Well the ones that were old ball rooms do at least.

Spoons serves a purpose, especially in crap or expensive places. In crap places (i.e. Rugby) it is genuinely the only place to go for dinner that isn't totally disgusting for less than about a tenner, and if you're going for a big old sesh in an expensive city it is nice to get some cheap drinks in.
Also, if you want to go to a cosy atmospheric place you'd obviously be better off going to an independent pub, but actually if I'm catching up with old friends for example, the bright lights and no music is a real winner. Shite trying to have a proper conversation with some old bloke playing folk music in the background or whatevz. Wish they'd all have pub quiz machines though.
Having Stillwater's "A Saison Darkly" just now. This is the third beer of theirs I've had and they've all been really nice. I'll need to be sure to have more when the opportunity arises.
EDIT: Onto Marble's "Madame Cheron" now. Crikey, it's magic.
I'm full to the absolute bollocks of gin and bitter.
What's pub quiz? I see that on signs everywhere. Is that like, an actual quiz that people take? Or is it some nutty gambling thing?
For fuck's sake.
A pub quiz is a quiz held in a pub or bar. These events are also called quiz nights[1] or trivia nights[2] and may be held in other settings. Pub quizzes may attract customers to a pub who are not found there on other days. The pub quiz is a modern example of a pub game. Although different pub quizzes can cover a range of formats and topics, they have many features in common. The pub quiz was established in the UK in the 1970s by Burns and Porter and became part of British culture.[3] The Great British Pub Quiz challenge is an annual event.[3]
Quiz machine is a term used in the UK for commercial coin-operated video quiz games that offer cash prizes for winning performances. These machines are usually found sited in pubs, bars and other places of entertainment. The term quiz machine is often used interchangeably with the trade term SWP ("Skill With Prizes") although not all SWP games are quiz based.
I'm lookin on the Wiki and it looks like it's an actual trivia night? Everybody's on their phones guaranteed. Wtf is the point
Yee, thanks for the footnote citations, I'll read [3] later when i get the chance
Because it's fun, you massive fanny.
Also, points will be deducted/teams disqualified if phones are seen to be used. And even if they're not seen, it's just shithead behaviour to use them.
Like fuck I was deleting them when copying and pasting from wiki
Caught on your phone? Disqualified! Lose with honour you plebs
And to think your country makes fun of Americans for playing drinking games...
Drinking games are for boring wankers.
"Trivia night" is for nursing home wankers
I'm the only person I've ever met who thinks pub quizzes are shit. Let's go and ruin one, mokkers.
Americans and drinking games should be a laugh.
We like to drink with Merty . . .
Sorry lads, Merty appears to be in a lite beer pong induced coma.
Yeah but you probably don't even like pubs.
Drinking games (snappa where it's at) are genuinely one of my favorite things. As pre-games for actual parties of course, not just on their own
I like Wetherspoons.
Ring of fire or gtfo tbh imo brb afk asl lol
Aw mate you ok? Is there a number i should call if this happens again?
You wouldn't last ten minutes in a real pub.
I would and I have. Fuck with me.
Omega White Cider. Stopped posting pretty much until tonight. There's a strange pattern emerging here.
Agreed with all of that. When I was home last year I met my mate at spoons one afternoon. We hadnt seen each other in a few years so it was perfect to have a pint in a somewhat quiet environment and at a decent price for the city center that we could actually converse and catch up.
10/10 would spoons again.
Never done one of those pub quiz things but they sound shit. Drinking games are also woeful.
Pub quizzes (is that really the plural?) aren't shit in and of themselves, although the people that participate in them generally are, especially the competitive ones.
I had kind of assumed smart phones had killed them though.
We should devise a TTH drinking game for Christmas. Whenever Floyd mentions cheese have a sip. Whenever 'Daws' ignores Waff trying for a meet do a shot. Whenever GS' Christmas jumper comes up eyeball a bottle of turps... Even you would enjoy that.
Bruh posts a meme : 2 fingers
Mok posts a meme: 3 fingers
LR starts talking shit: 3 fingers
Lewis tells "a joke" : 1 finger
Magics wife: 4 fingers, and a thumb.
Maybe not.
1 finger everyone
If you can't handle it just say.
I was going to add something but now he went and ruined it.
Probably only because they love Brexit though, right?
They're always reasonably quiet (I'm sure they're horrible at night, but I don't go at night) and normally big enough that you don't have to sit near people.
How much do they charge for a milk?
They are crap for milk. Places that do have it, once they have gotten over themselves, either put it through as a cordial (so like fifty pence) or let me have it for nothing. I went somewhere the other week and the woman not only gave it to me for free, but she let me in on her private stash of biscuits (oi oi). I reckon if I took a shoebox full of creepy shit in next time we could be married by Easter.
You're going to turn into your avatar.
Do you ever go fancy and do a chocolate milk or something, or do you always have it straight up?
He was nothing if not a victim of peer pressure, so I'm safe from going down that road.
Nobody has that. It's just milk they have for loser coffee drinkers.
Drinking milk after nursing age is actually abominable, or so I've heard
Got some Brewdog 'Elvis Juice' - grapefruit-infused IPA. Really quite nice, never had it before.
Last week I went on the Bermondsey Beer Mile and had a fine ol' time. Went to a bunch of different breweries and sampled the wares. BBNO, Anspach & Hobday and some place called 'The Barrel Project'. Great mix of booze.
I had a couple of bottles of Whitstable Bay.
Is the Barrel Project new? Either it wasn't there when I went last year or I just didn't find a Beer Mile list that mentioned it.
Also did you do Eebria? It's right by Partizan but I overheard a few people sneering at it because it wasn't on whatever list they'd looked at. All it meant was it was quiet and I got my pint of 8% whatever served to me almost instantly.
Nah it was new. There were a few I didn't get to so I'll definitely go back.
Just got a case of Jet Black Heart - should I chill it or drink it at room temperature?
Ordered a bottle of Bulldog for £16 off Amazon.
Brewdog would serve it super cold for whatever that's worth. If I could be arsed being organised I'd probably bung a couple in the fridge for an hour then drink them but it'll really be alright however you do it. If you're settling in for a few have the first at room temperature then stick some more in the fridge and you'll try it at each way.
