Training ground

Lived local to it for most of my life, and I can count on one hand, the amount of times I've been in there.

The doorway is unwelcoming to anyone over 6 feet tall.
Had a similar thing with The Horse and Jockey. Lived near for around 40 years in the first 30 or so years went in around half a dozen times. The last 7 or 8 until it shut it became our local after vacating the Broadway. Hitting
Although I was abroad For some of this time.
 
Used to live close to the Double Six pub in Turlin Moor. The doorway was unwelcoming to anyone one who didnt live within a two minute radius.
I know of somebody who went in their in full punk gear - mohawk, studded leather, bondage trousers.

The landlord served him, and said "fair play for coming in here dressed like that - but if you ever do again I shall kick the **************** out of you!".

Went in there once to play pool and some miserable old fart spent the entire evening complaining about young people in his pub. To be fair I was 16.
