Rough Pubs

The poor bastard. He could probably just play the cd Massive Radgie Mix, Volume 4 and sit back and relax for the rest of the night.

just as well most of you are to young to have drank in the toon back in the late 70s and all the 80s it was rough as fuck
ive seen some nasty things over the years but mdma stopped a lot of the trouble in town for a good few years, still think it was a lot worse back then tho

Used to love the Pitt nearly sank once when it was all muddy

No fear those days used to get stickers from the sticker factory, hang about piggy's lonnen and hang about the quarry

Theres a few rough pubs along from me The New Tavern, The Bird and The Speculation. Usually when I walk in theres at least 2 people unconscious on the bar

we were in the bird yesterday wasnt to bad imo

The Tavern and the Bird are terrible, only place I could go drinking when i was 14 though so i spent every weekend in both

My mate has bought the Spec, it isnt bad now. They dont let the "Concord Massive" in anymore

It used to be great watching the riots on derby days, until they banned the pubs from showing it

you just get riots on normal Friday/Saturdays now

this thread is one of those rare occasions when I can say...


"thank god im from jesmond"

i've seen people coming out of the turf with blood pissing out of their head. a result of a pool cue or bar stool.

i've also seen the massive fights on front street & on middle street.

i was at work when the 1 way system outside of 70's was cordend off after someone had punched someones window out & then tried to get back in the pub. he was knocked unconscious by someone who was then beaten by his mates. his nanna had 300 quid nicked by one of her relatives...was funny as fuck

seen a lass being led for firstaid after someone had slashed her face for accidently standing on her toe.


i know the lad who got put away for bashing someone so badly with a bar stool in the coach that he had to wear one of those metal supports on his jaw for over a year.

my list is endless for nights out that have ended in violence...

the chinkies bar used to be a really bad place for the shit hitting the fan

consett is a fucking shit hole...

as is the golden lion in leadgate

4 of you.....

the hylton castle arms use to be pretty shady, there's a few pubs in southwick which are raj

Hogans in Southwick - i've been trying to get the courage to pop in for months!

A geordie in a shirt and tie may not go down to well though!

Geordie Riddley- Blaydon.

The New Tavern @ Concord, Washington. My local, also local to some complete utter pycopaths, drug dealers, general thugs & wifebeaters. Good crack though if you no everyone
