    In a pretty rough pub in Edinburgh, watched a yank order a pint of ale, take one sip and walk back to the bar to ask for a refund cos he didn’t like it

    Fuck me mate you’ll be lucky not to end up wearing it

        Yank. Can second. Unless it was well and truly off most bartenders would just laugh at you. You might get an exception if you’re in the kind of joint that’s $20 for a Sam Adam’s or something because at that point it’s not a pub it’s an adult daycare.

            “My great great great grand great grandpa was a can o Tennent’s Super so I’m Scaddish”

            In unrelated news, I was in Sicily last year, and there they market Tennent’s Super as a posh lager, not a drink for a pish-reekin homeless person. How the fuck they managed that I’ll never know

        In the us you can ask for a taste and they’ll pour a splash. That’s ok.

        Order the pint, only refund should be if it’s off or something

      Back when I lived in North Edinburgh someone got shot at my local (Jock’s Lodge). They keep changing the name to try to distract from that colourful incident but all the locals stick to the original name. Nice place; friendly bar staff!
