Decent bar but the staff are extremely unfriendly. Especially to people who do not have London accents !

Nice, relaxed pub, which is one of my local drinking stops in North London.

I was in the Dublin Castle a few weeks ago and spoke to the lovely Czech barmaid for a while. Decent prices between 11am - 6pm, and one of my fave London boozers.

Have not been in for years. Is is still open ?
Can anybody remember what is was called before The Den ? Made my first visit there back in 1989, but I cannot recall the name ?

I was back in The Coronet recently, and as usual, I had a good time.

I always pay a visit to Thw Coronet when I am down in London from Darlington. My favourite boozer in the capital, thanks to the cheap prices and friendly atmosphere.
I must get back down soon.

Another old local of Buster Bloodvessel and his band, Bad Manners. The group downed many beers in this establishment in the late 80's.

The Anchor & Hope was quite a famous boozer in the late 80's. Pop star Buster Bloodvessel used to live nearby on Spring Hill, and it was a local watering hole for him and his band, Bad Manners.
Those way the days when he had a 50 ft barge in his back garden !, which he used as an office and as a recording studio.
Buster is a local legend, & the days of his visits to the Anchor & Hope have gone down in local folklore.

The Torrington, North Finchley
I enjoyed an afternoon drinking session in The Torrington one Saturday , four years ago . I am sad to hear that it's now closed .

Whatever happened to the Sir George Robey ?

My favourite drinking hole in London . Cheap and friendly , and worth the travel from Darlington via Kings Cross .

Where you will be greeted with a frown and told that only ' locals ' are served .
Stay in the Dalesman , and grab yourself a mature housewife for the night !

The only time that I have ever visited The Britannia , was years ago with my girlfriend . I was told that they only served ' locals ' , so I asked the landlord on how I become a local and he looked mesmerised and asked us both to leave or he would call the Police ! ( True ) .
If you ever decide to visit this scruffy , small and unpleasant watering hole , then please wear a t - shirt that reads , ' LOCAL ' .

Speak for yourself , Mr Anonymous . I am 33 years old and run my own business , but I like to drink in the Boot & Shoe . ( :

Number 22 Alehouse and Canteen, Darlington
In the Boot & Shoe , you are made to feel welcome , unlike No.22 , where you are only served with a smile on the merit of how much your watch cost .

The hip place to be , if you enjoy a laugh and not a frown from the barstaff .

Number 22 Alehouse and Canteen, Darlington
A pub that is very popular with middle aged poseurs and old couples , who seem to have nothing else better to do than drink in No.22 and talk about their holidays in Egypt , whilst staring at their reflections in the mirrors .

The Nags Head is an old Darlington drinker's favourite , offering fine beers with a smile . Managed by experienced landlord Frank Bowman , this watering hole is the ideal place for an afternoon refreshment or a night out with your partner of friends .

The Quaker Coffee House, Darlington
A pub popular with real ale drinkers , rock enthusiasts and goths . An extremely small pub , which can be quite uncomfortable for the visitor .
3 Mar 2006 14:29
Please note that this is very much a regulars pub and not one of the most inviting places , especially if you are a young male with a group of friends enjoying a night out .
This pub is popular with off duty police officers ( from the main Police Station nearby ) and visitors to the Civic Theatre , which is situated just over the road .
For a more relaxed atmosphere and welcome , walk straight passed this pub in to the town centre , and visit the Nags Head on Tubwell Row ( before you reach the Town Clock ) .

The Tanners Hall is a very popular pub , and it serves cheap beer and lager , along with a number of guest ales .
It is a spaceous dwelling , with its drinkers ranging from families to old couples and youngsters to avid drinkers . The pub is very popular at weekends , and also during the week with day time regulars and workers .

The Highland Laddie, Darlington
Good boozer is the Laddie. Had a few memorable evenings in in this establishment over the years. A Camerons pub.
