greatperrybarrstand	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 5/1/2005 8:33:34 PM Ahhhhhhh The Old Contemptables. Memories of swashbuckling maniacs swinging across the ceiling in there. My latest venture to the bastion that is The Kerryman has to be on this list. Went to the bog on St Patricks day to find several old gals either pewking their guts up and or shitting with the door wide open and ranting about the lack of bog roll. Popped next door to a pub whos name i cant recall. Great St Patricks pub full of Polish people all doing the disco duck. Talking of dumps, The Perry Beeches has to be on here. Guaranteed a bost up in there, any night of the week. Has anyone got any memories of the following The Leopard, Gerrys Lane The Swan in Erdington The Rest and be thankfull in Kingstanding The Trees bar (pre Schofields) Perry Common The College arms and The Crossways (laverly) The Hare and hounds (now pudding and pint) tres Dickensian. Bring them forth..........

m8e Rank: Ozzy	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 5/21/2005 3:16:06 PM quote: What about The Sportsman cider pub in Nechells? Although I've never been inside it, I pass it every day, and a furtive glance through the window does give one the impression that it's a tad primeval in there. One night a couple of years ago I saved the life of a totally paralytic fat bloke who was staggering around in the middle of the busy road directly outside there. After putting my own life at risk dragging him across to the central reservation, I then found that his trousers had fallen down. I'm afraid I ignored his request for me to pull them back up for him though, as passers-by could so easily have come to the wrong conclusion. I met the same bloke again at the bus stop opposite the pub a while back (he wasn't quite so drunk this time and mercifully managed to keep his trousers up), and he told me it had been voted Britain's second hardest pub in a survey conducted by Sky Television!! I did ask him which pub had been declared the first hardest, but he'd lapsed into incoherence by then. Man, that bus was an awful long time coming.
crazy head for a peanut	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 7/23/2005 10:29:05 PM A few years back Digbeth was ranked second most violent area of England after somewhere in London... I was confused by this but then when you look at all the Irish pubs, the brothels and the remoteness you can imagine the polava, there is a pub down there right next to the police station and I have seen a couple of nasty scraps outside there (and in the entrance to the dodgy little taxi rank). My Brother had his nose badly bust in a pub in Selly Oak some years back, totally unprovoked and after fighting with the police the dickheads tried kicking the windows out of the police car. (a friend at uni that lives in Selly Oak told me the other day that most of her flatmates have been mugged since being at Uni there) My own experience of a pub you didn't want to hang around in was the navigation in Charlemont Farm, skin head pub that was not a place to sit and chat, everyone sat with their backs to the wall holding their pints to their chests, I got asked what I was selling within a few minutes??? it got demolished after several drug busts, trouble is, all the psychos just dispersed to other less dodgy pubs like the Mill, the Stone Cross, the Scot Arms and the Spiney in the area.
PETERRC	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 8/3/2005 2:37:30 PM Does a pub called "The Hole in the Wall" in the Aston area still exist? If so, does it have anew name and how do you get there? I'm not from Brum, you see
PETERRC	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 8/4/2005 12:12:13 PM Does a pub called "The Hole in the Wall" or something similar still exist in the Aston area? Has it a new name and how do I get there (not a Brum native). Put this message at the end of the hard pub debate by mistake - sorry. Cheers.
double_shot	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 9/21/2005 2:55:26 PM I've fallen over in many pubs in Brum and they're all pretty hard. I think my head hurt the most in the Black Horse in Aston, though...

One of my brother's friends mates was actually murdered in the Fox and Grapes - stabbed to death by a paranoid lunatic. I always felt safe in there, however (probably because by the time I turned up there for the lock-ins I was too drunk to care about anything), although on one occassion I did have to be kept back in there for my own protection until some people I'd upset had gone home. Incidentally, on an historical note, perhaps the F & G's main claim to fame was being the HQ of the Minstrel Wanderers Super Slobs (of which my brother was a founding member) - the ugliest amateur football team of all time.
Buck	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 9/23/2005 10:14:59 PM The Dubliner isn't hard but the old manager is. Some of you might remember the big Paddy bruiser who ran it called Joe Egan. He used to spar with Mike Tyson and was the first guy to knock him out. Nice guy but you definitely wouldn't want to get on his wrong side. After he left the Dubliner he ran a pub on Sutton New Rd as it comes out of Erdington and towards the Chester Rd (It's now a members club). After closing, two stupid and armed chavs tried holding him up to steal the takings. I don't know how long (if ever) it took for them to come out of intensive care. He's also the ex-boyfriend of Michael Flatley's girlfriend, in fact, the bouncy talentless epileptic offered him out with the words "I'm from Dublin, we can box in that city" when Egan gave some sort of exclusive to the Evening Mail. I'd have paid good money to have seen that... Believe he's returned to boxing in Ireland now.
Barr_Beacon	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 9/26/2005 10:38:41 AM The pub was known as The Lyndhurst.
Russ-L Rank: Jasper This message was updated on 9/28/2005 6:16:01 AM by Russ-L	hardest pub in Brum replied on: 9/28/2005 6:13:51 AM 'Big' Joe Egan is going to be handing out the trophies at the Cagewarriors MMA card at the Coventry Skydome on sunday. Apparently he's also due to be writing a piece for the Coventry Telegraph about how and why he thinks MMA/cage fighting will overtake boxing in this country. (Edit: Incidentaly, Michael Flatley is a former Golden Gloves champ and was a feted amateur. He wouldn't stand the slightest chance against Egan, but it's not like he hasn't proved that he can throw a tump).
