Worst Pub in Perth?

[CitizenD]

Probably a few years now, but I'm there every few weeks on average. It's not a patch on what it was.

Oh yeah, I had a barmaid spit in my face there about 12 months ago. Granted it was an accident, but then she overcharged me for the drink.

Stop whingeing it's posts (opinons) like these that turn places like bobby dazzlers- bacon sarnies and pints of carlton dry
Into fuckin (wretch) boheme with an arrow above the first e serving chicken and avacodo crepes with a midi of some unheard of organic shite for the office jockey crowd.
There was a time when bars were the staple of working class men, Now it seems they're the meeting place of SNAGs, Office jockeys and metrosexuals.
Go and fuxx yourselves if you can't handle a semi unhygenic mens room or a bit of bad language, Go and get a latte at the coffe club.
I'm the first to complain about a shit pint or feed but a bar is a bar not gastronomic journey which is half the trouble with these places, Take for instance the Gate bar and bistro with nothing on the menu that is simple it can't just be a burger, It has to be a fuxxin burger with rocket salad and all the rest of the shite chips are'nt chips they're crinckle cut selected fanny taties in gluten free olive oil.
Mount Henry tavern does what it says on the tin as I'm sure do a few others please let me know.

Spot on
Harden up princesses or stay in your apropriatly named Queens type bars
Plastic people with plastic cards trying to out metro one anouther.
I like the commen people
City people seam same world over, Glass hollow faces full of self .

Many of the places listed here are fine, Dare I say its the judgemental would be patrons running from scary things where the problems lie.

There's a difference between a good honest, unpretentious suburban pub and an absolute hovel though isn't there?

I don't think we're all on here wishing for every local watering hole to become a wanky, metro trend-spot but there's no excuse for keeping an unhygienic shithole with dirty beer either.

[shan]

shithole with dirty beer either

When you point it out like that then OK
I will shut up now.
After reading so many pub rants it got me defensive admitadly.
I love pubs, as a culture , as a barometer on the local area.
ICannot stand however pubs that dont clean there lines properly

I really am getting old. There's no such thing as a bad pub, just bad clientelle. Anywhere you can get a coldie when you need it, without some upstart young turd starting any trouble, is ok in my book. Some of my favourite haunts (back in the days) were the Kewie, the Carousel, the Rangie, the Ascot & the Redcliffe. It's a lot harder these days to find a real workers bar where you dont have to be wearing lip gloss to get in.

A mate of mine's old man owns the Redfern...
I've been in there once, but that was about 4 years ago..

You promised you would never tell anyone about our special night...

If you like dueling banjos, then the Beldon Tavern is worth a look.

Parkerville Tavern went downhill a couple of years ago and has stayed there. Some new people who seem to have no idea how to run a pub took over running the pub. Service went to shit, prices went up, the staff that were rude were kept. On a St Patrick's day they had advertised a special, then forgot to tell all of their staff about it. They got argumentative as well. Only gave a refund after we went home and got the advert to shove it in their face.
There was one "senior" staff member who was constantly swearing at everyone.

Tl;dr service became terrible, prices went up too much. It now caters for a group of bogans who love their jacks and skimpies.

[Rips]

Thats a shame i loved the parkerville when we had the chidlow place, it was one of the few places you could pick up a decent country girl for a bit of fun on a sunday arvo

Just noticed The Northwood Ale House mentioned in a thread as possibly one of the worst pubs in Perth dating back 5 years.
My wife and I took over this business in 2009 and have recently spent $600,000 on renovations and additions. It is a vastly changed venue and we invite all members and readers of this site to come down and check out the new Northwood Ale House.
Thank you,
John

I worked in the Bottleshop here 10 years ago, and yeah was rather shite. The owners at the time tried but too may dodgy people around the area for it to ever be a good place to go.

Thanks for replying. It is certainly not dodgy now. We have been here nearly 3 years and i spent at least the first 12 months taking on and getting rid of the dodgy ones, including car park riff raff.
Don't tolerate crap from patrons nor allow unwanted pests in our car park.
It is a vastly changed pub and environment.
Come down and see for yourself!

[Brougham]

well, i guess our google search tools are still working fine...

I'm talking about 10 years ago John, props to you for having a go to make it a decent place to go. I suppose in the last 10 years the Homeswest quota in the area has gone down and more ppl investing in the area as its relatively cheap still???

Whats happening in the Kitchen these days? There was a whingy lousy excuse for a chef running it when I was there.

The Ambassador.
I can handle the crusty old stuck to the seat sadfolk, but everyone here looks like they are on meth.

Thankfully the wheels were still on my car after using the drive-thru bottleshop.

I like a sausage as much as anyone, but bloody hell theres more sausage at the subi on a friday night than I can handle.
