    Depends on the pub. Give me a quiet pub with an open fire anyday.

    and no TV or pool table.

    Both.

    Either scenario has its charms and suitability.

    I'm currently sitting at home alone. Mrs Rock is in her family home and I'm having pizza chips and a few cans of Beamish.

    I choose what's on the telly.

    I won't lose my seat when I go to the jack's.

    No noise.
    ...and what happens when Mrs Rock comes home? Healthy food, she'll tell you what to put on the TV, and your seat was hers before you even came into the room, or there'll be lots of noise?

    Perhaps the pub is another word for your marriage; noisy and something you'd prefer to avoid?

    Or perhaps you really need to have pints in the pub! :pac:

    I like cans at home but nothing beats pints of draught stout in the pub, just like I’m having now.

    Try west indies guineass at home from bottle chilled in freezer. Better than any draft. Put hair on your chest :) granted better atmosphere out

    I never drink stout from a bottle, awful stuff. Sometimes cans of Guinness but as a general rule I reserve drinking Guinness for the tap, IPA is my home drink. The fact I’m out around twice a week though means I don’t have to wait too long for the next creamy pint.

    No noise.

    Less than €2 a can and a plate of chips from the deep fat fryer for less than a euro.

    Pubs can go to hell.

    Could not agree more

    Dont have to suffer 'experts', I can avoid all liverpool, rugby union and golf, I'm not sick the following day or feeling like I've wasted 100 quid, my clothes dont stink, I can eat whenever I want without having to pay 4 quid for a horrible burger to keep me going. I used to go out all the time when I was younger, now I wonder why I wasted all that time putting up with **** that annoyed me.

    Yep, a pub with no tv I would gladly frequent. Sam Smith pubs in England are perfection. Cheap booze, no telly, full of characters.
    Majority of pubs here are just liverpool jerseys and gambling experts dictating whats on the telly.

    And stating “rugby union” implies that rugby league is, somehow, ok. When we all know that’s just not true.

    Also sounds like skinny Charlie hasn't been to the pub since the smoking ban was introduced.

    Of course not, because Ireland aren't good at it.

    Golf is probably the best sport there is, if you don’t like it I don’t like you.

    Rugby union is a great sport, rugby league is dirt.

    Cure for insomnia. Not suitable for a pub IMO

    It’s superb for pub watching. There is a few of us planning out Easter Sunday night already by the best place to watch the final round of the masters.

    Both rugby codes have their merits IMO, less bum sniffing in league

    At home by far. I drink because I enjoy the beer anyway and the good atmosphere in pubs here died years ago when, all you’ll end up with is listening to some dose **** telling you about their ‘property’ and how many airports they’ve been in. Or a ****er trying to scobe 20 quid off you.

    I just find it too slow and you have to be quiet when it’s on.
    I don’t think that adds to an atmosphere in a pub but I suppose it depends on the type of pub

    Both.

    Although mostly I like to stay home with a nice bottle of red. Nothing like it, complete comfort, fire blazing, nice snacks, good box sets.

    Still enjoy a rare trip to the pub, once a month generally, nice cold pints and ****etalk with friends. Very pricey though...that's the big drawback.

    You should go to better pubs. Drinking at home is better than not drinking but it is not even close to being as good as drinking in a good pub.

    Also betting on it adds a lot of extra interest, I bet on the golf every week.

    Obviously I’d prefer my beer on draught if I could get it, but it still doesn’t make up for all the doses. The good pub experience here was killed by the tiger.

    Yeah, league has less numb sniffing but it also has some good points. The tackling is animal.

    League is rugby for the non privileged. It’s a superior spectacle too.
