Not sure the question needs a definitive answer, but anything that helps to preserve these pubs as pubs is a-ok with me. I recall heavy sessions in The Red Lion down in Southampton because we were acquainted with the owners some time back, so we would just be locked in, party all night, pass out in the rooms upstairs and then carry on the next day. The pub might have been from the 12th Century, or the 15th, but either way, our flagrant abuse of its premises and hospitality seems entirely in keeping with its history.
- Nursie 4y agoJust stay away from the vicious bird... In Southampton I prefer the Dancing Man, which has only been a pub for a handful of years, but is housed in a building nearer to 700 years old. They brew on site, and it's really good stuff!
- shaftoe444 4y ago> the Dancing Man Good pub, still refered to as "the wool house" by most locals. Surreal to see disccusion about pubs in Southampton on hackernews this morning!
- Nursie 4y agoIt is! My excuse is that I lived there for about 9 years, until a year or so back :)
- vr46 4y agoVery surreal, I'm going back 23 years and only because I'm hoping that no one will remember those days.
