drinking in Jaywick's roughest pub! - th-cam.com/video/LbcgsCSL3Is/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MAgD6JivzEyrygtI
For a future video, consider going to the top end of Walsgrave road in Coventry! It's a big road - go closer to the town centre, then can venture to the town after. I lived there before I moved abroad... Ropy is the word that comes to mind. (one of the main reasons I moved abroad) Would be an interesting visit.
Head to the southwest coat.. town called Bridport, there's a pub called Hope&Anchor.. right old dog of a swiller.
I lived in Bradford for about 5 years .. best thing I ever did was leaving.. what an utter utter fucking shit hole
Stop lying 😂
Bradford has more character and charm than Luton
@@johnmitchell2269 i thought London takes the Title
It's like the garden of Eden compared to Coventry 😂
@@Charlie.202 Christ Coventry must be rough!!!
Australian here.I went to England in 2004. The pubs were like stepping back in time to another world. They mostly had a cosy atmosphere.
Went to university there in the early 00s. It wasn't the best then, doesn't look like much has improved. 150 years ago it would have been absolutely thriving and the architecture in the city centre is a reminder of that era.
John seems like a really nice guy.
Was sound
the old buildings look good, its a shame about the poverty,
Sad fact is that most "pubs" nowadays are chain brands meaning that the days of "rough pubs" (As in "the local" everyones knows thats been on the same street for five hundred years) will soon come to an end.
True mate
Come to Boston we still have one or two left
The old crown been on the same site in ivegate since the twelfth century
My daughter loves this channel. She wants to start a similar channel where she finds old-school ice cream parlours - “let’s see what’s kicking off at Luigi’s” “that mint choc chip is arf decent”
Get it done, gets you wandering 👍 cheers pal
ahaha "kicking off at luigi's"
The Sheila's like the sweet things in turn
Wouldn't be a modern City without some random African aggressively screeching away.
Wouldn’t be the uk without some racist numb nut making comments like yours.
Screeching 🤣👌🏻
only the one? lucky day that
God what have we let into this country, nothing of any use or is going hamonise the place.
Normally on a bluetooth headset on a call back home at silly hours of the morning
Always a pleasure to watch these videos. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Cheers mate, really appreciate it 👍
I am from Bradford,used to go in the boy and barrel regularly,also been in the vault,love your channel,keep up the great work and stay safe and well always matey.
Shame it's shut. Looked a right boozer. Cheers pal 👍
@@honestplaces Maybe try the Fighting Cock or the Turls Green (Spoons)
£2.50 Guinness is bob-on, well done Bradford
I know!bangin mate
We pee in the Guinness here.
The dubliner.."its an Irish bar innit " blinding bit of detective work !
Yeah I enjoy the look around these places but our host seems to be as sharp as a beach ball. Still we can't all be Prof Brian Cox I guess.
He kind of reminds me of like a pound shop Ross Kemp "it was all looking like it was about to kick off" etc.
Pans camera around a box standard sports bar "bet it gets a bit tasty in ere on a Saturday night". 🙄
Right. why did he even find it necessary to say that at all, unless that is a potential problem for him ?
John seems really sound. Could sit down and listen to him over a few beers. I bet he has some interesting stories to tell.
Yeh man, people like that always have stories, you can tell a good guy almost straight away, the head moving guy however is probably a prick
Yeh mate, if i went in therr for a pint could easy chat for a good hour 👍
@@pastandcurrent Head moving fella was possibly a dealer.
Everyone needs to encounter a John on their travels
@@pooooornopigeon yeh I got those vibes too, probably had a bit of good green on him
Bloody hell...didn't expect to hear Mazzy Star in that sports bar! 🤣
I was thinking the same thing 🤣. Wouldn’t have thought I would hear Mazzy Star in any pub in Bradford to be honest 😜
Left Bradford in March 2006. Moved with my family to Perth,Western Australia. For some reason we have never thought about returning
love this channel. i love finding pubs which are a bit rough around the edges but have character and charm and a local community spirit about em.
Cheers mate. Yeh they really are the best
That applies to precisely *no* pubs on this video 🤣🤣
@@tobyjackman3212 got sold a lie from a local 🤣😭
Very divided city
More welcoming than your average Bradford street, I imagine.
Bradford is a great. Lived here 17 years. Some of the most welcoming people (of all colours and creeds) I've ever met. Despite the issues of poverty and the council trying to butcher what's left of the City centre and outer estates, we all try and stick together in the struggle. Some awesome eating spots too. Outsiders love to knock us (particularly evident in the TH-cam comments section and local paper) but they have no clue what goes on.
I live here but will be leaving in due course, my children have left with their mother already but yeah what a chit hole and its only getting worse, the police do not enforce much of anything anymore 😅
Not even sharia law, useless pigs
Honestly what does culture award even mean these days? Seems like it just goes to the city with most immigrants/foreigners.
You know it
Bigoted sausage
@@christopherwhittaker2620 Oh yeah, is he wrong then?
Capital of 1st cousin marriage, and "gr00m!ng".
Crime rates through the roof, and some of the most expensive car insurance rates in the country, etc, etc... 🎉🏆
@@jacksonfrenchii8080 most grooming gangs in the UK are white British. Most sexual crimes committed against British children are by white British men.
If you don’t believe me go look at what the home office report says. As for the rest of your thinly veiled racist bigoted nonsense. I’ve heard it 1 million times before. It all sounds like GB News headlines, Daily Mail headlines, the Sun newspaper headlines and the daily Telegraph headlines. You’re just a parrot parroting right-wing crap. Most of the British people don’t align with your views and your values or should I say lack there of. Hence why the Tories are getting annihilated and hence why reform uk aren’t doing anywhere as near as well as they would hope to be. Look what happened to UKIP. They never won one seat in parliament, and they disbanded. There are Muslims in the British Armed Forces willing to die for this country. There are Muslims in the NHS and care homes who were on the front line throughout the pandemic, saving British peoples lives. Immigrants contribute billions to the British economy every year. Take immigrants out of the UK and the country would grind to a halt. End of story.
Next…..

Bradford winning the culture award says a lot that the award is a load of bollocks.
Came across your channel not long ago weirdly addictive can’t get enough keep up the great work mate 👍🏻
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Back in the 80s I used to work at the Royal Standard on Manningham lane.
Biker gangs. Punks.Goths.
You name it. Everyone (that never came in) thought it was rough but we never had any trouble. Had a cracking couple of years!
Yeh those type of pubs never have much trouble
I went there in the 80s. Always had a great time. TAKE 5 on the juke box. Excellent glazing. Great pub.
This channel is really weirdly addictive lol, i think its that we can all relate
🤣🤣 i'll take that pal
I can't get enough of it! Can't get enough of these
Started watching after the Dewsbury road vid, and now can't stop watching
The best pub in Bradford was the New Beehive but I'm sorry to see it's closed down. It had gas lighting, a coal fire in each room, a huge selection of proper beers and wood floors. A great place to spend an evening with friends.
Now the scene of geezers stabbing mums with prams
Ginger Goose was the name of a race horse. It ran 3 times in the UK back in 2012, winning a maiden race at Hamilton. Then it went off to Florida, USA and raced there until the end of 2017.
Ahhhh, thay clears it up
great relevant to post
Went there most days a week last year for work, I like the place but the driving and parking standards round there are on another level ! Lot of interesting characters, have to watch yourself and keep an eye on things though.
I’m an old Yank (67), never been to the U.K., but had plans to go when COVID hit. I’ve since had a medical issue so it’s not in the cards right now.
I was going without the wife, because all I want to do is go from old pub to old pub and bullshit with the older guys. Don’t really care to see the Crown Jewels.
To me, the older generation of the British people are my crown jewels, and I want to hear their stories.
Plenty of pubs for that mate. Hope you get over here soon 👍🍺
@@honestplaces Thanks, my friend. Will do my best.
@@Ira88881if you do decide to come to England pal
Come up north everyone up north in all city’s in any pub will talk to you
Down south they will ignore you 😉👍
@@Thomas-fr1ww I have no plans on even VISITING London, and was researching alternate airports. Like…
Even if I had to fly into Heathrow or Gatwick, I would want to hop onto a smaller plane to fly elsewhere.
@@Thomas-fr1ww Is there a small airport up north?
I've been going to Bradford for 50 years, great curries. I know all these pubs pretty well. Never had any bother.
There used to be some cracking,down to earth pubs in Bradford,old crown, royal standard, belle Vue, Manville arms,etc,etc, happy days.Keep up the great reviews 👍
Yeh. Shame most of them have gone. Cheers pal
Beehive was pretty good. Still had gas lighting last time I visited.
@@honestplacesThe same can be said across the uk.
Bradford's pub's & nightlife were superb in the 80's & early 90's. It's a shanty town now with some nice architecture as a back drop...
The Crown Sports Bar was called The Old Crown when I used to go in there many years ago & it was a right rough joint!
Topless bar maids, hard cases that you didn't look at & many colourful characters!
Strippers too in the 70s and 80s
I remember when I was 16 going into the town for the first time, we started in the bridge at the bottom of bowling old line, then to the town centre, the old empress, the old crown and Yates down ivegate and then the sackville arms followed by the county bar, I moved away from Bradford when I saw it going down the drain, such a shame for a once proud city. I won’t even drive through it now. It looks a horrible scruffy place going nowhere. Thank god I got out all them years ago. I suppose you don’t see it when you live there.
Bradford amazing city,was born there, obviously problems like anywhere,but people,are lovely,great atmosphere, and community ❤
😂
There used to be a pub called Delius that I used to go to in the early 2000’s which was great. Some great Friday and Saturday nights were had in there. I was sad to learn it closed down!
Off into York today get some beers in 🍻 2 pound bus can't go wrong. History walk will be interesting mate 👍 enjoying the vids. Inspired me to go out more
York is top pal, get yourself in the samual smiths pub. £2.20 a pint. Enjoy mate 👍🍺
@@honestplacesdo a vid on York mate 👌🏻
The Drum Winder where they openly drug deal drugs in the alleyway next to it, that whole 200m of Ivegate street is a real eye opener. But Ive always liked and felt comfotable in Bradford, one of a tiny majority that actually prefers it to Leeds.
Really! Didn't get those vibes. How odd
@@honestplaces Loving this channel though, my brother loves it too. You need to get these catchphrases on some merch mate
Me 2 go there a few times a year love it
@@honestplaces Because while the roadworks are going on, Bradford centre is empty. But yes, at the corner of the Drum Winder they are drug dealing in the open every day. I guess the roadworks have killed their business.
Love your videos mate! Can't beat a dodgy pub!
Cheers pal, yeh deffo the best
If you'd gone in the opposite direction from the ginger goose up to The queen's, that's a proper old man's pub and cheap as chips.on your upcoming (or maybe you've already done it) trip to the Krays pubs,a word of advice the landlord of the pub they bought their mum,hates anyone asking about the history or talking about it,he's turned it into a gentrified poncy bar👍
Cheers pal, i'll reframe from asking questions 👍
The googly eyes on the Alan Shearer poster behind you made my day...
It's on everyone in there 🤣
Bradford is a lot nicer than I thought it was, some nice buildings there. Can't wait to see the Kray twins pubs in your next vid
More listed buildings than York. This is a true fact.
You walked past the City Vaults twice. Best boozer in the centre when I was last there. You went in what used to be the Old Crown on Ivegate. If those walls could’ve told you some tales you’d ‘ve run a mile or stayed for more!
Hehe, watching this and thinking Bradford being the Capital of Culture next year reminds me of the Rab C Nesbitt episode when Glasgow was capital of culture.
actually Bradford looks amazing so does the pubs, I am impressed!
You wouldn't be if you came
Bradfords only good for drinking or food festival . Rest of it’s an S hole .
But the bouncers was bit of dheads to me in that pub with the dealer outside you went in . so not been back since cba with bouncers who are bored so pick on people who are from out of town and hope to get a reaction out of you
Some great rough bars in Bristol - the Long Bar, cheap rough cider, in Bedminster, the Apple Tree, Barley Mow and Grosvenor. The Apple Tree closes around 6pm - the locals are too pissed to drink any more by then! Old scrumpy bars are getting very rare - go while you can!
What was up with that "head-nodding" guy? Probably expected someone to start an argument with him. A lot of town centres are dodgy, rare for someone to just come up and start a friendly conversation.
Who knows mate, had me baffled 🤣
He’s a dealer , it’s like a nod for do you want some coke . You either get it or you don’t lol
Head banger was shifting bags of sniff I would assume
I'm guessing dealer too, reckon if you nodded he'd take you somewhere and sell you stuff. Quite funny how it played out in the end with him haha.
@@WoodyWandererhow you know 😂
Just found your great channel. 2 and a half squids for a pint of the black stuff? Lucky man. Here in Dublin it's about four english quids at the cheapest in May 2024. Pints of Guiness are always worth it.
Buzzing for that kray pub video mate, thank you for the content
Me too. Cheers pal 👍
"That's alright that"
Top quote 🤣
That would be a shrewd idea for some merch with that quote on the front of a shirt.

@@honestplacesMy surname and my Mom’s surname come from England. Did Ancesty thing and I’m pretty 🇬🇧 I’m not talking shit yet how you pronounce ‘that’ without using a ‘T’ sound is fascinating. Have a good one bro. 🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧💪🏻
Lets see what's kicking off
One of the blokes who taught me at Uni was part of the team that designed the green public space with the water feature..damn fine job. Wonderful architecture in Bradford, Leeds has been a vampire over the last 20yrs however..
I’m from Ossett..look out for Ossett Brewery on your travels pal, good pint 👍
Seen ossett brewery about, never been in one of there pubs though. Need too!
40 years ago The Old Crown was a dive strippers and dirty, full of rough, toilets smelt and had fungus growing on the walls, Boy and Barrel was an old pub Victorian, The pub next to it was a bit rough also. Many of the pubs have closed or been taken over by corporate business chains, Yates was good, Shoulder of Mutton and Rams Revenge also.
mazzy star in the bradford sports bar
There is Hope 😉
Fully
Legendary song
Boy and barrel was the biggest ronka pub in Bradford. Didn’t know it had shut down.
John is cool . Never been to Bradford ( I was in East is East ) set there but i filmed my part in W London . Bradford has got some nice architecture! I really like the accent :)
So much to unpack from this one. 'What's over there?' 😀
Odd encounter 🤣
And I said a pint of Guinness in Jaywick was cheap. Bradford wins that one. 👍
Don't think it'll be topped at those prices now!
As someone who has had to drop the booze for myself (and everyone around me), Thankyou for mentioning the zeros are still a nice drink to have. Was a massive bastard when I stopped drinking, Go to grandmas wake, ask for an OJ and lemonade and they gave me OJ and tonic. Honestly, fuck that pub I will never go back. They almost fucked up my day (and potentially more... It's a hard sell to get a drunk like myself to go to a pub and not have a beer). All I wanted was a nice drink whilst sitting with the fam and it was like they were spitting me for it.
Cheers bro.
They have come a long way the alcohol free ones pal. Good on ya for cutting it, mugs game if you're on the sesh. Guinness 0.0 is mega pal, peroni also. But people still think you're weird not drinking...it's a shame
Should of gone in the Crown years ago, that would of been an eye opener for ya 👀🤣
Shut now?
@@honestplacesthe Crown sports bar you went in, had strippers on back in the day
Ye olde crown was the pub with the noddy man outside. Back in the day it had all day strippers and a good rock dj. Happy days !
Ring o bells pub on the hil looking over Bradford. Shut now .Great for curry's houses in centre
£2.something - excellent result, what a cracking place!!!
Bangin!
I remember when I had to live in Bradford for 2 years, some of the pubs away from the centre are the ones to visit really cheap and proper characters no to keen on the southerners, city vaults takes me back though
Love the channel! Come to Glasgow and go to some of the pubs around the schemes.
Just watched you and wendell awesome quality im catching up atm keep up the great work Danny 👍😎
These videos scratch an itch that I didn't know needed scratchin'
🤣🤣🤣 i'll take that
Next time you come to Bradford got to try Virginia tavern in thrornbury off Leeds rd it's an eye opener mate😂😂👍👍
Shame i missed that
Seen you repping guiness had my first pint yesterday 👌 I know its a required taste but I enjoyed it that much I had another one 🍺 love the videos pal looking forward to the next one
No way! Your pallet will enjoy it more with every pint pal 👍 cheers mate
Just like a draught but refreshing looking forward to the next one 👌
This was great! 🎯
🤣 cheers mate
I've worked in Bradford a number of times over the years and the city centre has improved particularly since a lot of the brutalist 70's architecture has been removed, though the anodyne stuff which has replaced it is still no match for the Victorian architecture of old. Haven't had a drink in the same since my Bradford College (16-18 yrs old) days in the mid 80's when we used to visit all the supposed rough house pubs in the city centre of the time and with never an issue.
Those pubs were proper naughty, you could feel the tension, anyone of those pensioners could of kicked off at any minute 😳
Had to fight afew off, telling me to respect my elders
Nice one mate, Guinness £2.50 a pint cant go wrong, that last pub definitely wasnt ropey!
Bangin init. Yeh i know, dunno what that guy was on about
The New Virginia Tavern - My favourite Bradford boozer. An experience
you should go to a place called Whitburn and try pubs there, its in Scotland, very rough area and a lot of decent pubs too.
Going back to scotland soon. Too many places on the list
Cheers bud another great 👍 video
"Well let's see what's kicking off in Bradford"... * passes random African screaming *
Born & bred! BIG UP THA BRAFORD MANZ 🤙
To be honest ive lived outside England for years now and Englands roughest pubs are still better than most around the other UK countrys. English people are some of the most down to earth and welcoming there is. If only we gave our selves more credit.
Yeh english pubs are decent. Most run down ones are the best i get ya 👍😂
City Vaults is a great pub so is the Shoulder of Mutton around the corner from there. Shame The Bank and Black Swan shut as well. Lots of good pubs and a few real dives. The Night train is good for live music
John seemed so chill
Was sound
Another banger!! 🔥
looking forward to the London Pubs I've been in The Blind Beggar
Same mate! 1st time....not looking forward to the prices
@@honestplaces London the home of Guinness which apparently started life as "London Porter" if you get a chance try a Fullers pub in London 🤔
2.50£ for that Guinness thats unreal mate for that,watching from Rep of Ireland ☘️👍🍺
Madness init. Still doesn't taste as good as what you guys get over there! 😭
used to live in Bradford and these pubs do not change and awesome to drink in however u HV to be careful too
Another awesome video.
Cheers pal
Great Video mate as always. Christ Bradford looks dog rough though.....you want dodgy pubs. You need to go to Birkenhead 👍
Cheers pal, yeh i've heard it's pretty tasty around there
Ye chatting to locals more is a must, get a feel for the people aswell as the pubs. 👍
Deffo. Gonna try chat to people inside
Get yourself a pint on me mate! 🍻
Thanks pal, goes a long way mate. Really appreciate it 👍👍🍺🍺
2 pints in Bradford
@@manpreetbrar838 True, but would you rather have two in Bradford or one somewhere nice 😂
@@kjsbadfkjlasbdg anywhere is nicer on double dosage.
You should come to brigg bud. There's about 12 pubs all within a minute or 2 walking distance. It's a market town
8.30 As if someone's stuck googly eyes on that poster of Alan Shearer 😆top stuff Bradford
The Drum Winder isn't dodgy at all. That's where I go drinking before Bradford games. You need to venture a bit further out the centre for the dodgy pubs.
A "dodgy" pub during the day is often a very different place at night 😉
Bradford was once extremely affluent. The industry died and the invasion began. The rest is history.
Our pubs missing a trick I like them frozen glasses from places like Tenerife pints so much nicer
Well done mate. Subscribed. Pubs are always fascinating. Im English living in Australia. Some time could you venture out to High Wycombe, and Banbury? Gotta be some dodgie pubs there! 🍺🍺🦘🦘
Playing mazzy Starr in that bar what a classic
Good work pal, chatting to the locals.
Can't believe you didn't come to Edinburgh 😢
On that cards mate. Cheers pal
@@honestplaces what? Oh I'm guessing you meant it's on the cards, sorry bud
1st pub looks solid
cheers...feel like drinking and walking with you mate
The main reasons to visit Bradford: Alhambra, Mamma Mia italian, Sunbridge Wells.
You should try pontefract for a small market town it has a lot of pubs and bars better in the evenings
Yeh afee people have said that. Gonna have to get down there
