On my most recent trip to Worthing over Easter great to see a re emergence of some great bars in the case of the Wandering Goose and the libertine. About time
I remember the good old days of the Fountain, once back at 6th form we had our Xmas bash in there unofficial of course and it spilled over into chapel road and the police had to called they had to shut the pub down for a few hours whilst we were dispersed - ended up in Cloisters - Made the...
I thgought Worthing was agreat place to grow up and i was always on the town from 94/95 onwards up until about 4/5 years ago when i moved over to Lewes then up North.
As for more lowlifes and Chavs i think a - its the same for anywhere and B- you notice it more as you get older.
Didn't the Bristol and West building society on Chapel Road used to be a pub... The ship or something, before my time but i remeber my Dad saying something about it.
Used to quite like it in there often popped in on way to Rutherfords if we'd been in Cloisters - Anyone remember the dodgy steep stairs down to the toilets though - accident waiting to happen after a few too many ales.....
The castle - on the corner by the Co-op is quite good bit of a wander well 10 mis but worth it - opposite what used to be Flappers -Which i was upset to see has been knocked down!!!!!
On the corner small littel place, got chucked out for being underage - when i was - never went back seemed alright until i was refused service at the bar.
Used to quite like the Brunswick - quite cheap and pool table was free some nights. My mate always used to tell me it was a scottish pub never believed him but was he right?
Burleys by the burlington hotel anyone - that irish bar thats now a chinese used to be quite good if only for the reason it was called The craic - so you could childlishly laugh with your mates about going up the Craic.
Our friday saturday night at 18 11 years ago now! used to consist of - Wine Lodge, Towns Pride, Thieves, Warwick, Frog Pond - then the wonderful Rutherfords. As we got older things evolved dropping or adding pubs as we went.
