The ritual gripe over the cost of beer and the lamentable service at the Forum.
Which reminds me, where shall we shift it to, we've been threatening for long enough, maybe we should actually get round to it ;) So, what do we vote for, there's the plethora of Wetherspoons pubs, but thursdays poses curry night and very packaed pubs there, there's the Yates, that might be quiet, don't know, not been there on a thursday, there's the Fat Cat (would definately be packed, but there would be good beer, at least) and well, what other suggestions have we got?
The fat cat has been very quiet the last few fridays I've been in. Thursdays are dead according to a mate of mine. Unfortunately it fails on the parking and rail station criteria.
Within casual strolling distance of the forum there is the sir garnet walsey and the coach and horses. The former is under new management since the last time I went in and is a bit more reputable now (apparantly). The C&H might be a safer bet. The mischief on fye bridge is totally dead during the week (although IIRC they have cheap beer offers on thursdays so might be a bit fuller. I'm guessing). Plus they have lots of corners to hide in. Parking might be hard (I don't drive so I can't comment really). Anything down prince of wales street is right out IMO.
Ignoring the trendy bars, everything small and the 'local' pubs that's about all I can think of, as suitable, in the city centre at least.
I second the call for a pub crawl^W^W^W^Wfact finding mission (and I'd prolly turn up too)
