The Masque Haunt, Old Street

I work around the corner from here, I pass it every day.

Old men all-day drinking frequent here every single day. One of them has had the same jumper on everytime I've seen him for a year!

If you want a cheap pint then pop in but prepare to be depressed in the atmos.

The Temple, Manchester

Far too small (used to be a toilet - literally), the music is too loud to have a chat.

The worst thing about this place is the drinking up time. They will sell you a drink one minute before they close and when they close they hassle you to drink up almost immediately. I hate that! I will never go back.

The Frog and Parrot, Sheffield

This pub has always been popular since I've known about it but I've never been able to work out why.

I think it's because the jukebox is mainly indie so it appeals to indie kids and musos but I don't think a good jukebox alone makes a good pub.

My main problem with it is that it's very open on a main road, so you get a lot of drunken idiots finding it and filling it and it isn't that big.

It's not a bad pub really, it's good for people watching because the street outside has a steady flow of people and the whole front is window. Nothing special in my opinion, I wouldn't choose to go there, there are better bars in the area.
