I went on my pub crawl around Shrewsbury with my father-in-law yesterday. We managed 7 pubs in total. But they were not necessarily the 7 I wanted to hit.
The Admiral Benbow, Loggerheads and Three Fishes were all shut. The Benbow just doesn't open in the afternoon, the Three Fishes shut at 3 o'clock, just as we arrived, so no beer and the Loggerheads is re-opening today under new management.
So, we did the Nag's Head (good pub), Coach and Horses (good pub), the Wheatsheaf (good beer selection - but a foody place rather than a pub), the Old Post Office (naff), the big Wetherspoons by the river (naff and freezing cold!) the Salopian Bar (excellent!) and the Armoury, where we ate (excellent! Foody, but that was what we wanted at that moment).
Because I was getting into more of a befuddled fog as the day went on, I will not write reviews, but will after another visit in the future.
My question is, has anyone had a planned pub crawl go so wrong?
