Pubs reopening June 29th

I'd say the last time that I had a pint in FZs was around when Nirvana's "You Know You're Right" and Foo Fighters' "One By One" came out - so about 2002/2003-ish.

Christ.

Now I feel old.

It's mellowed out a lot, all the old heads are mostly gone bar the occasional appearance around a bank holiday. Very young crowd in there now.

I have nothing but good things to say about the place, it's just not my thing anymore. I like a pub where I can sit at a table in the corner on my own. 99% of the tables in Fredz are in the smoking room and I don't smoke.

I've an awful lot to be thankful to Fredz and Tom for and I hope it never goes away. They're pouring the new Original 7 Lyalls Stout now actually so I must call in for a pint.

Lyall's is named after former Fran Well brewer Peter Lyall who tragically passed away in a house fire last year. Lovely gesture to name a stout after him.
 
I can't recall seeing Buckfast in FZs - well... not for sale behind the bar anyway.

Admittedly, the last time that I was in there was definitely over 20 years ago but I don't remember Bucky being served at any point in the place's 90s/00s heyday.

I do remember that Tom had a Jaegermesiter machine in the style of a V8 engine. And the brief time where you got your drink in a test tube.

Jesus, I fell victim to that yoke. Woke up with a several missing hours and a pocket full of cracked, plastic test tubes.

Good times...
 
Tequila Jack's are doing s Super Bowel party.

I'm not sure how that works with licencing, as even if they got a 2:30am extension the game could still go on well past that.

He's a very nice man, Sean McCarthy

Will they have some faux ICE agents chasing after all the Mexicans in the bar for the craic?
