As a kid I spent time at "St Marys Mansions" Sean Mcdermott st . . The people where absolute salt if the earth . . Early 80s just as the bad drug (heroin) problem started in Dublin , it apparently destroyed lots off good families .

Used to drink a good bit in a pub in Tallaght. Always great craic.

 

Used to drink in another pub in Dublin that had a terrible rep and never seen any trouble. The locals made sure of that.

The joke with that pub was that when you were going in the bouncer would ask you had you any weapons ?

You'd say "No".

The bouncer would hand you a knife and say "In that case you better have this."

The Ship pub in Tilbury had a middle page spread in the Sun once with the legend "The hardest Pub in Britain" and a load of overweight chavs waving pint glasses in the air the dozy c**ts.........it was shut within 3 weeks as they had coach parties coming down and kicking the living shit out of them 4 times a week after that.

Funny as f**k !

Thats similar to when the ex fighter Mark Potter took over the Higham Hill Tavern in Walthamstow when it turned up on one of these roughest pubs in Britain programs it was shut down a few months later as the other local pubs took offence and it turned into scenes out of a wild west film every other night.

It was the opposite for us as kids we,d walk off the estates in Canning Town and Custom House onto rough traveller sites....out the fire into the frying pan

I think reputations are always worse than reallity . , I've family up in Tower Hill Liverpool & apparently its a tough / rough place yet I've never seen an ounce of trouble though as anywhere you go if you go looking for it you'll probably find it & if your not looking for it & are civil & polite to people anyone wanting to create a problem for you isn't tough there a bully & you'll probably find there not as tough as they make out with that attitude . , toughest people are the nicest people you'll meet I've found .... if you don't create a problem with them .

I once had an old friend that once told me

 

Dont worry about the lads that are waving the guns around and shouting there mouths off

 

worry about the one behind them standing quiet and no gun in site

 

as when you see his gun he is the one that will fire.

 

still would not take the chance lol

 

atvbmac :thumbs:

Very true that. My old man has always said don't worry about the loud mouth telling you how hard he is, his balls will shrivel when he's confronted, worry about the quiet one saying f**k all.

 

I've found it true on many an occasion.

 

As for the original question I reckon many little towns and villages have got a local pub tucked away that will be frequented by a few unsavoury characters.

 

I've travelled the country a fair bit with work over the last 10 years and stayed in all the cities mentioned above and never had a bit of trouble. I've never gone looking for it but I reckon it would be easily found in most places if you were that way inclined.
