Your last Pint?

[SemperEadem]

A really really good Guinness in Duffy’s last night.

Not had any alcohol since New Year’s Eve … not by design it just hasn’t happened …. Bristol City away should sort that out 

[westernpark]

Had one in the castle and then two tailed lion last night. On a Thursday night, both were empty(me and my partner were the only ones in both). Thankfully for both places she loves a savoury snack, albeit we had to top and tail last night, as the smell of her feet were more pleasant than scotch egg and a chicken samosa.

I went in the TTL last Tuesday and there was a few in there tbf. Was expecting it to be completely dead

Just done exactly the same. As well as a Guinness in Ronnie Roos. First time I’ve been to town on a weekday, non Xmas, for years I think. It’s so quiet. Pretty sad

Super Saturday in the 6 nations tomorrow and I fancy a rake of  guiness to see me through. 👍

Aye it’s getting worse Leicester in that respect. Not even a student scene now either by the looks of it.

To counter that, great crowd in Real Ale Classroom tonight, albeit rest of week the city is dying.

A few pints in the Lord Nelson in Southwold over the last few nights. I think Adnams is a pretty average brewery but any excellence is amplified in the setting that Southwold creates. Going to get a crate of Blackshore Stout to take home with me tomorrow, best pint on Keg over the last week.

I went uni In Leicester 16 years ago and we were out nearly every night somewhere. 

 

Society pub crawls over town on a Tuesday, clubs in town (most closed) 

 

We could afford it. I bet most students can't these days. 

 

I was in soar point most days, I can barely afford a beer in there now.

Yeah not wrong mate.

Going out in Paris made me realize how bad we've got it in big British cities.

 

In one of the most expensive cities in the world, you still have big groups of young people / students drinking and socialising in the centre until the early hours. London is a wasteland in this sense. It's probably better in provincial British towns.

Only place in England now where you can get a drink really after midnight is a casino or a ****ing Popworld.

Well jealous of all the photos and posts I've seen of post-match boozing on King Street in Bristol today.

[Wymsey]

Would recommend 'Mr. Fogg's' in London, as they have different locations for beer, cider and gin lovers.

Went to the Hawkstone brewery ( Clarksons place) today. Not a bad pint, but then again, nothing to shout about.

Fantastic city for boozing in. Bristol and Liverpool are the best 2nd tier cities for it imo. 

[Manini]

Afternoon all. Glorious day for a bank holiday pint or two. I’ll be off to the Bankers for a Lukas shortly.
 

Going slightly off topic for those who enjoy wine, tried Aldi’s knock off of Campo Viejo red last night. That’s a very good copy and about £1.50 cheaper than the real stuff.

 

Happy Easter to the best thread on FT.

Damn well glad I went home yesterday at full time with that weather and THAT result, although yes it is a fantastic party city. Motion is consistently in the top 50 best clubs in the world

Mountsorrel is pound for pound maybe the best place in the county for drinking. Wilfred Pinsent, Sorrel Fox, The Swan and (less so) The Waterisde are fantastic

That’s my take as well after yesterdays session, particularly for outright pubs 

[CosbehFox]

Yesterdays line up was 

 

Orchard Inn 

Wiper and True IPA + Somerset Session Cider 

 

Navy Volunteer 

2x Hazy Janey 

 

Kings Head (what a brilliant place this was)

good chemistry Bristol cider 

 

Stags and Hounds (eaten with a Fattso burger) 

half of a Thatchers 

 

Swan with Two Necks (right back street boozer but a line up of beer better than any pub in Leicester) 

Deya Steady Rolling Man 

 

Folk were sound as well

Sorrel is very good now isn’t it. I love walking down the canal in summer from Barrow and stopping off at the Navigation and Swan.
 

What’s the deal with Pinsent? Haven’t been there yet. Don’t really get it

It’s like a niche off license but they have a few taps and a fair amount of seating. It was busy for just before 17:00 on a Thursday - although it could have just been the bank holiday’s doing.

[Costock_Fox]

A couple of very heavy days and not really much of a clue of what I’ve drank other than one of the best stouts I’ve had. Think it was Whiplash brewery Slow Life.

 

Agree with the comments on Bristol, incredible for boozing.
