TGI Fridays & La Taska, Do they belong on this site

[Al 10000]

There are 10 TGI Fridays on this site all photographed (thats no surprise) and only 1 review which says not really a pub but a restaurant.

There are 39 La Taska's on this site all photographed (well that shocked me),there are 9 reviews 7 saying this is a restaurant and not a pub and 2 proper reviews.

Do these in my opinion restaurants belong on a pub site.

You forgot the Cafes Rouge, my particular bete noir.

The subject has been covered a few times and I think the verdict was "if someone thinks it should be on the site and especially if it's been photographed and /or commented on then it can stay, people usually know full well what TGI, La Tasca and CR are like and if there's a review it will be even clearer"

An absolute correct response, I totally agree, but still struggle to understand why anyone would want to add them in the first place.

On the log in page there's a grey box with these words: Pubs Galore is the comprehensive listing site for pubs & pub lovers of all persuasions. (Emphasis added.)

'ere we go again, deja vu anyone?

Apart from site name and pedantry I can see no reason why somewhere that sells beer cannot also sell food as it's main income source, and be handy for a drink while your mother in law has a cup of tea & a bite to eat in comfortable surroundings

As SH has emboldened, of "all persuasions", to me this means not just Camra members or folk with beards, socks & sandals who must have a dimpled pint pot with a handle

well said
On a trip to London last week i visited a number of bar/restaurants because they happened to be in good locations i.e. nice view of a tourist attraction or i needed a pit stop. It was surprisingly enjoyable to have a drink in somewhat genteel surroundings . Different drinking establishments for different occasions.

I like proper pubs but i dont have a beard am not a member of Camra and never wear socks & sandals and i dont like drinking out of a dimpled pint pot,just the same as not everbody up north wears a flat cap and keeps whippets.
I do drink in bars and have enjoyed drinking in Slug and lettuces i have also been in Revolutions,but i think La Taska's,TGI Fridays and Cafe Rouges are a bit to far towards being a restaurant that serves a token beer.

I noticed that none of these chains have been reviewed by yourself or Hondo,if they are that good i would have thought you would have left a review saying so.

Remember to be civil everyone and remember that sometimes people will read the written word with a different emphasis to how you thought you'd typed it

I like proper pubs ,don't have a beard but am often stubbly,not a current member of Camra but have been, do wear socks but never with sandles,not keen on dimpled mugs but a glass is a glass ,don't live up north and haven't got a flat cap or Whippet but was in the Holborn Whippet yesterday and have never been in any of the above mentioned chains/bars or ever likely to,so live and let live,I just don't understand the allure of these places,maybe I'm missing something.

It doesn't matter if a drinking establishment is good, bad or indifferent , reviewed, not reviewed, photographed, not photographed, rated or not rated if it meets the criteria for being on the site then it merits being listed and correctly located on the map. I am sure many people use this site without actually contributing but all traffic to the site must be good and i assume help with advertising revenue.
