The Dispensary pub (Under new ownership)
« on: November 11, 2013, 09:18:24 pm »
Word of warning for anyone out there. Stay clear of the Dispensary in town

One of my mates has just come back from that place after being followed into the ladies toilets by the male landlord and was verbally attacked and intimidated for not 'drinking quick enough amd ordering a soft drink' before being thrown out with her mates.

She has reported the guy to the police for threatening behaviour.

Just in case people think its a one off ill point you in the direction of their trip advisor page

At least the Roscoe has a friendly atmosphere.

I've always liked the Dispensary and have been drinking in there for years. I wonder if the landlord has got the hump with the odd cheapskate hogging a pint in there for 90 minutes and completely lost the plot.

Went in for one with a mate on a Friday afternoon about 3 months ago, he was pacing up and down, growling at the girl behind the bar, and generally being billy big bollocks.

So you think a man cornering a woman alone in the womens toilets then threatening and intimidating her shouldn't be reported?

You also believe that his behaviour is acceptable?

Wow, sounds like a right c*nt.  Following women into the toilets?  That's disgraceful.

Never go in there but by the sounds of it (I normally only drink soft drinks, cider at a push and usually only one) I wouldn't want to.

Can't disagree that he sounds a right knob but reporting it to the police ? That nasty man shouted and swore at me, tell him where to go (I am assuming nobody felt inclined to deck him) and move on, life is to short to let pricks like him annoy or upset you.

Spoke to a mate of mine who is a regular there , didn't mention this just asked what the manager is like , his reply was " a fucking knob , whose mouth opens before his brain engages , but hes very Fastidious over his ale " . Once I told him about the reports he said he had seen all sorts in there .

Staff being shouted and bullied , regulars being barred and dave himself confronting a crowd of ten fellas cos one had dropped his pint on the floor . Said he's had teeth knocked out but he just can't help himself

Infact I did have an issue about six years on Christmas Eve.

The place was rammed and the manager was behind the bar and the staff couldn't cope at all and he was stressed out. Being a regular at the time I asked could I lend a hand for a couple of minutes , I was being genuine to but he got the hump so I told him to he needs to relax a little.

He then told me to fuck off and get out.   So I told him to fuck off and walked out.    :D

I swerved the gaff for a couple of months but next time I was in there he came over and shook me hand , gave us a pint on the house.

We laughed at what happend.
