Rinse? Scoop? Jar?
We all love our local pubs but sometimes a change of scenery can be good for your social life. With this in mind, here are 15 fictional pubs from TV shows and movies, that we would love to have a pint in.
The Winchester from Shaun of the Dead
Lock us in because: Darts, pool and the best jukebox in cinema. My plan for the night? Have a nice cold pint and wait for all of this to blow over. How’s that for a slice of fried gold?
That’s it, we’re leaving: That zombie infestation is a bit of a pain in the arse. To the cellar it is.
O’Leary’s in Father Ted
Lock us in because: We really want to make mud angels with Father Jack.
That’s it, we’re leaving: Fargo Boyle will probably talk your ear off about how good a sheep Chris is. Also, when you want more drink the bar always closes.
The Titty Twister in From Dusk ‘Till Dawn
Lock us in because: The entertainment is great and it seems like the type of place where the rules don’t apply. It’s the very definition of bandit country.
That’s it, we’re leaving: (Vampire) Nibbles are only served when the sun goes down.
Bob’s Country Bunker from The Blues Brothers
Lock us in because: The entertainment is so good that it’s sent from god.
That’s it, we’re leaving: The locals clearly don’t appreciate good music or showmanship.
The Pub from In Bruges
Lock us in because: Two hit-men, an actor, cocaine, beers and a very lovely prostitute all add-up for an interesting evening.
That’s it, we’re leaving: The conversation does take a strange turn towards the Vietnam War. Back off, shorty!
Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars
Lock us in because: Jedi’s, bounty hunters and strange aliens. What’s not to love?
That’s it, we’re leaving: We don’t want to get into an argument about who shot first.
Kavanagh’s Pub in The Wire
Lock us in because: I would give my left liver to go drinking with Bunk and McNulty. Then again, this liver would probably be useless after a night out on the tiles with Baltimore’s finest ‘natural police’.
That’s it, we’re leaving: To be fair, it’s impossible to leave any bar that always plays The Pogues. The only acceptable reason to pop outside is if you’re like Bunk and have to puke in the alley.
Comrades in Wayne’s World
Lock us in because: We really hope that The Shitty Beatles are playing.
That’s it, we’re leaving: The locals can be strange. Take Milton for example who tells us “I hate my father. I hate my life. But I feel great! You guys are great. I’m gonna go pick a fight”.
Tino’s from Anchorman
Lock us in because: Improv jazz flute is incredible.
That’s it, we’re leaving: The owner will try and feed you cat poop, as seen below.
Cheers from Cheers
Lock us in because: Everybody knows your name.
That’s it, we’re leaving: Cliff is starting to talk crap about the postal service again.
The Nags Head from Only Fools and Horses
Lock us in because: The locals like Del Boy, Rodney and Trigger are absolutely hilarious.
That’s it, we’re leaving: We clearly didn’t play it nice and cool son, nice and cool.
The Mother Black Cap from Withnail and I
Lock us in because: We demand booze!
That’s it, we’re leaving: Nobody likes to be called a perfumed ponce.
The Snakehole Lounge from Parks and Recreation
Lock us in because: We want to party with Tom Haverford, Jean Ralphio and Ron Swanson.
That’s it, we’re leaving: Snakejuice can really f**k you up.
Moe’s Tavern in The Simpsons
Lock us in because: You never know what the hell is going to happen.
That’s it, we’re leaving: The FBI have been known do drop in for the occasional raid.
Paddy’s Pub from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Lock us in because: It’s the greatest place in the world and here’s the proof and even more of it.
That’s it, we’re leaving: We’ll only leave Paddy’s if we’re dead.
