The Assembly Rooms, Epsom

How can you honestly not love this place? Okay, it gets rammed of a friday night, with standing room only all round, but the atmosphere is always fun, with plenty of totty about in their mini skirts and low cut tops!!!

They have a great range of ales, both real and lager, and the promo offering IPA at 99p a pint is simply a winner!!

The place is also very safe, with a security presence constantly patrolling the place, keeping the chavvy minority in place.

Good effort Tony and team, keep up the good work.

The Rifleman Inn, Epsom

I love this pub myself. It has got the feel of a real old school boozer, where the same faces sit in the same seats day in day out - that's you too Richard Baxter!!

Harry is indeed a leg end. He keeps the pub running smoothly, keeps the pipes clean and the beer fresh, and always helps out Lanes, by employing some former Lanes totty behind the bar - good work!!

If you are expecting a gastro pub, or sanitised bar, then epsom has plenty of other places you'll be welcome. However, if you want a good pint, in honest, friendly company, then the Rifleman (or just simply 'Harry's' is your place!!)

Elements, Epsom

Hi There, I'm Ollie, a resident of Epsom for 27 years now!!

I guess I'm middle class but either way, no one I socialise with goes to Chicago's. The place is aweful, looks rough, stinks of booze, piss and sick, and costs an arm and a leg. As an indie kid at heart, I would rather head out to Brixton or Clapham on a night out - rather LESS chance of getting beaten up there methinks!!

In the case of Epsom as a whole, I've just come back after living for a year in Sheffield, and before that was living in South London, so haven't lived at 'home' for around 3 or 4 years now - the place is improving. There are more diverse bars here now, plus more places suitable for people in their late twenties / early thirties (like what I am lol!!)

As for the 'ladies' if you like completely fat, ugly, common slappers then this will do you a treat. I have a higher standard I'm afraid (private education did me the world of good!!!)

Cheers, OT.
