Calling Coventry friends on my lj

Jun 29, 2009 23:39

maviscruet moved there four weeks ago and hasn't managed to find a nice group to drink with. I know there was a Wednesday pub group and that it was dying out. Any chance of a bit of a revival?

I emailed him when you first said he was moving to Coventry and he said he thought he'd be fine...

The Wednesday pub group died out several years ago now. Even seeing anyone at Browns of a Saturday lunchtime is down to once every few months.

Hi! Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have a social life again.

What's the main bar? And what do you like doing?

For me the twin problems are not knowing people and being out of the city everyweekend until the end of time....

The bar were we most often meet is Brown's on Jordan Well. It's nice of a lunchtime, but kind of noisy in the evenings so we used to pick whichever pub had good real ale, decent landlords and no constant music - never a very wide choice in this town. I don't know where would be good any more, though I know people who might.

I like beer but I live 6 miles out from the city centre so it's relatively unimportant to me for evening meeting unless I have a lift. Apart from good beer I like good conversation and good food. I no longer like dancing/clubbing. I like to go to the pictures or theatre occasionally. Sometimes I go to the big classical concerts at Warwick Arts (about once a month in the autumn to spring, but not always music I want to pay £20 to hear). And that about exhausts the possibilities for Coventry of an evening - it's one of the least lively cities I know.
