Love Brauhaus Alter Bahnhof. Really worth the effort off the beaten track.

The Barley Mow in Dorset St, which Nairn described as a “place for romantic indiscretion or flogging atomic secrets” is still going strong and as superb as ever.

Zum Goldenen Handschuh, opposite Elbschlosskeller, is also well dodgy, a haunt of serial killer Fritz Honka. Those Czech dives look great…and a tad less intimidating.

Elbschlosskeller in Hamburg gets my vote as the sketchiest in Europe. Somebody genuinely died at the bar…and it took them a while to realise…

Loved the Cluedo pub trail, particularly the kind gesture by Retiredmartin to provide a taxi service!

I was at Worcester Royal Grammar School when they filmed. Quite thrilled to watch it on the telly!

200,000 died of starvation after the civil war. Just saying.

I think there’s one of these in Berlin’s magnificent “Museum of Things”.

Irony is not a quality that comes easy to Oasis.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The Hacienda opened more than ten years before Oasis were formed. It’s like claiming the Rubettes were the trigger for the Age of Enlightenment. Except more ridiculous.

I feel that…every time I walk into an All Bar One.

Thanks for the update. It looked vandalised when I was there last year.

A sign of life at Au Bon Vieux Temps? A tragedy if it’s shut for good.

I’ve lived in Madrid for a couple of years and my Spanish is pretty basic. Service can be abrupt but most bars are friendly and efficient. It’s worth brushing up with one or two key phrases - the effort is much appreciated.

Good to see Scritti Politti getting into AI hedge funds.

Hearing is believing. Dollar’s Give Me Some Kind of Magic never sounded better.

“is not incitement to murder” Lucy Connolly, on the other hand…

I’m sure it’s great…if you’re wearing the right trousers.

Used to love Clärchens in the days of the impeccable covers band and “everyone welcome” door policy. All ages used to dance until dawn…but now the old bohemian vibe has been replaced by a corporate conformity.

Dismally tenuous whataboutery.

I've often been intrigued by the origin of the name of Berlin's Möve im Felsenkeller. The literal Google translation is Seagull in the Rock Cellar. The "Möve" or gull, element of the name came from a previous landlord who owned the maritime-themed pubs - the Storch and the Penguin Bar.

I can’t see anybody having a pop at Mad Nads. Even her constituents had no idea where she was.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

There was nothing particularly “kind” about her turning her back on a youth orchestra playing Ode to Joy at the European Parliament. Whatever your political hue, it was cheap and spiteful.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

So it’s one tedious embarrassment versus another.

Does the you voted for it, suck it up, apply to Brexit?

No problem with his mobile phone/swearing ban but his disgraceful treatment of tenants and willingness to let pubs stay dark means he will not be missed.

None of the whining self-pity of that graceless blimp Johnson…

My wife walked backwards onto Colin Firth’s foot outside The Ivy. We were walking by…he had just left after lunch. She’s from Sunderland.

Perfectly reasonable suggestion…except in politically sensitive bubbles such as trans rights you’ll be accused of sticking your oar in despite online safety being something that affects us all.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Utter nonsense. I posited an alternative view without resorting to insults.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

You actually self describe as “angry” which isn’t the best place to start any rational debate.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Well, if you’re not willing to declare who you are - like plenty of trans people are happy to do - you’ll have to accept that your opinions will be taken less seriously.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

You can’t be that confident about your opinions if you have to hide.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

An anonymous post holds even less value.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

I’d rather take my chances with a school, whatever its faults, than unregulated social media, an anonymized cesspit than can never replace genuine human interaction.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

“online spaces can be a safe place for them to develop a genuine support community” Or they can be an absolute sewer of spite that would undermine even the most balanced adolescent.

Tim Evans @timmo5.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Hardly surprising from a click-chasing rag that ran this drivel about Spain being “full” of these weird, licensed Franco shrines. There’s about six…and they’re treated with ridicule.
