Truly, this is the most terrible of public houses.
We had always known it as "The Vile", and treated it as comedically horrifying.
Today it went one step beyond into "proper wrong" however.
I popped in on my way home in order to use their lav- in order to do so I purchased a Guinness.
Three chaps at the bar had made the mistake of ordering real ale.
They had been served pints of fizzing vinegar.
Upon asking the barmaid to investigate the (supposed) manager lurched into site.
He asserted that the real ale drinkers knew nothing of real ale, and that it was meant to taste like that.
Moreover- ale drinkers were spoiled little bitches who should shut the f*ck and be grateful for what they got.
The supposed manager was the worst pub manager I think I've seen for ~20 years.
Oh well- stick to lager.
Big fucking +1 to that. My flatmate used to work there. They properly fucked him over.
Also, we were watching a football match in there last summer, 5 of us. We bought a round of drinks, drank them. Bought a second round of drinks, and drank them. that's 10 pints. The pub is quiet, plenty of tables.
By the time we finished the 2nd pint it was getting on for half time, and for the remaining 45 minutes we were hassled by members of the staff there to basically either buy another pint of piss shit lager or fuck off. Which we did, to go and watch the rest of the match in one of the far better public houses down the road.
God awful bunch of cunts in there. I hope the place goes out of business and the manager of the place drops something heavy on his toe.

Where is this establishment you speak of, sounds my kinda place
-
My ex used to live around there and on several occasions whilst waiting for her I went in for a swift half, or so.
The Guiness Extra Cold was warmer than the regular Guiness and the crisps always had that kind of "off" feel about them. The peanuts were no better either. Their selection of lagers (on tap and bottled) was attrocious and the downtrodden staff all looked like they'd received terrible news.
The place was a den of cunts and it doesn't sound like it's changed much since then.

you're not alone pisti,
What a fantastic bar. It really is a breath of fresh air compared to the tired, cliched, wannabe WestEnd bars which you see on Lordship Lane. The likes of The Bishop and the EDT are just soooooo old hat! My friends and I just happened to come across The Vale one saturday night after feeling nauseated by the lack of creativity and atmosphere being offered by the above dull bars. My friend Annie said, "Hey lets try this bar. We might as well?!". I said yes, anticipating a bore of a bar. Wow, was I surprised! The inside is very spacious and very inviting. The place was absolutely packed and the atmosphere was both lively and welcoming. We were served very quickly and the drink was a fair price too. What was really refreshing was the fact that teh bar staff and dorr men were extremely personable and wanting to make sure we were having a super evening. I really love this place and will be coming abck again xxx

Go in wearing helmets and full lycra, see what they say.
To be fair I'd want to lamp anyone looking like that in my pub.

'I just registered to your pub review site so I could spread teh news about this excellent new bar...'

The EDT & The Bishop are shite. Full of middleclass whiteys with labradors and toddlers in those tri-wheel buggies, eating £18 roast dinners! Fuck off >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And the Vale full of middle age Chav with Pitbull and toddlers with neon lights under their Fiestas.......... Nice
Ace!

Your imaginary pub?
What's on the jukebox? What' son tap? What snacks do you have? Who's behind the bar? Is the quiz hard?
I MUST KNOW!
Ronettes on the juke, Purity on the tap, beef jerky, strong cheeses and Cheese Moments for your belly, Eva Green, Christina Hendricks and Phoebe Cates serving, and the quiz is ROCK HARD
