You reckon

Coach and horses in wallsend was pretty bad - i know a lad who used to work there with Viv graham - he says he was a sound bloke - he only got mean if u crossed him, heard all the stories of how it's haunted and he'd take people down the cellar and leave them there for a few hours - to proper freak them out.

although, i hardly drink locally - there's just no where 'nice'

Anywhere on gateshead high street is ruff as a badgers like


The Met

Park Lane

Blue Bell

The plough further up in Deckham

Seconded to that

The plough is nothing compared to those above

Re: Re: Re: Rough Pubs

tommy finlay took over later on,was rougher before then tho.
my uncle used to have another bar at the bottom called "the station" in lemington.that was supposed to be a rough hole, i was too young then tho !!

was doing a refit on a new homebase in blyth, and me hotel was in whitley bay....(duno why they put me in a hotel im only a metro ride away...)

anyway on saturday night i was walkin around whitley with some lads from work and everywhere i walked past looked rougher than anything id seen before....

there was one bar that was just a black doorway ( i think it was called smokeys bar or summit like that, near the 'hungry turk' takeaway if anyone knows whitley) and it just looked like a black room playin clubland cd's....some of the lasses going into it man, you wouldnt wish them on your worst enemy..

It has to be Shaggys!

It is the shittest bar ever, I have been in once since the age of 18 and someone threw a Lambrini bottle out of the open window onto the parade. I still wonder to this day how the hell the kid who done it got a bottle of Lambrini past the bouncers and didnt get noticed by the staff. Needless to say, I will never go back there.

The Station sure that used to get called Scottys my friends gran worked there for years until her husband passed away cant think of what you called them her grandad but you called her Gemma Taylor

The Hairy Man and The Comrades also got pulled down

shaggy's. thats the one !!!

scotty's thats it !! i was trying to think of the nickname they gave it.
paul took me in there once when i was about 10 to see rob and i was screaming for him to get me out
in the back room there was guns,drugs everything all over.

We used to have some quality times down there as a kid cant remember any guns but were talking about Lemington take it your from around there

HA HA HA HA HA My mates the dj in Shaggies......Wipe your feat on the way out style like

my brother is,he lives in west denton park.all the family are from throckley,newburn,lemington.

Same here West Denton Parks a nice area 'the posh end of Lemington' as we call it

yeah its lush where he lives,i remember as a kid going up the heap on the back of motorbikes and now we live on it

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.
