The Harbourne Stores Public House

The Baron and I gave this Public House 1 out of 5. It could have been a 10.

Being terribly disheartened by the Green Man on Harbourne, the Baron and I decided to give Harbourne another try and went searching for our next exploit, The Harbourne Stores.
It must be said that this had the makings of an excellent public house, until I, a man of dignity, narrowly avoided a bumming from the local rapist, a homosexual rap-scallion named Simon (second name possibly "The-rapist"?). The Baron was distracted from his enjoyable public house experience by continual pestering from this man and was continually told by Simon how he would like to get into the leftenants pants. Most Distressing. We may never frequent this house again.

Positives

Cost efficient drinks (£1.50!)
The presence of Bombay Sapphire gin!
A Pool table (though slightly slanted by a fat boy continually sitting upon't)
Proper Public house atmosphere
Genuinely Irish barman
The presence of obvious 'locals'
Frank Sinatra on the jukebox

Negatives

The holes ripped out of the seats
No culture
Frank Sinatra being ruined by Simon the Rapist
Simon the Rapist himself
The fear of going to the urinals because of Simon the Rapist
