RUM POT - Chester the Street

[Gobuchul]

Yeah its totally mag....but its good to see the red and whites milling around on match day...The Chester branch that picks up outside the Distillery.

All the in laws are from there and all mags

Love taking the kids to see them in their red and white gear

Funny that. I was told on a number of threads on here, that it's more red and white.

Strangely not many years ago that was a pure red and white pub

Chester’s? It was a red and white good few years back , used to show all the Sunderland away games on the dodgy channel , then got took over by Marty the mag, not sure who has it these days but gets some choice clientele in , the current manager used to manage the black hoss

 

[Biffo The Bear]

It’s the clientele

The clientele are not knackers?

Be better than that mag pub down the street next to spoons

I went in that spoons many years ago.
Bloke walked past me with a pint of probably John Smiths at about 9am, and one of his eyes was dangling on his face on its stalk.
That was a bit weird.

What happened next?

Did he pop it back in?

Go to hospital?

 

[Biffo The Bear]

Correct

Well sounds like it's improved. I am talking about 20+ years ago.

It looked very much like it was there to stay. It looked rather like it was there to stay.

Its was class - pull a munter night every friday

Was down the street Sunday afternoon for the first time in ages - had a canny afternoon but its certainly not what it used to be

 

[Carpets]

The Rum pot is just like the Gin bar apart from a pool table and loads of screens.

I can confirm on both points

I was in Chester the Street Saturday. Front street is a mess Clems gone, pub next to it all boarded up, red lion gone and so are most of the shops. Bar stools and chairs piled up against the windows of what was Crocs.

Sad to see

I lived nearby from 86 until 92. My parents still live nearby.
I go out occasionally when I can't convince my 'back home' mates to go to Durham or Newcastle. It seems worse each time I visit.
Used to be heaving around 1990 on Fridays.
