mollag Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Given the sentiments expressed in "poor pubs", there seems to be a grand opportunity for someone to dive in and do it right. God love em. H&B (read all brewery names) have never had any hope at non brewing ventures, chippies and builders for example, then there seems to be loads of lessons to be learned from their cock ups. Lets see what the template for the perfect pub for the IOM would look like with inputs from all us geeniuses on the forum Me first A large mahogany vending machine like what the butler saw style, dispensing morning boat tickets I pass the flame.

Tempus Fugit Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 a ban on mobile phones, stainless steel and tills which go beep beep somewhere for the dog in front of the fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 A decent music venue! Not The Traf (like a broom cupboard) not The Cornerhouse (rumoured to be closing and the service is dire) and not the bloody Villa (all the atmosphere of the moon, over zealous door staff, I could go on..) Decent sized performing area with a nice P.A and a rehearsal room. A nice play area with a bouncy castle, a pool filled with those ball things and maybe some building blocks. Exclusively for use by the Isle of Man Planning Department. Failing that, a combined internet cafe and scantily clad women - Laptop Dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshimajin Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 No television Good conversation Real wood and a patterned carpet Clean toilets ....and definitely the pies but none of that 'calamari with lemon grass jus on a puree of rocket and Tuscan semolina' sort of stuff (not in a pub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeddan Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 A pub like manshimajin describes, and where one could sit inside and have a pint and be able to smoke. (without abuse from PC doo-gooders, threats of prosecution, or complaints from non-smokers going out of their way to go to a 'smoking pub' so as to be able to complain they are victims of secondary smoking and need laws to protect them). OK - let's not go into smoking bans again, but just a nostalgic thought about a perfect pub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollag Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Does anyone feel the need to return to the old male only public bar with ladies in the snug and couples in the lounge? As to a name, i feel it should reflect the area and clientele, i mean The Wheatsheaf is so much better the The Corner House [nother wise H&B decision] So how about "the Packet" situated where the Legion is, loads of brass and polished wood,with barmen/ladies dressed as stewards with oodles of memorabilia from the Islands lifeline?
