The Bath Hotel has got a Dart Board, and Dominoes. I assume they've got a few decks of cards knocking around too.

I was actually going to post a similar thread up here - I really love Cards and would love a regular pub cards sesh, but it all seems to be poker these days (which I don't mind, but I'd much prefer a game of crib, or even better, euchre).

First time I've heard euchre mentioned up here. It used to be very popular in Cornwall where whole families would play in pubs and community centres.

I grew up in North Devon. The local Euchre league is covered by the local paper there. I think it's only known in the Westcountry really. It's much more popular on the Eastern Seaboard of the US.

On a related note - are there any pubs with Shove Ha'penny tables in Sheffield?
