I was thinking it might be a great idea of compiling a list of international worst pubs. You know the type. If on holiday somewhere the one place you do not want to take the wife for a quiet lemonade. We have all done it where you go in a pub and 30 seconds later wish you had not bothered.

They do not need to be rough, dirty rude ect are all valid.

I have a couple of pubs I would recommend in Liverpool that I have not been in for years but were the same for 20 years to my knowledge.

The first is the Eagle & Child in Huyton. This is a real old fashioned blood soaked sawdust on the floor pub. The pool cues was chained to the table. Miss matched chairs as they often get broken. In over 20 years I never once saw this pub without at least one window boarded up. To say there was a a wave of hatred greeting strangers is an understatement.

The next pub down the road was called the Bluebell and I saw people with drugs and guns there say no more. People actually ended up dead outside that place.

Go on give us travellers the heads up where to avoid in your areas. shall be going to Rome and or Milan next year. Any hints?
