just an out of season bit of fun.....
are you blessed with a diamond of a boozer...great food, cheap drink, great atmosphere, country pub...that makes you a regular.
or tarnished with an absolute shitehole....that you never go near, unless its the only one for miles.
mine is the princess vic, uxbridge road, food a la carte, local for match days,
happy hour monday to friday , two for one...morretti the favourite, cant think what the other two are though.......5pm to 7pm.
prices are top end of the average pub.

Nope, been shut for years, they still haven't finished the flats there though.
The Black Horse in Greenford has been shut for 18 months now, it still hurts when I pass by.
If my crypto investments come in I will become the new owner, and will bar anyone who's jib I do not care for. Just like it used to be.
It will also be renamed as 'Brian Williams beard'. | | | |

It’s got a reputation shall we say . As has the Tudor near bushy mill lane.
Thinking about. Watford really is a wasteland for public houses.
Having said that Rickmansworth and St Albans have always had decent pubs. | | | |

You may remember Sweeneys in Ruislip high street . Had my stag do there about twenty years ago .
Cracking pub but probably not there anymore . | | | |

My local pub is the “Lord Stanley Hotel” - the perfect local for a QPR fan 😎🍺 | |

I’m not sure mate, but that gaff may be The Smugglers Cove these days.
Been in there once. Friendly enough, but not a place I’d hunt out. Don’t live in Ruislip so I don’t know enough about the place. [Post edited 6 Jun 21:03]

I live in Sunmead Road, so I know these pubs well. The Admiral is great since it has been done up. I used to love it before, purely because no one was ever in there, meaning my kids could play around freely in the side part. Now it is busy, it's harder to go for a pint as my youngest is 18 months ... so peak age of not staying still, climbing everything and running everywhere.
I like the Flower Pot. The food is normally lovely but in the same breath, had some bad meals in there. The bugers at the White Horse are banging, highly recommend those.
I haven't been in the Magpie or Pheonix in years now. Slightly too far to walk just for a pint or 2.
I drink in London Irish the most though, id say. My bros kids play there a lot, and with it being around the corner, it's handy just going there. Kids play outside and beer is cheapest.
Never been Conservative club though. I know a couple of people that go there, and one of those is a reason I don't go there haha. | | | |

No mate.
It was knocked down and they have spent at least 5yrs trying to replace it with a block of flats. | |

So the BIG question is are any of them a "flat roofed pub"
Flat roofed pubs.. by Pommyhoop 29 Apr 2014 13:43As mentioned by Konk in the Morhinio thread. Flat roofed pubs are normally shiteholes which are suited to and are normally frequented by a good few Scum supporters. Here's my offering as one of the roughest ,worst boozers I've ever been in .
The Beaver in Beaver's Estate Hounslow .Now that was a REAL shithole!!
Looks like its closed down.Thank F@ck...

South Oxhey has good stronghold of fellow R’s having grown up there I can confirm there are some shall we say characters!! “The Dick” as it’s commonly known I never frequented much but the Grape Vine was a great QPR pub hoops memorabilia all over the walls before they pulled it down and put flats in its place, also lived just down the road from the badger in Meriden estate, I can confirm that was an absolute hole…
Star & Garter now my local in Silsoe next to the lovely grounds of Wrest Park heritage site. | | | |

No mate, Smugglers is at the bottom of the high st. Sweeneys was a much bigger pub further up the road. It started to get a bad reputation a while back and it got taken over by another crowd who tried to turn it into some sort of nightclub - which went down like a lead balloon with the local community Facebook page.
Last time I was in there it had reopened as some fusion Indian restaurant/cocktail bar and it was a disaster. We ended up having a row with the management when we gave up waiting for half our group to still even get their starters after an hour and a half wait.
Haven’t been back since | |

Pretty sure Martin Rowlands was the final owner/publican of Sweeneys | |

Us true Queen's Parkers  drink in The Salusbury and rarely venture across the park to Kensal Rise/Green. We're also graced with the Alice House which seems the preserve of 30 somethings and transient newbies. The Falcon has been derelict for years now and is in a sorry state.
The Salusbury has been my regular local for nearly 30 years and despite the huge changes this area has seen (i.e. from fairly ordinary to nouveau riche) it still retains its soul, as well as a lot of the local trades people, including my mate Dave, the 'plumber to the stars' and Billy the rock'n'roll builder. Bleedin' expensive though.
I used to frequent the Chamberlayne, Paradise and the William back in the day, never even been to The Whippet or the Island, but the Island sounds... interesting! | |

Current local is Pub de la Gare in Nyon, Switzerland.
Previous local in London was Angie's II in Westbourne Park. Popped in for a couple after the Champions League final last weekend, gawd I miss the old boozer! | |

Ha - to be fair I was living (briefly) in the real Queens Park when I made my login - must be 20 years ago now… Jesus. On Harvist Road even which I since found out was one of our early grounds.
The Salusbury is a great place, used to sit in there listening to the reggae all the time
The Queens Park pub I really miss is The Corrib. Loved it in there. A real shame that got shut down, it was a proper place in the old days, you never quite knew which set of reprobates were going to be hiring the function room on any given night! [Post edited 7 Jun 19:15]

A while ago, The Northwood Hills Hotel, Elton used to play there with his piano strategically placed to escape any trouble by exiting through the window. George Hill the landlord gave us £10 to find another pub :)
Nowadays The Swan in Compton https://ibb.co/qBSFmWQ with its own recycling centre but with character! | | | |

I live between two pubs in a small (400 pop) Peak District village which has, in total, seven pubs and three restaurants serving beer.
All are very touristy but we locals are well served and all offer a locals price. | | | |

I miss The Corrib too mate, it was a fantastic place to watch football and the last proper Irish pub in the area west of Kilburn High Road.
This has been discussed in the election thread, but the rapidly changing demographics of this part of the world has definitely seen off several pubs, as the traditional customer base has been replaced by non-drinkers. | |
