My dad speaks fondly of a pub in barnsley where there's free bread and dripping on the bar for drinkers. I'd like to see a hipster joint try and match that.

I used to work in a pub that did that. Always looked a bit like marmalade with the brown bits but the thought of what it actually was made me feel queasy.
 
I remember the pub on the opposite corner to Sankeys had free sandwiches on the bar, maybe 15 years ago.

I'm here now with a pint of something or other - I just picked at random, and it's ok. Think it was called Faithless.

I not too subtly took a photo, so judge for yourself. I was pleased that there is at least one beard visible. :thumbs:

The bloke behind the bar sounded like he was from somewhere posh - home counties perhaps. A hipster who can't grow a beard I guess.

That bloke behind the bar looks like he's really into his beers. There's a word for it but I can't quite remember it...
 
Aww you know that looks quite nice :D End of the day these little businesses are a good thing. Bring a bit of character. Always bloody pricey mind. There one near me sets you back over four quid for some pints. Four quid! You'd think you were in central London not the edge of bloody Leeds :facepalm:

I agree - it's quirky and different, but good to have a change to the usual chain bars. I think the pint I got was £3.90 - I'll have to get another to check.
 
It was £3.80 a pint. Much of a muchness for pubs in the city centre I suppose, apart from 'spoons and other cheaper places.

The Daisy is a good pub! I'd always meet you for a pint if you were this way mate xx

I'd settle for going to any kind of pub, or in fact anywhere at all! This single parenting sitting on the settee on your own every night is DOING MY FUCKING HEAD IN right now! :D

Whereabouts do you live? we can always organise a meet somewhere pretty easily, and take account of kids, no alcohol. :)

Only if you live somewhere sensible like the North, of course. ;)

Hope you feel ok mate after coming off the prescription meds. :(

I might have to stop taking the gaba at some point, and I'm on not far off the maximum dose. :hmm:

Oh, that's easy then. And handily, I can delegate the organising to your fellow Leodiensians, Fez909 and tufty79. I am happy to tag along to whatever is arranged if I'm free (usually am at weekends).

We should have a leeds meet that would be ace. Plus there's no was Nancy_Winks will get her kids past the landlord at the Albion Inn although that does give me a bit of an idea involving Larden and a fake muzzy :D
