The Hobgoblin

Staines' best (and only) rock pub!

About Me

Hi there!
Ever walked through the gloomy streets of Staines and thought to yourself "Gosh, I wish there was a nice, chilled out, reasonably priced, exciting pub; with hot barmaids and good music!"
Well look no further! I, The Hobgoblin Staines, am that pub. I am situated down Church Street, just off Staines High Street. I'm home to a brand spanking new digital jukebox, offering some of the best of alternative music from the 60's till now! I bring you not one, not two, but three tvs, a big screen for all your sporting or musical needs, and a pull down projector screen for those special sporting events. And every Sunday, I bring you the cream of the local music scene to my live band night on Sundays from 8pm. I also have some amazingly talented singers on Acoustic Thursdays so come on down you bunch of cheap-skates!!!
For all you customers who like a game with their pints I also own a pool table, quiz machine, 2 fruit machines and a golfing machine, all for your entertainment needs.
Come down and see some of Britains BEST local talent!!
For all bands that want to play @ The Hob, we require you to add our resident promoters " Best Of British Promotions " to your MySpace friends

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves good beer, great service and fabulous music!Big shout out to all our regulars.....!!

Music:

We have a spanking new digital jukebox, which has a wide variety of music on it. Ranging from rock, punk, ska, pop, hip hop, RnB, Indie, Emo, Screamo. The bar staff reserve the right to reject any songs they don't like.

Television:

The pub owns 4 TV's altogether. We have a big screen and 3 smaller ones so you can chill out with a cold one and watch your choice of football, rugby, cricket and tennis during the summer. When sport is not available you can often find MTV or MTV2 on show. If we're not showing what you want to be watching, just have a word at the bar and we'll see what we can do.

Books:

We have recently aquired a book on how to make cocktails. If you're willing to wait half an hour while said book is consulted, have various ingredients spilled on you and pay an extortionate amount, yes, we will make you one.
On the plus side, they do come in large quantities since we don't have the teeny tiny girly glasses.
We reserve those for people who drink half pints of Stella.

Heroes:

The Wildman of Borneo(whom we miss)
