Scream pub in an old cinema? 

 

Used to be a cracking little boozer around the corner from there - lass o gowrie.

 

Sure there was another place on grosvenor srreet oppo the footage but i cant remember its name.

That's the one, the one on Grosvenor Street was called Pub/Zoo when I was there, now it's called Flour and Flagon

Hard to say. Maybe the 1852 in Wigston or the lounge on aylestone road

I’m in the blackbird now @Finneganthe lack of self awareness astounds me. Middle aged men with theirs tops off amongst other things

Yep. Place I grew up in as it were. Also the workshouse and fan club 

Helsinki stairs were deadly. Amazed nobody died going to the toilet

I've moved now fortunately! 

 

But this doesn't surprise me

 

The Anstey Bar and Grill still open over the road?

Workhouse!  The drug den of central Leicester…. My mate worked there…. Entirely dodgy!

Thinking about it it's probably mostly Sheffield as I was there at uni. Royal Standard, Dev Cat, Red Deer probably. Then maybe Harp & John Russell in London making up the top 5. Actually the Harp is almost certainly no. 1 considering a pint there now costs nearly three times more than pints when I was in Shef. 

The Harp on Chandos Place? That was a regular haunt when I was despatch riding in London - full of bikers because the HQ was about 50 yards away. That and the Chandos itself, which last time I visited was terrible.
