Not having anything else to occupy what I call my mind, I suddenly started to think of my favourite pub names. I find the Ship Aground very evocative and I also like the Dog And Muffler and The World Turned Upside Down. Any good 'uns ? Not made up ones please. |  | | |  |

The Admiral Blake at the top end of Barlby Rd will be known to many on here. A common enough name but known to locals as the Cowshed. | | | |

The Goodwill to All. Sounds like something you should write in a Christmas Card. |  | | |

There used to be a boozer called The Case Is Altered in Willesden.
The pub sign was a judge in handcuffs. Always fascinated me as a kid. |
Often had to get my father out of there on a Sunday afternoon. Apparently it was a corruption of Casa Alta, which was the name of inns in Spain at the time of the Peninsular War. Very possibly nonsense.
There’s a wonderful old pub in Deansgate in Manchester called the Briton’s Protection. Depending on who you believe, it either celebrates the co-operative and trade union movement, or the Army. Apart from the Peterloo murals in the corridor, it has the same decor as my grandparents house, around 1971. |  | | |

That garden is the Ewok village. They just used to have a little concrete yard - a really clever use of the available space. I've drunk in there for 25+ years - strange pub really, with the main bar being an old school back street boozer, but with the "Cub hut" out the back and then the Ewok Village outside. Always been brilliantly run. | |

I think it is still there, Bos - opposite The Grims Dyke Hotel which has some connection with Gilbert and Sullivan.

I used to enjoy going to Bob’s Goodtime Blues in the Station Tavern near Latimer Rd tube. Back in my misspent youth of Sunday lunchtime boozing. They used to have a great house band (guitarist called TJ?) with regular guest vocalists such as Chaka Khans sister Taka Boom. Although I never saw her apparently Chaka herself would also make an appearance when in Town.
*Edit- I think the guitarists name was TJ. [Post edited 15 Jul 2019 12:45]

Pub names are one of the few things I'm ultra conservative about. It's cultural vandalism and pure vanity to change the name of a pub that's existed for a century or more, or even decades. All old pub names should be listed like buildings to prevent dickheads renaming them with asinine names like The Fart in a Furrow. |  |

I too frequented the Station, and being a tenth rate blues guitarist myself, played there a couple of times. I remember particularly a local outfit called The Shakey Vick Blues Band. I went off the pub when a bloke had his hand chopped off in there. [Post edited 15 Jul 2019 12:30]

It's an amazing pub. Sadly now it's too popular to bother going to watch the rugby in. One in one out by about 4 hours before kick off |  | | |

Spent many a Saturday afternoon in there watching Jeff Stelling in my twenties when I wasn’t at QPR away.
There are only a handful of boozers I think about regularly and that was one.
Another one, for anyone who lives in South Australia is the Mount Mary Hotel of which I reckon was the greatest and most interesting boozer I have ever see foot in:

There is/was a Case is Altered in Warwickshire.
I always liked the names The Sprat (a long-gone hellhole of a boozer in Didcot) and The Blue Lias and The Jugged Hare but my fave will always be....The Old New Inn. |  |

I’ll never forget a pub I went to in Cremorne on the North Shore in Sydney around year 2000. The Oaks Hotel.
They used to have a butchers attached to one side of the pub where you could buy your own uncooked meat and take it out to the garden where they had a large tree with bbq grills underneath. Here you could cook your own steak and burgers or whatever.
Not one for vegans obviously. | |

Used to work around the corner from that, and drink there occasionally. |  |

In Doonbeg in County Clare there's a pub owned for generations by the Igoe family.
Called, quite rightly, The Igoe Inn. | |
