- I go for a pint in a pub where going on your phone or any social media is banned and if caught you get kicked out! This is to force you to talk to your mates or other people just like how a real pub should be!
There is no music, no tv's....just cheap beer and a chit chat!

The pub was empty but there were still more likeable characters than you will find on any social media. 👍
100% mate 👍🍺
middle of the day, people are at work
as if that stops the alcoholics@@spongebobsquaretits
ban birds with fake lips as well @@honestplaces
@@spongebobsquaretits 🤪... Seriously...it's wednesday 😁
Dude drinking at the bar already had a liver full.
Getting hella naughty
Solid
Such a long time since i heard that expression 😆
No swearing policy... 'Bloody hell' best slip-up of the day 😂😂😂
I think that's borderline 🤣
freedom off speech we can't have that in here
Beat me to it 😂
When even words like crap were deemed to be swearing in school, I'm pretty sure we can considered bloody and hell swear words. If it doesn't pass the "I could say this in front of my grandma" test it's swearing.
@@torquetheprisoner even in america, private properties have the right to kick you off their property for any reason at all including swearing if they wanted.
My kinda pub. Good beer, good company, nice surroundings. I fully support the no phones, no swearing, etc.
All that is needed
Fuckin boring !
Me too
Should be allowed to fucking swear at least. Fuck.

You cant beat a proper old fashioned British boozer. You will meet people that you never knew existed. You can become friends with strangers and listen to their stories over a pint. It’s just a friendly atmosphere and an all round great experience. Please don’t let this tradition disappear, it’s ingrained into British culture. This is how our country was built. 🇬🇧
True mate 👍
They aren't special. They're just full of bar flies and alcoholics aren't characters. Just lost people who will drag you down to that level
Spoken like a true conservative. Get down the pub with the lads and have a laugh.@@user-qn9xj9bu7v
It is good sometimes to do that I see what you’re saying but cmon you’re acting like they’re best people ever. they’re loser alcoholics tbh who have bs story’s how they nearly made it or things what never happened .
British ‘culture’ is lonely alcoholics😂
Thats my kind of pub. No twats shouting loudly on mobile phones. Its called going for a "quiet pint" for a reason. I hope he bans all the kids as well lol.
Quiet pint....exactly 👍🍺
If the trainee drinkers went there it would be a good start for the merits of Real Ale & how to behave in public.
People having real conversations
Miss those days
And dogs, sniffing round ya arse!!!
I bet couples don't go in there as it would mean they would have to talk to each other instead of staring at their phones. 😁
I had to talk to mrs in there once....left her after that 🤣
You what! My missis never stops talking at me wherever we are 😂
Or anyone under 30! @PeterChelmsford
😂
best slogan "we have no wifi - talk to each other like it's 1994 "
hell i seen young people in love sitting next to each other and send mess instead of talking nowadays
Shame init. Good quote that
@@honestplaces yeah the hours we sat before smartphones and talked about things over a coffee or a beer..
Now its only short mess and emoji.. i think we humans lost something there.
The human connection
@@gmm5550 yup 100%. People make no effort to actually see each other nowa days
@@gmm5550 Don't lose hope too soon for the younger generation. I'm 20 now grew up with computers and smartphones etc. but I and a lot of my friend my age detest the things now.
I am very fortunate to have a girlfriend who only uses her phone when we're together for critical things, we go out and talk for hours and never post anything about it. CZcams is the only "social media" I use now aside from texting for vital information, it may be anecdotal but I keep hearing more and more people around me either limiting usage or giving it up completly.
My parents are almost 60 and my mum can't stay off her phone at all even when we're talking sometimes, she never learned how to be responsible with usage because it just wasn't a thing for her growing up, she used to read loads of books because she had nothing else to do when the weather was bad but now she just plays candy crush or games similar to it.
Unfortunately most people are too far gone to go back now.
Bar man seemed like a top bloke - being honest and knowledgeable about the beers he was serving - very rare these days.
Yeh that is rare pal, nice to get the low down on pints 👍🍺
Mate that pub looks like my type of place. Chill atmos, no social media bollocks, friendly people and cheap Samuel Smith beer. Perfect!!
Yeh mate it is good, busy later on too so good crack
and no customers, pub culture is dying
@@kitezzz360 Not so in my area. It's booming. It's the family-friendly, dog-friendly "pubs" that are struggling. I encourage more pubs to embrace traditional values.
Nah mate it's crap, the one near me used to be a lively locals pub and now is always empty.
He says, while on said social media bollocks...!
Jukebox and pool table is all we had/needed.
Dont forget the dart board.
Yeh....jukebox would be a nice touch
Come on:::!!!!!! A dart board is all you need
And before pool tables became a thing we had bar billiards and if the pub was large enough it might have a skittle alley.
Great idea. One way to bring the art of conversation back
100%
Cheers for this dude. This pub review thing is right up my street. As I've said before, think you are on to a winner with this content. I really enjoy pub-culture and I love that you are documenting these kinds of real community hubs. The statistics on pubs that are shutting in the UK are grim. They are actually the burning ember of light left in some communities which are themselves otherwise grim. I hope that people remember our great pub culture and that people like you help to encourage people to never be afraid to venture into a pub, no matter how they look on the outside. These days, they need all the business they can get. Said it before, but if you are ever over in Northern Ireland hit me up for spots to check out, both the good, the bad, and the ugly lol. Cheers and keep it up. Fast becoming one of my favourite channels, and I've recommended to many friends. Usually while havin' a pint! 🍻
No swearing policy 🤦🏻♂️
Your response.. Bloody hell! 😆
🤣....that aint swearing....i think
Got thrown out of a real ale pub in York for swearing. It's one thing I think you should be able to do in a pub
@Embracing01 I get it in "family pubs" but I don't go in them. Boozers are for adults
@@ryanfoy4585Agreed, I don’t drink much in the day anymore because of the atmosphere being ruined by little Chavlets running around the place!
I would ban Fake Tan from my pub if I had one, because that’s what all the louts (or their missuses) all seem to wear.
Give me a local back street pub over a city centre place any day. Local folk, friendly and some good beers, whats not to like. £2.20 a pint.....fill your boots lad!
Exactly right mate! All the way 👍🍺
There is a cracking place in Halifax called the Three Pigeons. Short walk from the train station on the main road but near industrial units but the pub is fantastic. You would never think such a great pub would be placed in that area. 100% recommend it if you are ever close by. Loads of local ales and dark beers and friendly punters mate.@@honestplaces
@@jamiesmith8042 Agreed. I go in the *Three Pigs* - as we call it - often. It's an Ossett brewery pub and is fabulous inside, very old art-deco and yes, some friendly locals.
It does get very busy though on match days when the local footie/rugby teams are playing at home. Not that that's a problem.
Oh, and not being a Sam Smiths pub, you can use your phone, if you wish :)
@@jamiesmith8042 not far from halifax me....will check it out when i get around to going there 👍🍺
It's actually on the Main road not a back street. He just walked round the houses rather than just crossing the road from the Train station ..😂😂😂😂
Should be standard in all pubs!
I agree
"I don't like smartphones so all pubs should ban them"
I worked in a Sam Smiths pub for many years.
Great beer, great pub.
What some customers would do is buy half a Taddy Lager (4.5% - £2.30 a pint) and half an Alpine (2.9% - £1.40 a pint) in the same pint glass for £1.85 a pint.
The bitter drinkers would mix half a mild (1.34 a pint) with half a Sovreign Bitter (2.04 a pint) for a pint of mixed for £1.69 a pint. Happy days.
All Sam Smiths beer is rocket fuel and is stronger than advertised.
Some stingy trick that....cheap enough as it is 🤣
Did you run the fighting cocks caroline.
Absolutely brilliant. We need more of these pubs.😊
Back to the old days, brilliant ❤
You know it
Yes please.
2 "Bloody 'ell!"s before you decided what to drink. Lol
🤣
Tyrant to work for. In our area he's shut 4 pub's. He also drinks in Heywood Wetherspoons. And yes he's on his phone..
What a sell out 🤣
Yeah I've heard he's a hypocrite 🤦🏾♀️
You can't get your phone out but you can use the app on it to pay for the drinks. Madness and I'm sending this message from inside a sam smiths boozer under the table 😂😂😂😂
@stephenellis4758 He drinks in the Edwin Waugh?!
Yes , his visits are legendary!
I'm a massive fan of the no swearing rule too. I'm no prude and I'm guilty of swearing a lot sometimes but I think this kind of rule helps keep people civilised. So many pubs (one near me included) is just loud, with people shouting, swearing, being abrasive etc
Yeh i get it.....swearing can slip out but i hate people who say it every other word
Booze and swearing go together like ham and cheese.
@glynhayes5930 they do. But as the other guy says that whole mentality then slips out into other areas, and thag ain't good.
I'm no puritan, but deffo think sometimes that the sam smiths model should be the norm
I use my phone to avoid awkwardness.
This pub would crank up my social anxiety lol
£2.20! I wish I had prices like that down south! haha - That pub looks like a nice little boozer! Nice video.
It was decent pal....afew gems up north 👍 appreciate it pal
We do i live in sussex spoons tho..
Yea 😂 sown here average 5£ pint
What a fantastic idea! So many more pubs should do this. Please!
Every pub should!
@@honestplaces
what if they stop you filming your hipster millennial pub "reviews"?
social media after all..
*talks about the no swearing policy* bloody hell 😂 love it. I've not travelled much up north so loving these videos - keep them coming!
Think bloody hell is ok 🤣 cheers 👍
@@honestplaces yeah probably right - tickled me though!
‘No swearing….bloody ‘ell’. That cracked me up

Same as the Kings Arms aside the river Ouse in York. Another Sam Smiths pub.
We went there (a while ago now). No swearing, no music, "no using mobile phones...", in the bar man's words:
"to make calls, check emails or send texts. If you want to do that, go outside or go to another pub."
And no card payments, only cash. In fact, the bar man said they wouldn't allow anything "electric" in the pub.
I guess the electric pumps were the exception to the rule.....and the lighting, of course.
Sounds mint that one!
Whats that, an amish pub?
@@lukasvanenz2029 pretty much, every pub should be like that
@@honestplaces And ban alcohol...
Hauntological some or most pumps in pubs are gas
Old Brewery Pale, decent pint at a sensible price, you can't go wrong.
That a samual one?
Love the videos mate, been watching since the hull video came up in my shorts. Big fan of old school pubs and good guinness, surprisingly there's an art to it
Remember visiting a pub in Nottinghamshire that was no mobile phones. Best time I ever add. Great video again as always.
There is a pub in Bispham just outside Blackpool. The Bispham Hotel. Looks grotty on the outside. Not bad in the inside. No phones rule. Been a few times. Always dead. Just old timers having a quiet beer. Real cheap beer though.
Sounds like a proper pub 👍🍺
Pool table, juke box. Crisps and pies and a good pint is all me and may mates needed and the memories we shared were awesome. Now it’s all food places and rude people
100%
One of them in York, I wasn’t aware when I popped in for a pint whilst waiting for someone, checked my texts and got told off 😂 great concept!
What a great pub this must be. Love it. Want to see more. 👍🏆🇬🇧
Old decor, lovely pub and good prices,
You know it
I used to be a pub-goer in my younger days but a few things killed it for me, the main one being the stupid prices. The prices in this pub are very reasonable and the landlord was an absolute gent. I'd happily call that my local if I lived there. Enjoy it while you can because generations to come won't remember a time before computer technology. Wait until everyone has a chip implanted in their heads and they communicate via telepathy while the government listen in and tamper with your mind. You think I'm kidding?
You've seen the future with chip implants in our heads and it's grim. It's bad enough nowadays with all these "smartphone zombies" glued to their screens and not talking to each other.
@@rigel5 Kids & young adults will fall over themselves to get an implant. Just look at the way they mindlessly queue for the latest Apple phone and believe they have to upgrade to the latest version phone. I believe this availability & acceptance of having operations for vanity reasons is all part of the plan to get the masses compliant when it comes to computer chip implants. Make it look normal & people will gladly do it. The kids are already hooked. You said it, 'smartphone zombies.' Sums it up perfectly. The government & their puppet masters absolutely love brainwashed, compliant zombies.
@rigel5 Watching yourube and commenting no doubt 😂
@@dirtydogsanddiesel We're not against the technology, we're opposed to being obsessed by it.
@@WetLettuce-kc2qm Does it really matter about other peoples obsessions? just concentrate on your own things and ignore everyone else ;)
The no swearing is where I draw the line. Fuck that.
Need more pubs like this, so we can get back to what being human is all about! Spending time with people having a laugh with a few drinks. Not staring on phones whilst not talking to each other!
I drink in a Sam Smiths pub, The White Horse in Beverley. Trust me, virtually EVERYTHING is banned and the pub is a better place to be because of it. Trade must have been halved but if the owners are prepared to sacrifice profits in order to preserve the character of the pub then I am fully in support.I drink Mild at £2.00 per pint and its a decent pint. As they say, even electricity is nearly excluded, the lights are gas lamps. Oh how I wish every pub would do the same.
Sounds mint lad......£2! Madness
Is that the pub opposite a church. Lots of rooms? If so had a good night there a few years back, I remember the gas lamps👍
@@the4asdrivingschool601 Thats the one.
My locals a Sam's smith. Can't fault it everyone chatting. No tvs music just good ale and good conversation.
Exactly mate...proper pub
I drink in an old pub that banned phones when they first came out years ago, they also don't allow kids in the front bar.
If your phone goes off he will put it in a pickle jar full of vinigar or nail it to a board.
I love the place wish more were like it, everyone in there is polite and actually speaks to one another.
Bring back the old days.
Great channel mate just got it recommended. Keep it up, documenting normal life.
Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍
What a blast from the past..talking to someone in the pub. 🗣👥👊✊
🤣
We need more pubs like this!
Indeed
My kind of pub. Love it. Wish we had pubs like that in London.
That is my kind of place 👌🏼
Great video mate.
Same....thanks pal
*Reads no swearing sign*
Him: "Right no swearing, BLOODY HELL" lol
🤣🤫
Bradford is still west Yorkshire pal , although it's up north
Yeh i realised that when editing....i just meant up north 🤣
It wor West Riding when ar wor born at'aworth.
Our two local pubs in North shore Blackpool The Bispham Hotel and Victoria Hotel have also banned mobiles, any kind of swearing standings at the bar plus no music or bandits.
Sounds a good place
I called in there one lunchtime for a quiet couple of pints. I was sat looking at my holiday photos on my phone when the bar girl came over to me and pointed to a sign on the wall, 'no mobile phones, conversation is king' and then she disappeared again.
I was the only person in the place other than her, I drank my pint and put the empty glass on the bar, she said "same again?". I just shook my and walked out.
You lost.
You came to the pub to have a pint, not dossing on your phone like a little child. Just bad enough as it is, phones are everywhere. Your lost but I respect you for bringing your empty glass back to the bar. Not all people do that.
@mcstyle24 precisely. Sam smiths pubs are a haven from constant stimulation. Harking to a time (and mentality) of living in the moment and not being bombarded with distractions.
Or, to put a less pretentious way, go for a quiet pint lmao
@@mcstyle24 why is looking at my holiday pictures dossing on my phone. I was the only customer in the place, what should I have done? Stared off into empty space? Or maybe start mumbling to myself?
@@sparerib
Why even you want to look at the phone meanwhile enjoying your pint? How about engage a conversation at the bar with the worker or reading a book or newspaper instead, or playing board games yourself, Playing darts or pool table. Who the hell wants to sit with a smartphone by themselves, must be so depressing. You could do that at home or at work, not in the pub.
I wonder How would you ever cope if that was in the 90s before smartphones came along.
Shoulder of Mutton in Bradford is a great pub! Samuel Smith beer is some of the best you can get too and it is a very, very good price from there.
Yeh i heard it is! The beer is surprisingly good 👍🍺
@honestplaces I'm a beer geek and Samuel Smiths can rival any German brewer with their output. You should get yourself down to Nottingham and try some of the Castle Rock pubs. Not cheap like Samuel Smiths, but equally good beer
The Shoulder of Mutton in Bradford city centre is my favourite go to pub when I'm in Bradford. It is a good honest traditional English pub serving great beer at Samuel Smith's no nonsence prices. The Tadcaster brewey produce all their own light ales, bitter ales, brown ales, lagers, porters, stouts and a cider, they even have their own brands of spirits. The lunchtime menue is excellent too. Other notable pubs in Bradford that are freehouses are The Corn Dolly and The Fighting Cock.
@@davidmacgregor5193 I like The Exchange too, that's a good one
We have a Sam Smiths pub here in Castleford,our snooker team had a match there recently we had been forewarned about the policies but thought it must be exaggerated.
When we walked in it,it was like the scene in an american werewolf in London when they go to the pub on the moors!
Grim,soulless,cold..the building was tired and run down,to be fair the beer was decent,and we aren’t bothered about our phones so that wasn’t an issue,swearing on the other hand!now being average at best snooker players most misses are followed by a string of f bombs..we were told half a dozen times by their team to watch the language which in a rough and ready town like Cas is laughable.
Somehow we made it through the match and fortunately it will be a year till we have to go back,although I’ve threatened my partner with a night out there!
Anyway great video mate keep up the good work
Whereabouts in Cas is it? Is it the club up at Glasshoughton ? I know that the Junction sometimes sell his beers and that's very rare for an independent pub . Neil the landlord used to work for him at The Duncan in Leeds though.
Brilliant brilliant.
You should try the Malt Shovels in Altrincham..Has 2 pool tables upstairs and a darts board!
That a samual one?
@@honestplaces yeah Samuel Smiths.Landlord called Simon..Top guy
The guy that owns the brewery is a nut job. If the manager doesn’t take action against swearing customers , they get sacked n the spot.😮
Weird Narcasist behaviour acting like his pubs are military camps? Pathetic.
Don't go there, simple. @@Cashback13
Yeh i have heard that his shuts pubs just for not liking the atmosphere with no notice....which is harsh on the landlords/ladies
Just found this channel and am loving it, especially the ruff and moody boozer episodes 😄👍
Good old fashioned British pub with good old fashioned banter.
You know it
All that pub would require to go back to the day, smoking. I'm a non-smoker, but I prefer smelling smoke to b.o., stale beer and FARTS.
B.o 🤣
I understand the concept and its a good idea, because nowadays people barely speak face to face....(Anti)social media is stopping people from communicating with each other. We're slaves to our phones and it's alienating people from humanity!
Yup....so many people spend hours scrolling through tat
It's like been in a pub before the 2000s, without the stale cigarette smoke in the air
Your channel is great ....I like visit in places just Luke yerself..I always look on your channel to see where you visitin.....all the best mate❤
There’s a way of telling people tho. Me and the mrs went to York and honest to god, didn’t see the boards. I told her to grab a seat and I ordered our drinks.
She was on her phone checking where the car park was. I was only having one cos I was driving.
Some muppet from behind the bar went over to her and said get off your phone. She said oh sorry I didn’t see the sign. And he tapped it.
Then he was slagging off my mrs to his mate. I thought they were talking about someone outside knocking the sign over or sumat.
Only when I got to the table she told me and I put 2 and 2 together. It was her bday and my gran was calling my phone to wish her happy birthday. So I put it on loudspeaker.
Fella looked old enough to be her dad. Did he come over? Did he f***. He was just looking at me and back at his mate.
Don’t have to be an aggy nobhead. Just ask people nicely and they’ll respond in kind.
Yeh mate i agree. Should be polite as people could be 1st timers. Not hard to just inform someone. Shocking that
Taddys a decent pint
Never had it....probs should of got that
Humphrey Smith the owner bit of a character, to say the least. One of the richest men in Britain, would cut a fart in half if it would save some brass. LOL
Bosh! That will nicely 👌 👍
was a pub in Guildford in 90s no mobiles
If Humphrey Smith sees this then the landlord could well lose his job.
Why?He wasn't to know been filmed.
I doubt humphrey smith goes on youtube that much. I'd be surprised if he own a telly lmao
@@markharrison8216 That won't bother him believe me!
Proper old school, could do with a new paint job but would probably upset the regulars
I went to a pub like this once. It was a bunch of middle aged men sitting by themselves. No one was talking to each other, it was probably the most depressing pub I've ever been to lol.
A great idea , doesn’t mean it will gather traction though
True.....enjoy it while it lasts
Best of all great beer at a working mans price.
The beer was decent
Passed that pub many times when I worked at the chemical plant over the road.Great pub and people.
Best thing I seen once : in Spoons , Husband & Wife sat down together, Saturday night and pulled out an iPad each, pure bliss ❤❤
Please put kids on the bans too! You said it just as I sent it 😂😂😂
🤣 proper pub without screaming kids
@@honestplaceslolz yeah just full of moaning old people like real pub should be 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
What for mate? A pub’s a community place
Good excuse for when the fellas are late home - reasonably priced too
Never thought of that 🤣
A proper pub, pubs like these are few and far between nowadays. great video
They really are! Cheers pal 👍
The definition of a quiet pint. Theres a few near me but ive not been in any since the no swearing/mobile ban came into effect. And always a cheap pint
Update: went to one near me for a few quiet pints after work. The place itself is a dive ngl but there were 1 or 2 nice old fellas willing to have a chat and while they observed the rule on no tv/music and mobiles, they didn't on the swearing lmao.
But again, it's in a former pit village so I guess some things are to be expected.
Sam Smiths is great stuff. Humphrey Smith might be a bit of an oddball but no one's forced to drink in his pubs.
That is true 👍
he a cruel man to his landlords
@@henryclarke5363Noone is forced to ask him for a job in the first place.
they dont know what hes like when they take it@@ElectricPics
A bit of an oddball…that’s putting it mildly…
Sad old men from deacdes ago, throwing their weight around to feel self-important, because they can't cope with change and modern life. Still a chain pub at the end of the day they just need a Time Machine.
Plus it's cheap for a reason...
You are exactly the type of cocky little gobshite that I wouldn't want anywhere near me in a pub. If I had a pub and you walked in, I would only serve you shandy, and if you complained about it in any way I'd remove you.
Whatever, don't let us grumpy old men stop you paying £6 a pint elsewhere @Cashback13.
I love this idea.. and I will be visiting the pub! I’ve had no social media for 4 years now
I deleted it all too....amazing how much you don't miss it init!
oooh I LOVE this idea. I always wander about by myself and see who I can meet at bars pubs and breweries, this would be perfect
Sam Smith make the worst Beer in the country .. 2.20 wasted
Good for dole eds like me 🤣
Nice mild and bitter
I hate their pubs . Full of miserable old bastards. Got a death stare answering my phone in a pub in Stockport. No wonder Sam's smiths pubs are empty or closing. Avoid if you're feeling low. Cheap shite beer anyway.
in your opinion, its not a fact just because you said it
@@spongebobsquaretits 🤣
More please 😂
Bradford is west yorks mate!
Amazed to see the old hometown pop up on my youtube feed,looks like a lovely old school boozer too..
This pub needs a mass meet up!! brilliant place.
Nice little bar 👍🏴🇬🇧
It really was 👍🍺
yank here, love your content youre certi mate, cheers
It's a brilliant concept👍🏻. Communication lost its art form. All pubs should enforce this law. I'm in the states now..NYC and it's all I see..heads down in their mobile's and tablets, no one is speaking to each other...smh..it's sad man.
i'd love to see you in Liverpool mate! brilliant channel this
Great to see Ashley is still doing well.
Absolutely beautiful! 🙏😊
Best pub in Yorkshire. Full of characters. Love the place. Shame I missed most of it and didn't get on the film til last few seconds 😂😂. Mark the landlord owes me a pint for saying hes a top lad
Small town wetherspoons on a summer night between 10 and midnight in their beer garden are good atmos imo, sun to thurs
What a breath of fresh air with those rules.
100%
"£2:20 a pint, you can't argue" - "You haven't tasted it yet!" :-) Brilliant
Best idea for a pub get people talking eye to eye. I hope it all goes well for the landlord
Boss idea
The Golden Ball in Scarborough is never empty, you can go in on your own and have a conversation with anyone always, that's a Samuel Smith house. Good prices too even though it's on the shore next to the harbour.
Gaz Yorkshire. .
I worked in a place just like this about 17 years ago. It closed down recently and I feel it’s a real shame for the customers who used that place as a social hub. Loads of old guys used to meet up and play domino’s and now it’s gone. Real shame.
Yeh....pubs aint for the old folk anymore
