From my youthful days (late 80s/early 90s) I would have to go for:
Drakes The Sun Old House at Home or The Minstrel

Earls has a spark of life midweek when the town is dead.
Ashes purely for the football screens.
Rifle Volunteers for the novelty factor (it will be missed one day).

Wow picking through my hazy years,
1,Tut & Chive ( shit & shovel ) always remember racing the doormen to Gabriel's entrance if ID was refused, had great music & was always overfilled.
2, Union Bar, great underground bar which attracted amazing bands, remember seeing Carter the unstoppable sex machine!!
3,Yorks, bag the huge conservatory table for a Friday session of drinking games.
Great memories :-)

So many to choose from. In the 70s, The Eagle at the top of Brewer Street, nice easy walk from my Youth Club and guaranteed under age drinking. The Bin, fairly obviously for a lover of Rock music of my generation, and The Fant Arms, sadly no longer there, which was the closest pub to my school that had no teachers in it at lunch time. Also an honorary mention for The Ship which took over from The Bin in my affections when they foolishly tried to ban denim and leather, and where I met my wife.

1 - London Tavern - only to watch the Squaddies fight ! 2 - Saxon Chief and 3 - Tommy Wyatt - both within staggering distance of walking home after a game.

It's on Union Street and is still going strong. Worth it for the consistently good Goachers Light and just to gaze in wonder at Alan's hair.

There is no easy way to describe the rifle volunteer. Personally i dont like the place its like sitting in a morgue (im assuming they are quiet and depressing!) alan the landlord has a very very ill wife whose bedridden and a couple of times my parents have got bk from there and said shes been pleading for him to go upstairs and see her. I just feel uncomfortable in there
