drinking in a pub that's banned phones and social media!

I go for a pint in a pub where going on your phone or any social media is banned and if caught you get kicked out! This is to force you to talk to your mates or other people just like how a real pub should be!
There is no music, no tv's....just cheap beer and a chit chat!

KZbin is the only "social media" I use now aside from texting for vital information, it may be anecdotal but I keep hearing more and more people around me either limiting usage or giving it up completly. My parents are almost 60 and my mum can't stay off her phone at all even when we're talking sometimes, she never learned how to be responsible with usage because it just wasn't a thing for her growing up, she used to read loads of books because she had nothing else to do when the weather was bad but now she just plays candy crush or games similar to it.

Cheers for this dude. This pub review thing is right up my street. As I've said before, think you are on to a winner with this content.

They are actually the burning ember of light left in some communities which are themselves otherwise grim. I hope that people remember our great pub culture and that people like you help to encourage people to never be afraid to venture into a pub, no matter how they look on the outside. These days, they need all the business they can get. Said it before, but if you are ever over in Northern Ireland hit me up for spots to check out, both the good, the bad, and the ugly lol.

I worked in a Sam Smiths pub for many years. Great beer, great pub. What some customers would do is buy half a Taddy Lager (4.5% - £2.30 a pint) and half an Alpine (2.9% - £1.40 a pint) in the same pint glass for £1.85 a pint. The bitter drinkers would mix half a mild (1.34 a pint) with half a Sovreign Bitter (2.04 a pint) for a pint of mixed for £1.69 a pint. Happy days.

Grim,soulless,cold..the building was tired and run down,to be fair the beer was decent,and we aren’t bothered about our phones so that wasn’t an issue,swearing on the other hand!now being average at best snooker players most misses are followed by a string of f bombs..we were told half a dozen times by their team to watch the language which in a rough and ready town like Cas is laughable.

She was on her phone checking where the car park was. I was only having one cos I was driving. Some muppet from behind the bar went over to her and said get off your phone. She said oh sorry I didn’t see the sign. And he tapped it. Then he was slagging off my mrs to his mate. I thought they were talking about someone outside knocking the sign over or sumat. Only when I got to the table she told me and I put 2 and 2 together. It was her bday and my gran was calling my phone to wish her happy birthday. So I put it on loudspeaker.

All we needed was a pool table and darts and we were sound. Was possibly the only chance we’d ever get to feel what the past was like. Our local has closed down now, I remember the family who owned it saying they can’t wait til’ Sammy passes so they could run it like normal, there was no cameras in there but they were always paranoid he might pop in one day, even though the chances were extremely slim considering there was chains allover the country.

Great to see Ashley is still doing well.

Sam Smiths is great stuff. Humphrey Smith might be a bit of an oddball but no one's forced to drink in his pubs.

[@honestplaces]

That is true 👍

Looks a really nice proper pub with a proper “governor”

was a pub in Guildford in 90s no mobiles

[@gezbarker1013]

Best idea for a pub get people talking eye to eye. I hope it all goes well for the landlord

[@honestplaces]

Boss idea

[@Cashback13]

Sad old men from deacdes ago, throwing their weight around to feel self-important, because they can't cope with change and modern life. Still a chain pub at the end of the day they just need a Time Machine. Plus it's cheap for a reason...

[@Andy-O374]

You are exactly the type of cocky little gobshite that I wouldn't want anywhere near me in a pub. If I had a pub and you walked in, I would only serve you shandy, and if you complained about it in any way I'd remove you.

[@jonathanlake6053]

Whatever, don't let us grumpy old men stop you paying £6 a pint elsewhere @Cashback13.

[@ianjames5150]

I love this idea.. and I will be visiting the pub! I’ve had no social media for 4 years now

[@honestplaces]

I deleted it all too....amazing how much you don't miss it init!

Sam Smith make the worst Beer in the country .. 2.20 wasted

[@honestplaces]

Good for dole eds like me 🤣

[@cockayne747]

Nice mild and bitter

[@carlheald9228]

I hate their pubs . Full of miserable old bastards. Got a death stare answering my phone in a pub in Stockport. No wonder Sam's smiths pubs are empty or closing. Avoid if you're feeling low. Cheap shite beer anyway.

in your opinion, its not a fact just because you said it

Funny how we think this is a great concept, when we used to do it all the time. Nice pub, cool people, and great prices. Ide drink there.

[@honestplaces]

Yeh that is the sad thing iniy

[@mrbigarms]

I wish they would ban phones in more places, so annoying, particularly in restaurants. Some people just can't give them a rest!

[@honestplaces]

I agree

[@TTIOTT]

Great channel mate just got it recommended. Keep it up, documenting normal life.

[@honestplaces]

Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍

[@markmcgonbell2860]

Well done to the landlord. Phones and digital technology is killing us 👏👏👏😊

[@BillyGooding]

Good old fashioned British pub with good old fashioned banter.

[@honestplaces]

You know it

[@Yakk1507]

We as a nation need to make sure places like these stay open, for good👍

[@KieranWilliam662]

The no swearing would drive me up the wall

[@waylingtons]

I worked in a place just like this about 17 years ago. It closed down recently and I feel it’s a real shame for the customers who used that place as a social hub. Loads of old guys used to meet up and play domino’s and now it’s gone. Real shame.

[@honestplaces]

Yeh....pubs aint for the old folk anymore

[@johnnythefox132]

A proper pub, pubs like these are few and far between nowadays. great video

[@honestplaces]

They really are! Cheers pal 👍

[@placeholder3853]

Proper old school, could do with a new paint job but would probably upset the regulars

[@phillnewton740]

It's like been in a pub before the 2000s, without the stale cigarette smoke in the air

[@mobspeak]

The no swearing is where I draw the line. Fuck that.

[@leewhyte101]

Best people and characters I’ve ever met in my life has been in Pubs.. Mostly dives n shitholes .. proper people in those places

[@marknewellmusic]

You need to make this a series, go find all the pubs like this all over the country - here's hoping this catches on all over. Might even save pub industry.

[@david-pb4bi]

Unfortunately most pubs nowadays midweek, don’t have any phones, media or customers.

[@honestplaces]

Yup....shame init

[@DJE9684]

Your next challenge is to go back in there and pull a bird 😂

[@ScratchyBaws]

Pub near me charges me £2.20 for a pint of orange squash and i'm not joking.

"In Bradford, it's not too bad this area..." Pans across to industrial wasteland.

[@piccalillipit9211]

*15 YEARS IN BULGARIA* I've never missed the UK as much as watching this video... A quiet pint of Sam Smith's in a West Yorkshire Pub. And £2.20 a pint makes it affordable and not a luxury.

[@honestplaces]

Bulgaria aint bad though.....but yeh it's the small things you miss

[@piccalillipit9211]
