Dodgiest looking pub

[aleandhearty]

very disturbing thing about Island Inn is that it is ALLEGEDLY run by certain political party.. You know that guy off Question Time booed and heckled by audience recently (I refuse to name the party) is their leader.

In which case,if by some remote chance you end up in there, perhaps you could order several flaming sambuccas and forget to drink them before you left.

What parts of Glasgow you are speaking of?

Never been to Glasgow. Been to Edinburgh, great pubs around city especially pubs with old buildings. Royal Mile has cracking pubs all way to Edinburgh Castle.

Sorry, as inhabitant of Sarf Coast the full geography of Glasgow area is unknown to me, only know it was not city centre, more outskirts on way to Beith, used to pass the old [but demolished] Hillman Imp works on the way

Just checked on maps, probably was Govan, Paisley or Johnstone

I think your review was inspired by the pubs name. I had to try and get a look sadly the best view I could get didn't look too exciting.

Bing map view?

Have you visited The Heathway, Castle Bromwich?

http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/37663/

Make sure you put on riot gear before enter..

I actually have been there when my late grandparents lived nearby. The Heathway was very popular in 1960's and 1970's. One of best in area. My father watched England win World Cup in 1966 in this very pub

Then 1980's came pub started to falling down but still going strong.. just

1990 came and went..

Now we are in 2000's.. Hell's Angels, Chavs hanging about in front of pub asking "Yo brother.. spare a fag?" and druggies negotiating deal over drugs inside the pub.

Last time I saw was few windows boarded up, graffiti all over its wall and it is sad sight.

Soupy.. I challenge you buy pint in pub. Good luck mate...

[Soup Dragon]

Challenge accepted and already achieved, sonny jim - so that's a pint you owe me

I lived in Hodge Hill in Brum for years - went to Comet, Fox & Goose, Heathway, Raven, Hunter's Moon et al - my locals when i was 15, sorry, i mean 18. The first pub i ever went in was the Brookmeadow in Shard End.

I'll have a MILD please

Damn you...

Hey.. When was the LAST time you went to Heathway, by the way?

[Soup Dragon]

not been down there for years, mate

There are some very dodgy pubs in Birkenhead especially around the docks , they are boarded up and look closed , then you notice the door open and people at the bar drinking . A couple of Hells Angels got chucked out of the Swinging Arm and there mates came around to sort it out and got battered .
Locally the Cross Keys at Hadley is very dodgy , me and my son play the "guess which windows broken today " game when we drive past .

Then time to revisit your youth days...

Oh that Hunters Moon.. I always eat there on Sundays in early 1980's with my family.

Know Fox and Goose but not sure on others. Shard's End is dodgy place to drink!

My Uncle drinks in his local The Racecourse, Bromford Drive not far from Hunter's Moon. Have you been there? Never visited it myself
