Ed Nell   10 #1 Posted December 19, 2009 Lots of pubs are mentioned in the song.... at least I assume they are pub name references. Any idea if these pubs exist? Are they in Sheffield? If they do then it would be possible to do an Arctic Monkeys pub crawl....   Pubs mentioned are  Battleship Rusty Hook Parrots Beak Cornerstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red   308 #2 Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) 4 pubs wouldnt be much of a crawl!!! According to 'Sheffield Pub Guide' there are no pubs with these names in Sheffield anyway. Edited December 19, 2009 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ed Nell   10 #3 Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) You could always have a few in each.... or add some more pubs in on route?  Yeah I had a quick search on google and yell.com and couldn't find them either.... chances are they are made up pub names. It's a shame if they don't exist Edited December 19, 2009 by Ed Nell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red   308 #4 Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) It would have been nice to think they were actually Sheffield pubs, any reference to my home town makes me feel quite proud. Edited December 19, 2009 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nightcast22 Â Â 10 #7 Posted December 20, 2009 Maybe you could do pubs that have similar names? Â Instead of Parrot's Beak, you could have Frog and Parrot etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ed Nell   10 #8 Posted December 20, 2009 Maybe you could do pubs that have similar names? Instead of Parrot's Beak, you could have Frog and Parrot etc.  This is a great plan... I'm sure there must be lots of pubs with similar names. I will do some research, any excuse for a pub crawl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest makapaka   #9 Posted December 21, 2009 Well there's The Milestone, instead of the Cornerstone, and the Ship Inn instead of the Battleship - they're also pretty close to each other.  Add the Frog and Parrot and your almost there - can't think of anything similar to a Rusty Hook though.
