Favourite Pub?

[BSwiss]

Simple question, really.

And, a simple answer from me - Sinclair’s Oyster Bar in Manchester.

Classic cheap Sammy Smiths pints, lots of outdoor seating. Used to get served there as a bairn. Watched 2 hammer-wielding blokes pinch expensive jewellery from Selfridges from the beer garden.

Now, I’d like to know yours. I’m going to be lenient with my description of pub, to an extent.

The older the pub, the better.
Ideally, it should be a timber framed building, without a single horizontal or vertical reference point. The layout should be cramped and confusing. I should have to duck through every door. I should be looking around for the hooded stranger in a corner who hands out quests.

I often meet a mate in The Mayflower in Rotherhithe, named because the dock out back is where the ship of that name departed to America with the "pilgrim fathers".

OK, apart from Crevettes, obviously...
Narrowboat in Skipton (happiest town in the country allegedly).
Very close to the Skipton junction of the leeds liverpool canal.
Four or five cask beers, half a dozen lagers, and a good basic food menu...with an upstairs gallery thrown in.
No chain, very local, full of walkers and dogs.
Met mates from north yorks there for a couple of decades.
Warm and welcoming, and lots of lancs/yorks leg pulling.
