OT - Pubs in Chiswick/Hammersmith

Anyone know any good uns? Working down there next week and need something to stop the boredom kicking in. I know there's a couple of the lads on here who live down that way so any advice would be much appreciated

 

Good one a little further south of Hammersmith on the border of Fulham called The White Horse. Good beer menu.

Cheers, food menu looks canny too, doubt they'll have the footy on in there tho!

 

The Salutations close to Hammersmith station might do.

Bit futher away (few stops on tube) but will have footie:

Nice one!

 

There's a few by Hammersmith Bridge I think that are decent, from memory.

 

Loads of good pubs in that area, used to know the guv'nor of the Oxford and Cambridge near Hammersmith Bridge. Irish guy with Geordie family, used to get a good game of darts in there.

 

a decent pub in chiswick is the barley mow, ant and dec used to go there for the matches, until one of them got punched. also a decent pub by acton green station but can't remember the name, the tabernacle is also a good bar also.

good luck this season btw see you 5-7

 

I think there's one or two people (or maybe more) that feel like landing one on the smarmy so and so's.

 

it wasn't me though guv'nor, even though i remember when they used to swan round the lonsdale in Jesmond that people thought they deserved it.

 

Lonsdale isn't there now, pleased they aren't here either.

 

I quite liked the Lonsdale, used to live on Lonsdale terrace, it was better than the stuff down Osborne Road anyway.

have they redeveloped as their was the old building next to it?

also anyone here ever go to the balloon in Benwell?

 

I was in there on Saturday like....

 

Thought it was pulled down with the cinema. Rebuilt?

 

Na it never got pulled down, its still there and always has been tho the cinema is long gone. I think there are plans to build a Sainsburys local where the cinema used to be.

 

Used to know a couple that lived near the Balloon and popped in to see them on the odd occasion, but that was years ago.

 

Baloon is in Fenham isn't it? Either way its a dump!

 

Wasn't always.

 

I just remember as a kid my mam worked there and she always said she didn't want me drinking there when I grew up as it was rough as arseholes!

 

I'm only working a few stops away from that area so if you want to meet for a beer or two next week after work PM me and we'll arrange where and when.
