It's quite sad to see Weatherspoons pubs in this thread
Agree completely, Weatherspoons pubs are lifeless, soulless hell holes. The Hush in Bath was my favourite bar/club until it was sold to fucking Po Na Na |

The Hush back in my day was The Hub, a great club where I saw the likes of Oakenfold and Digweed on the karanga thursday club nights, The fall, Stereolab and even Bill Baileys early incarnation as part of the comedy duo the rubber bishops. I wish Bath had something as good as that now. |

Hasn;t left Devizes. Best pub not mentioned so far is the Crown Inn in Lechlade, Cracking boozer and home to the Halfpenny brewery and also Red Lion in Cricklade deserves a shout! |

having had a think i've come up with these few.
Fox Inn - this was my local in Middle Barton, Oxon. Could always go down and know someone to sit with for a chat and a beer. lockins and Aunt Sally on a Thursday was just quality. Ace open fire in the winter with a nice homely cottage feel about the place.
Blue Boar - Chipping Norton - Again for the same reasons above (apart from the Aunt Sally). Full of old school friends and now i've moved away i appreciate it more and enjoy going back there for a beer.
Tap & Spyle - Birmingham. Proper old school pub. Saw Dust on the floor, rickety wooden chairs, local drunks dotted around but a fantastic atmosphere.
Bell & Bear - Old Hill - nice proper black country pub complete with affect of subsidence. Excellent beer garden with picturesque views of the clent hills and surrounding areas.
Bull & Bladder - Brierley Hill - A quite famous Bathams pub on the Delph Run. again proper old school black country pub with excellent beers on tap from their own brewery.

My local.....a Wetherspoons, has a fantastic landlord and he keeps his beers well and there is always at least 5 guest beers, and I have never ever had a cold meal there. |

It's probably my favourite place in bath. Po's is crap and everywhere else is full of pretensious knobs. It might not be as good as in days of yore, but I like it. They still do the new upcoming bands and stuff, had mumford & sons before they 'made it'. And it's right below the porter, which is awwwwwwwwsome
