On any particular night, in 9 out of 10 bars I'm the oldest bloke there.

I used to think 'f**k, I'm clearly too old for this', but nowadays I think 'ya beauty, I've outlasted all those old bastards I used to drink with'.

So what makes a good bar for the over 40's?

Well obviously a good age range of customers - I'm fed up drinking in places where I'm automatically assumed to be a dirty old bugger just because everywhere I look I can't help but be leering at girls 25 years younger than me! (many of whom have recently taken to wearing hotpants to add to my problems)

I also like reasonable priced drinks, without the emphasis on a range of poncy 'Strumpfengarter with a hint of Citrus and Rosewater' beers - the type other URBarred contributors seem to like.

And I do like some decent music - the Fumes, Mystic Shoes and Arthur are all good examples.

Dum-de-diddly, dum-de-diddly, dum-de-diddly di - repeat for 28 mins and pause for applause. Some of the music is dire, pretentious claptrap.

Have stumbled into the Friday night Karaoke a couple of times recently - I don't think it's quite as bad as other contributors make out. Mind you, the quiz machine's one of those 'just play for fun' ones - don't you hate that.

On 08 July 2007 about The Room...

You know, this venue should get a damn site more credit than it does. Music most nights, and bloody good bands like Arthur and the Mystic Shoes. Tonight I saw The Fumes, (previously The Stir) and they were bloody good. (especially with FF's 'Take Me Out')

Why oh why don't they tell URBarred about what's on?, or at least set up their own website?
