Just moved onto Stapleton Hall Road, made it round a few of the local pubs...which pub has the best looking staff so I can now call it my local boozer??
The goth-miserablist does have a certain charm, although when I saw her walking out of the SGR Tesco looking as glum and uninterested as she does working the bar, I've decided I wouldn't be able to put with the constant glumness.
@wickermanfisherman - why don't you try them out and see for yourself? Or are you too beautiful and too important to get it wrong, and risk being served a pint by someone not meeting your exacting standards?
I'd say the World's End beats The Fullback on this criteria. The Old Dairy occasionally has some crackers but the turnover is high and they don't usually last long. I did see a couple of fine ones in the Larrick recently but only the once.
I could break it down into individuals with marks out of ten but that would be a bit mean.
It's a draw between the White Lion and the Park Tavern for last place.
The Park Tavern isn't going to do well on this one, given that the bar staff are predominantly over 50ish, apart from that one bloke with the pony tail which I haven't seen for a while now. They are however extremely nice and friendly.
It's also incidentally my favourite pub in the area by absolute miles, after spending a year or so in the Fullback and then another year of trying out the rest with a few visits to a each prospective local candidate. Will be there tonight, hopefully a nice seat by the (gas) fireplace...
Wow...thanks for all your advice my fellow stroud greeners. My flatmate Ellie and I sampled the local talent over the weekend. Think it's got to be a toss up between the Faltering Fullback & The Old Dairy. It does seem though that it's only blokes In The Old Dairy...Ellie was happy. I asked to the hot girl to smile in the fullback...not impressed. Dairy had better guinness. what to do..what to do.
I don't think there can be any tactic more doomed to failure with cute but grumpy-looking people than any variant of 'cheer up, it might never happen'.
"tasty goth-miserablist" That'll be Hannah then. Have you noticed that her voice sounds just as miserable? But in all fairness she is polite and hard working and actively looks for any customers who may be waiting. (Some bar staff pretend to look but somehow see straight through you) I just found out that she's also a musician and has recently auditioned for a band. A bit of a dark horse then, (pardon the pun).
it is obviously the Larrik the new team in there are v friendly the girls are stunnahs and well presented .. The whole pub has come on in leaps and bounds from somewere i would spesifically avoid 2 months ago to a hub of buzzing activity now (with hot barmaids) 4 i think last count all equally attractive
