Didn't there use to be a pub near the footy ground? The Impartial or something like that.

The Imperial Hotel, now turned into flats I believe. I went on a school trip (14/15 at the time ) to watch some classic film at the ABC and 5 of us enjoyed a pint each at the Imperial; the main reason for us going on the trip. Film was rubbish.

Most of the boozers in top town I frequented In the early 90s, as soon as I had a bit of bum fluff have long gone... Macawbers, Swigs, The Bull Ring, and more recently Chambers. Don't even get me started on the Wheatsheaf (Ember Inn or whatever it is now) All the atmosphere of an airport bar, which is a massive shame as it used to be rocking in there on a Friday night when it was a spit and sawdust pub.
In Cleethorpes...Dapperz Fun Pub, Russell's (had an hilarious lock in there once).
Bags Ball (I know...not a pub) was a quality night out too. Some of the lads I drink with now still rave about their night out in the Bags, following their cricket team's tour of Lincs. One of them was chased off the premises......................... by a woman!

Them pubs ring a bell Withnail, town around the late 80’s and early 90’s was a great day/night out, I was in the Royal Navy at that time and our Saturdays consisted of meeting In The County then onto the White Hart, Vaults, Exchange, Bull ring, P&M, Hadleys and Macawbers then it was a taxi back to my mates to get our trousers on then straight back to Baker Street 😎
I only ever went in the Friar Tuck once, can you remember that one ?

The Friar Tuck was an early favourite of mine. Someone was always sticking a homosexual in the friars mouth on the mural outside. Only time I was ever asked my age was in there by a new barmaid. It was a week after my 18th birthday. When I mentioned that I got daggers from the other barmaid as I'd been going in there for the best part of 2 years then

I don't remember Hadley's and definitely never went in was the Friar Tuck as it was gone by the time I stood any chance of getting served. But I remember the Sherwood Forest scene from endless laps around Freshney Place as a spotty teenager.

When I was a student (the long hot summer of 1976) I worked at Northray-getting there on the Northray bus. In honour of this journey there was a Northray pub crawl which followed part of the route. A half in each of the following pubs meant you'd passed the test. Started in the Cross Keys on Cleethorpes High Street then:- Darleys The Imperial The Clee Park The Humber The Albion Cottees The Kent Arms The White Knight The White Bear The Corporation Cairns The pub close to Wellington St corner- still there forgot its name The Wellington Arms The Oilmillers Arms and finishing in The Duke of Wellington where you had to have a pint of mild (a.k.a slops) All of those pubs are long gone except some on Freeman St and the Duke.
