Pubs

• One word - SHITE - go to Hetton, it's much better!!!!!
• The Sun Inn, Newbottle village. DO NOT go there if you are under 60 and looking for a pleasant night out or a meal. Bar staff are horrendous and rude, waitresses leave alot to be desired and the prices are way too high. Instead for some atmosphere try the Jolly Potters or The Queens Head...
• the comment made about the barmaids in the brit are not true as all the staff are new,and the toilets, do,s not happen.
• jaks and the ivy
• Ah the burn, It was all different in the old days. Some fat fucker with a hump and a twisty face would swing through the bar area, serving even fatter fuckers from Houghton. A new breed now though apparently, might pop down and see if i can get myself a 18yr old stunner with a lazy eye.
• youll find callum n ellie 2 of the greatest local heros in houghton in most of the local establishments 2 people definately not t mess about with they practicaly run houghton single handedly so dint mess about you outsiders or they will be comin for you be warned and aware
• The Burn on Hetton Road is a good pub and serves lovely pub food, but must admit they should have left the pool table in there when it got refurbished, its more like a Wetherspoons now, can only put up with the out of date music and lack of pool for so long on a Friday nite, then its down to the Mill to play pool and dance the rest of the night away. Only problem with that is then you have to walk back up the hill to go home!

• Peefer were the ginga evo sniffers nock a bout ne names though renni nd joe, Not 2 mention the burnside dogs with the ginga hair they call blonde (CAINY). jst stroll down burnside hill just along from peefer and you might see al the binge drinkers with the leader of the mera peak crew our Scott F stoned to bitz of his 2 hit wonder lung.
• brittania-guaranteed to get served as long as you are over 12 the in place to get a strip and a fuck for a fiver
• REGARTING THE DIRTY COW BARMAIDS FROM THE BRIT. THEY WOULDN'T B PINCHING MEN IF THERE WOMEN COULD KEEP TRHEM HAPPY. ITS NORMALLY THE DIRTY MEN CHASING AFTER THE BARMAIDS
• If you're looking for a cheap fuck go to the brit,the majority of the slappers who drink in there will drop their knickers for half a lager
• try the zoo-brit full of alcos slappers and down and outs
• I you like lions you'll love houghton.
• THE ROBBIES, THE BRIT, THE WHITE LION AND THE GOLDEN LION, CHOICES CHOICES

• AHhh the reason ive filled out this form! I cant believe nobody has even mentioned the good old lambton castle at herrington. Now called "The Lambton Castle Fun Pub" to try and get rid of its notorious reputation!! Yeah that worked, maybe they should try n stop the fighting and jerry springer style chair throwing!!! But u can always rely on the bouncers to chuck out the troublemakers .... and then watch the brawl in the car park!! Ahh, its nice to keep the peace
• ho'ton is crap 4 pubs but Hetton can be really good on the right night, try The Crown, The 9, Finnegans, the Brewers, The Bowes, the Shepherds and the Caroline - beats the White really doesn't it!
• No decent pubs left. Bring back Vi in the Golden.
• The new done out Burn - 2.50 for a pint of stella - no thanks try the lambton worm in sunderland - cheaper and better
• NEWS The BURN. is closing to reopen as a Weatherspoons. Yeh.. Great. Cheap Bottles and special offers. also gud fud.
• What's the matter with the Mill? I don't go there myself, but no one has said anything about it. Is it dodgy?
• what can i say, is any pub in houghton actually worth mentioning! the Britani has to be the best for a laugh on kareoki night, just hearing that old goat shrieking and purring down the kareoki gets me going...laughing that is, she is always half cut. The place itself is half rotten and you can always smell the locals rotting away when you walk past the place. Also not both of the toilets in the girls do not have locks on so get a friend to hold the door for you. Try the vodka slushies!
• The Burn, The Mill, all the rest. The Brit and Robbie Burns are the best or Hetton Big Club in Hetton and the 9
• Pop in to the Mill and have a pint hand pulled by Bobby Ewing
• the robbies is a dump now, taking over by the scum of houghton. it once was respectable- happy days
• Great Disco Karaoke at the Robbie Burns Houghton le spring Fri, Sat & Sun Nights
• the white is my local, the snooker club is for trendy puffs and stuck up bitches, the brit and robbies are dives. the big club got knocked down which was fathers local. OAP's best go the Glendale and get the 141 home at half ten, old bastards
• The snooker club is a very nice and friendly place but the manager (derek) is simply a tosser and they pull a shite pint of carlsberg so stick to cans and bottles
• any gueses which pub diane will be working in next its the buffs at the moment(23/5/02)
• Look out for ernie dixon in any pub in houghton! hes always around there somewhere!
• golden exellent for a quite drink, white is good now, brit and robbies still crazy. they seem to be doing something to the old lambton, maybe re-opening, but i bet theyre making private - iflats out of it!
• they all have the essentials "DRINK"
• dont know about pubs but there is plenty of duty frees on the go say no more
• The Sun is class, you'll find yerself talking to some old geezers about 70's music...class!
• It's nice to see that the Lambton is getting a face lift including a new roof. Plenty of pubs such as the Robbie Burns, Brit, White Lion and the Golden Lion in Houghton Centre but with a few miles there are three pubs and a club in Newbottle and numerous pubs in Fence Houses, Hetton-le-Hole and Shiney Row.
• The SNUG and BAR in the Golden Lion is Mecca for fat sad balding losers who still live with their mothers.
• golden lion- great little pub apart from the fart smell you get every night
• the brittania is a nice pub especially on a friday night as it has a good karaoke on and its a good drink
• The queens head again for kids
• the britannia inn - barmaids are dirty cows who pinch your men - but u can even use the toilets now
• houghton comrades, exellent bingo and karaoke nights with brian mcgill
• Theres definitely a FRESH FACED crowd in the Three Tunns on Hetton Road... and The Burn!
• Nutty's place is always good for a party
• The Burns favourite customer Ali Stafford was out on the town last Saturday night. He was spotted on Houghton Rd. in the company of a real cow. He also arranged blind dates for his mates Dean & Deak.
• The 'Golden': the toasties have never been the same and lock-ins as long since Vi but still the best
• In the Burn watch out for the snake carrying battenburg he can be seen rubbing up the barmaids of a Friday evening.
• The Burn Inn is a fine drinking establishment and if you can put up with the new Landlord Alan's tall tails and Mr Ali Stafford's witty farming stiries then you're on to a winner. If you are really adventerous then why not pop in to see the lovely ladies of the darts team on a Tuesday night.
• The Burn - went down hill after Mel left and some nob called Trevor took over - he has gone now, however if you like fast paced entertainment check out Lee Sunter for in the bar area for his ever cheerfulnes and tremendous wit. Also check out Helen Stothard for the lastest gossip and jackinories.
• Plushest - The Spring Inn (good food) on Market Place. All the pubs in the town centre are some sort of Lion; white, golden, red....
• My knowledge of the boozers in the town centre (although I must admit to not being an authority upon the subject) is that they are so bad that no sane person would seriously consider venturing down the street. However, I believe that so canny boozers do exist further out of town.
• who said the Burn serves a good pint must like the taste of their own piss as the pumps are plumbed into the bogs. BRING BACK MEL
• Can't beat the Burn for a good drink!
• Take your pic, - There is the Golden and White Lion, The Brit, The Buffs, The Robbie Burns, All Fine young drinking establishments.
