Now its just another identikit yuppie bar.

If you're going to Blackhouse, then [url=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/32/32053/Mr_Foleys_Cask_Ale_House/LeedsFoleys[/url is just up from there.

MMMM Foley's.

The Town Hall Tavern is down the road from there too, cracking pint of landlord grommit.

Hop Bar near the Golf Bar is a cracking boozer!

I'd say Hop, awesome. Plus the pie and a pint is a great deal! Veritas is good, but its a bit too much like a delicatessen. How about The Grove south of the river?

Second this.

Grove
Midnight Bell
Cross Keys
Hop
Brewery Tap

Nice little crawl, which ends up nicely placed for a train/bus/taxi home.

Oh, and the pye-fever deal at the Hop is cracking value.

Does the Hop still have live music on Friday nights? Might be a bit on the noisy side for a quiet pint and a natter with the folks?

When I was last in it did have, yes. If you get a seat by the door it's quiter, but then it's colder. Suppose it depends on how much of an old rocker Wheels has got with him.

FWIH he is very much an old rocker (only met him twice) so the Hop may well be right up his street.

Cheers

Anyone been to the picturehouse carvery in town? (what used to be Edwards)

Thinking of going there on Fri pre match.

Heard only good things lad. Not been in meself, same company that own/run the wellington oop Redhall.

Aye. Well i aren't expecting much for £3.69 but will report back.

The Grove is a belting pub

The Owl in Rodley is a Camra pub. Nice food too.

There are a couple of real ale bars in Meanwood now. One's called 'East of Arcadia' and is where the old Becketts used to be. Accross the road is a bar called 'Alfreds' which is a small bar owned by the same person who owns North Bar in the city centre. Would recommend both of them.

Try again for the prices. Went in yesterday afternoon, Becks Vier was £3.20, i had Peroni at £3.60. My mate had a double vodka and coke which came in at a pricey £6.40

And i thought that the £3.50 a pint of strongbow in the Daisy was a tear-jerker.

Stay for just the 1 did you?

most of the old regulars have now left the Daisy for this reason,now its mainly punter's from closed down chav pub's

Sounds like the Devon

Quieter thesedays, far improved.

The picture house is superb.2.30 a pint and Carvery was spot on. also got 4 cask pumps, ones Leeds best

MMMMMMMM Leeds Best, I wish Asda still sold it in the bottles

Just for a bit of info for you Yorkies coming over on Saturday afternoon for the Wire game. The Tavern, on Church Street. 8 guest ales on at any one time ( the dearest one £2.30 a pint) all kept brilliantly, and it's only a 5-10 min walk to the ground.

Best real ale in Warrington by a distance
