The Blackbirds, Hertford

Used to be a sports pub, known for all the friday and saturday night fights outside, but they've changed their image. A pub where you have to be very drunk to enjoy. Good drink deals you get large j bombs for 2.50, and fishbowls for a fiver. They have a small dance floor which plays pop music and cheesy classics. When you're smashed it's pretty good fun as everyone starts singing when the classics come on such as whitney houston and cyndi lauper. They have a lounge which has odd mismatched slight gothic decoration and furniture which you can have a chat with your mates. Outside they have a large smoking area which attracts the alternative crowd. People dress from towie style to casual and a few heavy metal types. The toilets are notorious; girls go in the cubicle together for safety! For some reason there seems to be mosquito netting above the toilets (decoration?); and the toilet floor always seems to be damp with god knows what and the toilets don't flush.
