I'll tell you what I like about this bloke. He doesn't deliberately go out of his way to piss people off like some other CZcamsrs who think filming makes them untouchable. Nice down-to-earth personality and respectable to other people. Well done mate keep it up.
Cheers pal, really appreciate that 👍
Yeah and his comments section is good as well. Not toxic. Seems to have attracted decent people. 👌
Cracking sense of humour as well...very dry!
Agreed 👍🏻 Nice to see he doesn't feel the need for all the "i'm a really nice guy" virtue signalling too. Kindness in return for views/ad revenue really irritates me and i'm glad he told that woman "i can't". Refreshing.. 😂
Here here I agree down to earth & factual info no bullsh----t the sort of bloke you could have a pint with
Well isn't this a nice surprise! Thanks for visiting us Danny and we're glad you enjoyed your pint of Guinness in a place we're proud of. If you ever want to come and experience some bands or our nightlife, just get in touch and we'll figure it out :)
Yeh i wasn't staying long unfortunatly. Love a good pub with personality and loved my quick pint in there 👍 Thanks for giving my dog some treats also 🤣🍺
Getting pretty addicted to these vids. The castle looked like a class dive/local music venue.
Keep up the good work pal.
Cheers pal, yeh deffo one of the best on the channel
NO I THINK NOT.
Its like Pakistan/India with a British touch 😃
What bugs me about pubs is that a lot of bar staff won't make eye contact or acknowledge you when you walk to the bar. They almost deliberately look anywhere but your direction.Then when they are free they say 'whose next?' after standing waiting like a plum for 10 minutes to get served on a week day, well if you paid attention you'd see who was next. That's why it's great to get table service. That was a lovely welcome.
You sound like an annoying mong, maybe thats why you don't get served
The rise in smartphone usage has caused people’s social skills to plummet. It’s one of the most serious problems facing humanity that isn’t being addressed.
whos next is the greeting at my local pub, used to be what would sir like, plus NONE of the staff interact with the customers
Funny thing is. Within a few miles lies some of the most expensive places to live in the UK. Harpenden, St Albans etc.
Same with most places init
Nice welcome in the Castle, makes a huge difference when you walk into an unknown Boozer
Yeh. 100% mate
State of this place I went in last night, silence, moody staff everyone staring it was so bad was out of there before I finished my pint (it was shite anyway) Luckily was in about 7 great pubs before that 😆worst atmosphere I've ever seen. It's the last pub on the way back to the station apparently last time I said I'd never go in again but didn't remember for obvious reasons
@@realmyka Great Northern is good on the left back to the station!
used to live in luton for 8 years and the castle is one of the good pubs in the town centre, try the george by the train station or the jolly toppers also a nice pub
Yeh afew people said those pubs too 👍🍺
I've been to most places in the UK, never set in foot in Luton though, don't think I'm missing out too much.
Nah not worth the visit
luton is not the UK
Penthouse apartment overlooking FarmFoods! 😂😂😂😂
Best of the best
That Castle pub looked quality!
I lived in Luton around 1989 great drinking town, lot's of Irish pubs 🇮🇪 the arndale center and market still looking busy
Been binging your videos for a while now. Something about seeing run down spit and sawdusts that aren't where I live is proper appealing lol. Class act mate keep at it👊
Cheers pal, really appreciate it
"Coffin there... if I've too many Guinness" 🤣 By far my favourite channel these days. You've got a really good personality for it too - nothing too biased or overly opinionated, but at the same time, fair judgement - complimentary when deserved, critical when needed. I love how the roughest of places are often full of the loveliest locals and barstaff. Honest places, as you say! Give me a shout if you are ever going to brave the pubs of Belfast lol Cheers for another great video dude.
Brilliant videos, really enjoying them cheers!!
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Took a drink every time he says "Cheeky" in his videos. Now i need an AA meeting 🤣😛 Another great video mate. Keep em coming.
Did i really say it that much? 🤣
That was a CHEEKY comment 🤪
I can't unhear "half decent" 😂
Recent subscriber and really enjoying the videos. A great combination of having a nose in (mostly) places I’ve not visited and a cheeky beer or five.
Or 5 🤣 cheers pal
Flames used to be The Wellington. My old regular. Was part of the darts team years ago. So many laughs!!
As a Luton local I’m glad you came down and gave us our time to shine . The castle is not too bad and is about the only thing going for us .
you Live in heaven mate .. trust me im from Middlesborough ... lol.
Luton used to be great
But so did many English towns. They like the country itself is an overpriced immigrant fcking shithole.
That pub looked like my sort of place. I think you've made me want to visit the town. thanks 👍
The Castle Is actually alright. It's where the outsiders which are way nicer and cooler then the standard Luton people go for a night out. We stumbled upon it when we had to stay the night in Luton once
Wish i went late at night
I had a good feeling about "The Castle" glad you went in there looks a good boozer!
My band played at the Castle about 15 years ago, nice little rock pub
Bet band night is bangin
Love watching you.what a world we are living in.And you are so nice to people.❤
Luton is indeed grim. Had to go there with work last year a few times. Even on a sunny day with a clear blue sky it looked a dump. Nothing pleasant about the place at all. It has everything you don’t want.
Feel everyone says that 🤣
Luton is the best town in the world, only far right racists complain about the Great town of Luton
Best pub in Luton is the Bricklayers Arms in the High Town area two minutes walk from the station.
Dingy?
I used to like the gardeners call too 🍺
@@markspencer9165 good shout and the Painters for the best Guinness
i have never been this early, hello from new zealand love the videos mate
Early bird! Better viewing time for you over there!
9pm Friday night so not bad at all 👌
Great Video again mate 👍👍 That Castle pub looks class. We have a similar sort of pub on the Wirral called Molly Chambers
Cheers pal, yeh proper boozer
Love a walk around Luton once in a while. Very humbling.
In the morning before the riff raff
These videos will catch on mate brilliant viewing
Hope so! Cheers pal 👍
Glad to see what The Castle looks like inside! Stayed in Luton a night on way back from very late flight and exhausting travel. We went to pub opposite The Castle to eat and it was early. Will have to check out The Castle next time and when it's open! We did visit The Wheelwright Arms and that was pretty nice, though.
Thanks for sharing mate you do some good videos all the best from me in Birmingham 😊
Cheers pal 👍
From Glasgow to Luton, that’s a well travelled path by many.
Fuel bill is a joke 🤣
@@honestplaces 😆
Used to go to the castle pub along with the George 2nd during my uni days can’t believe it’s changed a lot
Looks half decent, few pints in there you'll forget you're in Luton.
That's the idea 🤣
Good to see you a bit further south sir
Took ages to get there 😭
Used to live in Luton many years ago and The Castle was one of my go to boozers. Probably the most thriving pub in town mainly due to catering to the alternative crowd
Yeh looks like it's bangin at night
Good vids a proper drop of Guinness there .. !
Good on you for not being one of those annoying people who deliberately get a rise of people. You just the places, and how they behave, and give honest feedback on how the pubs were, and you seem absolutely down to earth. Good on you pal for growing a good following, and the community is pretty good as well. Cheers to you mate
The Castle is a great pub/venue. Does a great deal of good for the live music scene. I was a regular there when I lived in Luton and still go when I can.
If you liked the rock theme pub in Luton. You have to see the Yardbirds club in Grimsby after a couple of pints in Freeman Street. Rough as hell pubs then great music, great beer and above all great welcome at the Yardbirds. Run by bikers who actually built the place up from scratch but you won't meet more genuine people anywhere. Yes they do serve Guinness and once you know someone in there you can guarantee a 'What's yours mate' from someone you met 5 minutes ago.
That Castle Boozer looks the business. The Solid Rock in Glasgow is a great hard rock/metal boozer. 🤘
Yeh was boss. Missed that in glasgow 😭
@@honestplaces Next time maybe. The good in there is shit hot too.
Another honest review nice one pal roll on the next one 🎉🎉
Cheers pal 👍
If you like the Castle - You'll LOVE the Crew in Nuneaton.
It bangin?
I lived in Luton for 7-8 years growing up, used to go to the Purley Tavern on a Friday night, ahhhh the memories 😊
Marsh Farm?
Yeah, or The Favourite in sundown park
@@DanDanColeman85 i remember the Purley Centre
Best pub on earth
@@DanDanColeman85both long gone flattened now, many others too.
Another great video. 👍
Cheers pal, appreciate it
Give Northampton a go, pretty run down but the Wellinborough road near the centre has over 10 pubs on about a 1 mile stretch.
Sounds a sesh that!
I grew up next to Hockwell Ring (Vincent Rd) in the early sixties through to the early seventies. If you were looking for trouble you would get it in The Man on Wheels in Hockwell Ring.
The castle I’ve visited many a time years ago. Try out neighbouring Dunstable - but nights out there are edgy, never felt comfortable drinking in Dunstable
Love your videos man, would of loved to of given you some pointers for Luton. A great pint of Guinness in hightown, the painters arms. 👍🏽💪🏽
Great video
Cheers pal
One of the biggest dirt pits in Britain Luton without a doubt.
Not far off
The xchange was banging back in the day. Spent many an hour queuing up that wall along the ABC.
Love your channel geezer
Cheers pal
Decent channel this and you go about it really well and respectful. Refreshing to see!! The Bricklayers is the best pub in Luton and the best ale too. The Black Horse ain't too bad......btw, Luton is deffo not in London (despite what the airport says) :-) keep up the good work pal!
The Castle. Decent.
Great videos lad. What camera or mount do you use for the shots of yourself?
Dji pocket 2 lad
@@honestplaces sound, seems to do the trick. Indoors footage is grand too, though that's a different device is it not. I seen you have one mounted on your chest.
Anyway, it's good dynamic footage and you capture the atmosphere well. Cheers
Looks like Afghanistan
It aint that good 🤣
@@honestplaces the weather is better over there!
Love this channel. Respect, he’s putting his liver on the line so that we don’t have to waste our time visiting places. Gladly donate to the channel so yoi can have a pint on me 💪🏻
🤣🤣🤣 liver holding out upto now
@@honestplaces legend mate. Cheers for taking the time to reply as well. 🍺
Yep definitely looked a decent pub that!
Was pal, even better on a weekend!
Good Video that Pal
Cheers pal!
Another great video pal👍🏻 Looking forward to the Jaywick one! While you're in Essex you should take a trip down here to sunny Southend on Sea! I'll give you a heads up on where to go for a pint🍺
Cheers pal, shot back up north but will be back down in the summer lad
@@honestplaces Nice one, cheers pal and keep up the good work👍🏻
£1 goes towards a Guinness that... ffs i just spat my coffee out all over my dashboard, cheers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can't be giving out freebie's 🤣
She may have offered you a hand shandy for it? 😂 @@honestplaces
@@honestplacesBrutal. 🤣
Down to earth bloke says it how it is IV just started following this fella he's👌👌👌
Cheers pal. Appreciate it
Went to a gig at The Hat Factory couple of years ago, pub opposite that was decent George 2nd I think it’s called, Castle was great as well!
I've worked all over the UK for the last 25 years and there's not many places I haven't stayed or visited and Luton is easily the worst place I've ever been.
Jesus. That is a statement
Where I'm from ain't great, but yeah Luton is pretty grim.
Good to see you down south mate! Just so you know Luton is not in London as your description suggests, It's in the county of Bedfordshire, it just has ties to London because of the airport (which is only called London Luton Airport because of it's close-ish proximity to London) Keep the vids coming bro 👊
Need to change that name 🤣
A bit like Glasgow Prestwick 😂
@@honestplaces It’s stupid lol in fact there’s a whole bloody county (Hertfordshire) in between Luton and London, but it is still close especially for tourists coming from bigger countries
Less than 30 miles from London's centre. And Luton is closer to parts of London than some parts are to others. In many definitions it counts as part of the greater London region
Used to drink in the Moon & Sixpence in Stopsley. For a boy from Frankston, Australia, it felt like home. Come On You Hatters! 🎩😎
You know you are watching an Honest Places video when you hear these key words or phrases:
Dingy Pub
Dodgy Place
Mooch About
Pick up your Rubbish
Let’s see what’s Kicking off
Hit all 5 and shout Bingo
Come to preston, some rough pubs full of characters there. Bears paw, barney's piano bar and the golden Cross to name a few. All properly rough and nasty
As posh ūberdik Lloyd Grossman used to say ‘who’d live in a place like this?’
Alright pal, have you checked out Hartlepool and Horden? Pretty ropey round there would make a good video or two 👍🏼
Nah, been as a kid but heard it aint the best!
I used to be a barman at the exchange about 18 years ago. It was always busy on a Friday/ Saturday night but had started to die down about a year or two after I’d left.
Crazy it still looks like that after all this time
What’s name of song when you put empty guinno down?
Good night from Australia 🇦🇺
Take it easy pal 👍🍺
How much was the pint? Intrigued to know how much a pint in Luton is compared to central London
Think it was like £5 😬
I once stayed the night in Luton as I had an early morning flight. I popped out for a few beers and something to eat and I swear to god I saw seven different piles of sick in a couple of hours.
Typical week day that 🤣
@@honestplaces You should do Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester.....now that is a shit hole (I managed to escape over a decade ago! 😂)
The castle looks a top boozer
Got to come to Wolverhampton mate. Some great city centre pubs.
Any good?
@honestplaces Posada, The Giffard, Duke of York, The Wheatsheaf, Great Western. The Plough and Harrow would be right up your street too. A few gooduns outside town and all.
Avoid on matchdays!
I live in wolves you should visit most depressing place in England... nobody on the streets can speak English
@glynsmith5508 What bollocks 🤣
Have to say pub looked decent cheers 🍺 bud
That's ME sat at the table lol
Famous now 🤣
@@honestplaces Weird shit happens to me all the time. I just had the video link pop up on Facebook ffs
Center of Luton looks alright not rough or nothing tbf
about 15 years back luton had an alright night scene... its dead now... castle has always been fairly decent... i used to work as a doorman at flame over a decade ago... was great back then but its gone right down hill in recent years
Love ya channel bro, you should give lowestoft a whirl !!
Cheers pal 👍
You might enjoy the Fighting Cocks rock pub in Kingston upon Thames
Was gonna go there but opted for luton. But alot of people have said that
Went to Legends in Tipton yesterday think it would be right up your street
How do you pick where to go, Luton seems a bit random lol
Wake up and decide
My kind of pub 😎
Bangin
I'm sure we're from the same part of Manchester, you talk just like my lads... 😊
Stockport pal
@@honestplaces my youngest is living in Stockport.
I’ll tell you, you are a great CZcamsr...I live near Luton....Bedford is worse....do there....I’ll meet you there for a beer!!
Could u come down to Gillingham or Chatham lol some rough pubs down this way
Never thought of there 🤔
Sugar loaf on a friday night/day is lively but awesome home cooked food daytime if you ever return.
Jaywick is great and the Boozers are great! If you get to speak to Danny Sloggett that would be good as well :)
Try Rochdale town center on a week day afternoon....Go on, I dare you.
Going to, not far from me that
Ah mate, I am not far from Luton, you missed some decents pubs, I would have given you a tour! 😁
I know mate, was driving init, need to do a night there 👍🍺
The expression kicking off means fighting so you should say let's go an see whats going on
Football kicks off, gigs kick off. It just means something or an event is starting, not necessarily fighting.. lol
Cheers for the back-up 🤣
@@Nickmk6one mostly fighting though lol
@@garyrigby21 Handbags 🤣
@@Nickmk6one in pub lingo, it only means one thing - fighting!
it was a doss hole in mid 90s boss. spent three years three as ex-polytechnic in town feel sorry for folks live there. Grim
Right joint.
You know it
Come to Exeter bro. Cavern Club, Sidwell Street. You will love it.
They bangin?
@@honestplaces Oh yeah, dingy but good. Good band venue as well. It's underground (literally). There's also a lot of homeless in the high street these days as well for a variety of reasons I'm sure. Not sure if you've visited down south yet. Could be a good one to check out.
Brilliant videos mate .looking forward to seeing more ,be careful in these towns the locals dont take kindly to infidels you will be a minority ,
Cheers pal...i can run fast 🤣
Looks pretty decent, considering I'm from Bedford 😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!!!
