That's a pretty damning phrase Gedge. Care to elaborate?[/quote]

Okay perhaps I should have said it wasn't quite my cup of tea and I was a bit disappointed.

There was a big screen video juke box thing playing very loud heavy rock and two people were having a very loud (good natured) argument at times from one side of the room to the other.

Walked down the prom to Dariada (sp?) - a haven of peace and sophistication (except when they open the kitchen door and the radio blares out)

Oh no I sound like my dad.

We popped in for one on Saturday night and the place certainly looked clean and fresh. It was very busy in the smoking area but the nice barman let us puff round the corner in the dining area seeing as no-one was in there.
Actually, there was a nice wee doggie having a drink of water!

Agree with Gedge that it was very loud and we too headed off to the Dalriada fairly quickly.

The Tides "used" to have one of the best pints of lager in Porty.
I've never been down since the takeover and probably never will.
I've had enough of the trouble down that street and the spillage onto the Prom and High Street etc.

Bring in Passport Control! :wink:

So itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Saturday 11.10pm and despite the tides inn being informed that they are no longer aloud to have a karaoke, they are having one anyway. This has now stopped with the appearance of six police cars and a police van that make there way to the Tides Inn. No idea whatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s going on other than a large group of young people spilling in to the street in various states of inebriation. This group did disperse quickly and fairly peacefully with load shots that they were going to Lockend for what ever reason. LUCKY LUCKY Lockend. Well done punch pubs your really are living up to your name. This is getting beyond a joke. Thanks for another night of misery. Still at least the Karaoke has ended.
