Been in 3Originally Posted by NickDavies
Higher Buck, Waddington, Lancashire
The Cholmondeley Arms, Malpas, Cheshire
The Boat, Erbistock, near Wrexham
Actully had Sunday lunch in two of them
The Cholmondeley, just once
The Boat, many times. Usually on a sunny day, eating on the banks of the River Dee, reading my Grauniad (if they had no Beanos!)
Five of those
Nos 2, 5, 7, 10 and 17.

Surprised to find that I've been in 8. It helps if you've been to Belfast|!
Still disagree with several though!

A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Just three for me 1,5 and 13. Rather random list,maybe Belfast is worth a visit.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
2, 7, 10, 17 and 20 for me.
Skehan's makes yet another list I see.
"Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter"
Only definite no 6,possible no 17. I've not been to Edinburgh,Belfast or Cardiff, and tend to avoid large cities.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
7 I think. And while I know you have to take such things with a very large pinch of salt, even on the basic premise of "excellent drink, food and atmosphere" I am pretty sure several shouldn't be on there.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Three for me:
2 - gone to the dogs and temporarily lost its licence some weeks back due the noise in what was once a charming backstreet locals' pub.
7 - a pretty interior, but not a great pub experience; the Pineapple and Southampton Arms are a short walk.
17 - poseurs paradise.
I don't know what sort of criteria are used to decide what make the list, coin tossing?
Judging from their website, this place seems to be some sort of round-the-clock entertainment hub for only the most hardened craic addicts.
No major problems there.
