Never had a problem there myself, but then I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in.  Heard there's a couple of ex-militants who used to drink in there and might still do.  Dunno if that has any bearing on things...

not sure why he is arsed about people ordering soft drinks? If you order a pint of coke its often almost the same price as a pint of ale. Plus a higher profit margin.

well yeah maybe.very odd. certainly nothing to do with profits.It costs less than 25 pence to make a pint of coke using the gas and syrup mixer. Thats huge profits considering a pint of coke sells for over 2 quid

Have drank in there for years.

Someone said "from Dom to Dave" - which just about sums it up.

I remember one afternoon on a Beatles weekend Monday, it was quiet in there and he was trying to kick some lad out who was with his mate.
It was a weird scene (and was freaking me out a little as I had severe shakes from a heavy weekend of binging) as the lad seemed genuinely
convinced he'd done bugger-all wrong. Dave took his pint off him in the end - but the other barman (the really nice lad who died not long ago (sorry,
I'm bad with names)) was looking on and clearly didn't seem to think Dave was in the right.

He's a good red though  :-X  :-\

He's a beaut of the highest order, have had a few pints in there over the years and he's always had a face on him like he's sucking a lemon.

I remember one of my mates asking him what lagers he had on draught, he pulled a face then.

End of the day there is far better pubs in that part of town anyway, so the place is best swerved.

Lets be honest here, Dave isn't exactly the most smiley of people is he?

Was in there yesterday, and he was his usual self.  Neither good or bad, just Dave.


Never had a problem with him myself, and he even kept a watch on my bag for me when I went the bog.

Any photos of this tosser? Someone should secretly film the OCD fuck when he kicks off. Go in and order water.

Looking at its location on google maps, I have been there once before about 3.5 years ago with a mate. He drank and as I don't drink, I had an orange juice.
If he was there, he said nothing, but he would have been given abuse back had he done.

Makes you wonder why he even sells it in there and prices it per glass, in the first place.



You could go out on a limb and be mad, and think he wants to sell it to make money from it. A radical concept I know.
