The Slip Inn

Typical Morley «hole» of a pub, the other review was very generous giving it a 2. Not a reflection of the pub, just typical of the «dross» in Morley.

Imagine the television series Coronation Street then cross it with the series The Royle Family, and maybe a hint of Shameless and you might have a fair idea about what this place is like. I feel like a bit of a snob saying that, as for some people that’s the way they like it. I found it an interesting place, but I know that a lot of people would have definitely given it a 1*.
I was eyed up suspiciously when I entered and someone made a comment about me letting a draft in. ‘Why have the door open to the public then? Lock up if you don’t want customers’ I thought. The place was quite dimly lit with a small bar and a sign above it reading ‘WARNING — Drinks prices may vary according to customer attitude.’ I found this amusing but something tells me it’s probably not far off the truth. My initial reaction, as you can imagine, was that it wasn’t exactly welcoming.
Whilst waiting for my drink, a severely intoxicated man swayed beside me grinning and nodding in my general direction. I sat down with my G&T feeling a bit uncomfortable, I obviously looked out of place. Then the guy came and sat on the floor next to me and tried to talk to me. I engaged in his conversation as much as I could but most of it was between himself and… um.himself. Fair enough. I thought. He’s had too much to drink but he’s not swearing or trying it on, just chatting.
After he left however, comments I won’t repeat on here filled the silence around me, calling the man in question all sorts. One man even said ‘If I were 20 years younger I’d kill him’.
Right. Ok. Thanks for the drink. Byeeeee!
