Patron, un Demi! — On France’s PMU Bars and Keeping Working-Class Spaces Alive — Pellicle It’s noon and, since it doesn’t serve food, I expect Le Mustang in Saint-Nolff, Brittany to be almost empty when I push through the doors. The place is packed regardless. Construction workers stand to...

Despite being fiercely anti-gambling, I really enjoyed this and have always wondered about these PMU bars. Great stuff from @anahlcq.bsky.social & @pelliclemag.com

I know! These prices are crazy for any freehouse, city centre pub with a lovely interior

Thank you. (Maybe remind the guys in my DMs saying "That's rubbish. I live in the north and cask is better and cheaper")

Happy to be of service

Beautiful pints

Pint of Burning Sky Plateau cask pale ale in a jug on the bar counter at the Queen Charlotte pub

Pint of cask Five Points Best Bitter in a jug on a wooden table in the Queen Charlotte pub

🍺 No, YOU just discovered that the Queen Charlotte (formerly a Br**dog Draft House, but now sister to the Blue Maid in London Bridge) serves £4 pints of cask and core on Sundays, and is conveniently - and, some might say, dangerously - located between the gym and home 😑
