    I'll tell you what I like about this bloke. He doesn't deliberately go out of his way to piss people off like some other RUclipsrs who think filming makes them untouchable. Nice down-to-earth personality and respectable to other people. Well done mate keep it up.

    What bugs me about pubs is that a lot of bar staff won't make eye contact or acknowledge you when you walk to the bar. They almost deliberately look anywhere but your direction.Then when they are free they say 'whose next?' after standing waiting like a plum for 10 minutes to get served on a week day, well if you paid attention you'd see who was next. That's why it's great to get table service. That was a lovely welcome.

    If you liked the rock theme pub in Luton. You have to see the Yardbirds club in Grimsby after a couple of pints in Freeman Street. Rough as hell pubs then great music, great beer and above all great welcome at the Yardbirds. Run by bikers who actually built the place up from scratch but you won't meet more genuine people anywhere. Yes they do serve Guinness and once you know someone in there you can guarantee a 'What's yours mate' from someone you met 5 minutes ago.

    Harpenden a few miles from Luton is beautiful. Tons of pubs and restaurants. I am not joking when i say it may as well be in another country or planet. That's how much different Luton is to Harpenden. My friends live in Luton and we never drink in Luton when i visit as the atmosphere in the pubs now that most of the Irish have left is not nice. It can be quite tense at weekends so we go to Harpenden or St Albans and it's a great night out.
    Luton is now like Milton Keynes, they have tons of strangers in the pubs so you don't recognise people in the town centre pubs because anybody with common sense and local connections has left Luton years ago. First time I visited the casino in Luton they let in about 20 men in two groups and it all kicked and one had a glass smashed over his head. Do not go out pubbing in Luton at the weekend it's like the Wild West. My friend who still lives in Luton has been assualted numerous times and so only goes to his local pub about 4 miles from Luton centre. I could go on but it's not the Luton of the 80's sadly.

    I used to be a barman at the exchange about 18 years ago. It was always busy on a Friday/ Saturday night but had started to die down about a year or two after I’d left.

    My stepdaughter lives in Luton and i fucking hate it when my missus forces me to go there and visit. Its an absolute shithole. We ordered food and drinks in The Castle once - half the food came up undercooked and cold and the pints were terrible. I went to go for a slash afterwards and there was some hobo laying on the floor in a pool of piss and he smelt like he'd cacked himself. Told the staff and they shrugged and said he's a regular

    The Bricklayers Arms is Luton's only decent pub. The rest would be better levelled. Looking at the demographic changes in Luton meaning it's no longer an English town, one can only assume The Bricklayers Arms is living on borrowed time.

      Cruzcampo is one appalling beer. It's unbelievable what trash a lot of people in England drink. But then we're talking Luton here so there's very little demand for English beer.
