First Pub I Went into

Born a Brummie
I knew nothing of pubs as a child but the first pub I ever went into when I was

about 17, with a then boyfriend, was The Peacock at Wythall.

The owner came over and asked my age "17" I replied innocently and honestly, much to

the disgust of the then boyfriend who kicked me! :eek: " Sorry but you are too young to be in

my pub" said the owner and so we had to leave. I was "dumped" that night!!!!!!!!!

We did get back together and marry BUT....................I wish we hadn't!!!!!!! :'(
 
first pub I went into, was the New Inns in Nechells...(can't remember the name of the road).
my best friend Christine's uncle Matt used to live on the road and we wagged school a bit in the summer of '73...
he used to let us hang out at his and his girlfriend's house, to put our make-up on, drink cider and smoke...
I was 2 weeks off 14...
we had been to the off licence to get a bottle of cider, and passed the open door of the pub (it was a lovely hot summer), and some lads playing darts called us in...
I fell in love with one of them...'Robin'
(crumbs, if he reads here I shall be embarrased :-[ ;D)
 
Mine wasn't really a pub..it was the Bar in the Roller Rink up Dudley Rd..I bought my first pint of Lager there..bloody awful..now I mainline it through a drip :)
 
:angel: mazbeth, This was The New Inns Gt Lister St in the 50's & 60's and was also the first Pub I had a drink in aged 18 'Port & Lemon' .

First pub

[FONT=&quot]First pub I went into? Sheesh! I really can’t remember. It’s a toss up between The Norton arms, Tyburn Road, The Swan, Erdington, The Roebuck Erdington, The Acorn (not the Little Acorn re-built on the site) or the Queens Head, Six Ways, Erdington. Wonderful – what was I saying? Oh yes, days! I think. Maybe. Another whatsit? Thingy- oh- beer called for!
