is a meeting point of gobshites in lumberjack shirts and blag accents, if that's alright with you like mate, wouldn't wanna go offending you any more than i already have now would i ?

Ok mate, I'll tell Laura you love her.

I think his point is more along the lines of as long as someone is not ruining your night out then what does it matter?  And if someone ruins your night out by having the wrong shirt on then you probably need to take a look at yourself.

Wouldn't ruin my night in any way and i never said it would, i just choose not to surround myself with people who i dislike or have nothing in common with (like Wools, Students or Hipsters), the same way they probably would feel a bit uncomfortable coming into a boozer full of scousers watching the footy and chatting shit, it's no big deal.

[Veinticinco de Mayo]

What if someone's a hip scouse student who likes the footy and chats shit?


One day you are going to run out of labels for people you don't like, then what will happen?

Everyone has their own preferences.

Are you honestly telling me you have never avoided a bar based on the bars main clientele ?

As i say it's not a big deal, everyone does it whether consciously or sub consciously, it's the way the bar/pub industry works, you stick to the ones you like most and feel more at ease with

The only things that really make me avoid a bar are prices, shit ale, shit music or threatening/rude punters.  That tends to rule most of them out anyway without adding additional criteria

[Cesar]

I might a lad a couple of weeks back, a mate of a mate, who had skinny brown cords on, a cravat, thick rimmed glasses and a floppy fringe and a funny accent. My first thought was "twat". Then I spoke to him and he turned out he was sound. I learned a long time ago to not judge a book by its cover, its caught me out too many times.

[Big Red Richie]

I don't think Judy's going to be Punching her weight anymore.

They certainly won't be putting any more arson seats.             Yeah. I'm here all week, ba-bum-tish.


Last year -- Today.

I like how in the hard copy of the Echo today part of the type says (I paraphrase) "The Echo called the pub today but the phone went unanswered"

no shit sherlocks...

You say "are you one of them" as if to poke fun at me? As if I'd be embarrassed by being a "wool" or a student? I'm not a wool no, I've been living in Liverpool all my life (thats 2 years longer than you) and don't consider myself a hipster, or a student (unfortunately not anymore) and I don't own any lumberjack shirts, or ripped jeans, nor is my hair in my face.

I'd guess that I dress and act a bit differently from you though, thank god, and I'd feel much more at home with a load of gobshite hipster wool students with blag accents than with a load of scouse morons who harbour irrational dislikes for people just because they're different.

You want to open your mind mate and let a little bit of the world in, Liverpool isn't the centre of the universe and scousers aren't the only people worthy of your time. These "gobshites" bring a great deal into this city and contribute a lot.

[WhoHe]

Some right touchy fuckers on here, we are all so nice and liberal aren't we. When I was a student I found them a pain in the arse and still find them a pain in the arse now - so what !
Think I need to hug a tree or something.

[GiorgosCarraGoonies]

It's my birthday today so me and the girlfriend are going for a feed and then going for a slap of drink.  I think we might try that Bier Keller place.  Anyone know of any other pubs in town that do a good range of German or other imported beers?  (The Fly in the Loaf and the Ship and Mitre aside)

[Veinticinco de Mayo]

Bier deffo have a few.  Leaf on Bold Street do some.  Shipping Forecast and Mello Mello, both on Stanley St (sorta) have some too.

Ah yes, I forgot about the Shipping Forecast.

Cheers, I'll check the others out.

Go to Salt Dog Slims, opposite the blue angel, they do steins on tap and have a lot of bottled german beers, plus cocktails for the ladies.

Been meaning to go there, planned to go one Sunday after getting lunch in Pogues but it seemed to be closed.

Cheers to you too, mate.

Bloody hell mate calm down.

They are not my kind of people and i dislike being around them it is as simple as that and completely my choice, the same way i don't drink around the gay part of town as that is also not my scene, why are you getting offended on their behalf and carrying this on like it actually matters ?

It's the same way i would walk into a boozer full of scallys, it'd be because that's not my scene or type of gaff.

[And Could He Play]

Yeah that sounds like Laura, don't know her that well though. I know blonde Gemma and Claire. Claire's fucking gorgeous, reminds me of that Rebecca Ferguson off the X-Factor.

first time i had ever been ,cant remember their names, was decent like.

Might be a bit late but hasn't the Bier Keller shut down?
The Dispensary is good (opposite the old Rapid hardware)

[GiorgosCarraGoonies]

Aye, walked up to it yesterday evening and it was shut 

Hadn't been up that part of the town in a while.

I'll check The Dispensary out.  I was in Bier for the first time last night, quite liked it.

[ThepepeReina]

Im a scouser from huyton who goes the games, and was a student until recently, and have longer than average hair. come at me

Yeah Stewy how can you get wound up by Mr "Live and Let Live" Chronic just because he prefers some scenes over us, I mean it's not as if he said anything like this:

The cons are that it is literally filled with gobshite preppy students and wools in knitted cardigans and loafers (i despise these people)

is it?  So cool your loafers Stewy. 

Im a scouser from huyton who goes the games, and was a student until recently, and have longer than average hair. come at me 

And you're not helping, you are just going to confuse Chronic, he'll not know whether to despise you or not

Anyway back to the bars people...

[macca007]

Another quality little bar especially for the good weather is an outdoor bar just opened across from cube or whatever its called now.  Has some decent ales on and good atmosphere.  Think its only opened a week ago.  Imagine an outdoor shipping forecast.

[And Could He Play]

whats with all the people on mathew street getting you into bars, felt like i was on holiday annoying twats.

Makes you cringe does it not ?

Apart form the odd pint in The White Star , generally keep well away from Mathew Street but pass thorugh sometimes to other parts of town .

Does anyone actually go into any of these pubs because some little scrote tells you it's boss ?

[And Could He Play]

Reforms lost its license as well now.

[coct3au]

In Bier recently and it was utterly empty, and half the beer was off. Hope it was just a low-key night and it's not in trouble or owt...

I was in last Friday and it was rammed.  Probably just has the odd quiet night.

Me too a much missed part of a night out for me. It went downhill after they did the place up and got rid of the jukebox for a DJ playing loud shit music (don't try and fix what isn't broken). They tried to make the place something it wasn't, it was an alternative from all the loud clubs where you could actually have a conversation and pick some tunes on the jukebox to enjoy in the background. The only place that comes close these days is MelloMello except it doesn't have a jukebox.

Agree with all that. Still can't believe what happened to it.

Was in Bier in Lark Lane on Monday and it was pretty dead when others on the lane where pretty full, not really surprised given the prices they charge. Think its the sort of place you call in for one or two (especially when its not your round  ) rather than spend a night/few hours in.

[And Could He Play]

theres no lie, big clubs anymore is there? like The State, 051, Buzz.

[And Could He Play]

anyone ever bought one of these?
