The Blisland Inn, Blisland

This pub is absolutely immense: I'm a student in Leeds, 'club capital of the North (cringe)' and this is about as far away from that as you can get without going to church. This is not to sayit is bad, just that it is quiet, a fantastic selection of ales (8-10, local, guest, obscure) and of course, a good pint of Stella. The food is good, the people are friendly, and it is all quite gorgeous. except for the back-room where the pool table is, which was decorated ina decidedly half-arsed manner in 1972, and no-one has bothered since. That's the only reason it gets 9/10 (because I can't give 9.5/10, it won't let me). Go there. Talk to the large barman with the ginger facial hair. But don't be afraid. he's quite friendly.
Do: Try all the ales.
Don't: ask for a slippery nipple. They don't take kindly to that sort of talk.

The Unity, Plymouth

I've never been to this pub in the evening, largely because I've seldom been unfortunate enough to find myself IN Plymouth in the evening, but during the day it serves a nice pint, with some relatively competent barstaff.
