As 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...
Add your own wonderful flat roofed watering holes...
There used to be an Alsatian doing the same thing on the roof of some pub in Acton that could be viewed from the Central Line train. I also found an absolute stinker in West Drayton a couple of days back - The Cat and Fiddle. The sign on the door said “ members only.”
Scary.
I used to work near there. No one from work ever wanted to go there with me. Probably for the best.
If you've had enough beers you can usually walk into those members only places with confidence, otherwise you can forget it most of the time.

On the road in to Liverpool from Runcorn, you pass a scrap dealership. If you catch it right, you can snigger like a schoolboy at the effect of the protruding wall.
I used to work near there. Pretty much everyone that worked there was awful. I don't think they'd ever met anyone who wasn't from Widnes or Runcorn so they really didn't know what to make of an exotic southerner like me.
I once made a comment to my colleagues about how apart from the bridge, Runcorn's most noteworthy feature is the bloody massive pile of scrap metal and assorted other rubbish. They liked me even less after that.

I’m in the Whitechapel area tonight and was just looking up pubs and came accross this absolute beauty on Cambridge Heath Road! ðŸ˜
Normally the statement of “no real ale” would have me running a mile but in this case, too f*cking right!
Sorry not sure if it’s featured already.
I used to live near there a fair while ago. Popped in maybe a handful of times. The first time was midweek in the middle of winter. I went in and the barmaid and two blokes at the bar stopped their conversation and just looked at me. I ordered a Guinness, much to the annoyance of the barmaid. After being served, I sat the other end of the room and it took a couple of minutes before they continued talking to each other.
Barring that, it was quite good little spot.

This is about 200 yards from my house, fortunately there are two better pubs nearer, never been in there and having seen the clientele outside I have no inclination to!
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
I've hunted high and low to find this one... I can find no photo's on the interweb but there's a couple of vids on YouTube... Part of the Feltham Centre redevelopment in the late 60's was a really weird pub built with a sticky outy bit on Stilts. I think it was called the Cricketers (cant be 100% sure tho). The whole centre redevelopment was typical 1960's bleak, faceless, grim architecture. To get to the bit on stilts you had climb a set of steps in the main building. That sticky outy bit part was glass all round and I'm pretty sure you couldn't open any windows, so in the summer was just like a huge smoky green house.... dis-coloured net curtains were the only protection from the beating sun. Feltham ain't great today but its way better than it was when I were a lad. The pub is now a Spoons and the bit on stilts is no more.
Can be seen here 3:24ish and 3:38ish in.
& 1:18 into this vid...

Bit of a deviation, but this may well be the only former flat-roof pub in the whole of Bristol, that’s been converted into a Greek taverna. When the light’s right, and kids are racing past of stolen motorbikes, you could almost be on Santorini.

I delivered on this estate in West Drayton, there’s a bit of paper on the door saying “members only” so you know what that means. I had a second peep just to check the roof was still flat and lo and behold...
Eyes right.
My new local.
It’s worth the link - if anyone (alright dan?) can do the thing, you are my new best mate.

It’s the little details, mate. To me, if I’m posting a review on Tripadvisor, that’s a guaranteed maximum mark. Well spotted - not everyone would have noticed.
