I go past the Cricketers Arms and The George to The Lapstone, 'cause the landlords are friends of ours. And most people we know will drink there too.

I went in to the gents to see the tree a while ago - I went on a CAMRA walk that took in several of Wolves’ real ale pubs and one of the points was the tree in the loo. They sent in one of the guys to make sure it was “safe” for me to go in. Next time I’m down that way, I’ll get 'im indoors to go in and photograph it for you!
Other local features are the Crooked House and the Bull and Bladder which are both within driving distance but not exactly “local”.
Did that used to be the Brewerey Tap? It was our local in 1999 when we were students (hah!) living just the other side of the downs.
In Edinburgh my local is The Abbey , a really good traditional pub, great food, guest ales, and 8 large TV screens for sports. When I’m in Carlisle I frequent The Waterloo, a very quiet pub with very cheap drinks, pool and darts. They will also serve you until you decide to leave, even if its 6:30 am 
Since just about everyone I know in the city moved away and I’ve become a Dad (and a pauperly one at that) I’ve not had a local. Sad really, so many fond memories of The Menagerie in Belfast.
No webpage and no bouncers either, they were all arrested for links to terrorism, cheers! 
Is that the one on Derby Road?
Yep. Priory Island. I live a few hundred yards from it.
Nice pub, I’ve taken my doting parent there for lunch several times.
My favourite of your city’s locals used to be the Salutation before it went all trendy and pretentious, and of course Fagin’s back in the days when it was Fagin’s.
I used to drink in the Abbey a bit until it’s makeover, which added all the tv screens… it now seems loud and annoying to me.
It’s just round a couple of corners from Drouthy Neebors, where I go sometimes if there’s no big sports event on - it’s very convenient - but these days after work I tend to go to the Bow Bar or later in the evening more usually the Old Bell
My closest pub is The Cricketers, about half a mile from my doorstep. It’s not my most frequented pub, though.
(Had to laugh at the description… “select area”?)
I think you’re thinking of The Coronation Tap which I have only visited once, and it stank of sweat. I don’t have anything against students per se, but as I work at the Poly here, I could do without seeing/hearing them*, in my drinking time.
I’ve got a friend who lives in Yateley. Do you know her? 
Is her name Mary? If so, yes.
Yet curiously, no-one frequents the Bird & Baby (only Oxford pub I’ve ever been in, fanboy that I am).
No, her name’s Rachel, but you were close!
Fanny’s Ale House is my local, a wonderful place where catering extends to a packet of crisps or bag of pork scratchings.
I know a couple of Rachels here. It’s not a very big place, but it is kind of anonymous.
Obligatory alternative “local”, although it’s in the next village: the Pour House (caution, website contains music).
The Errigle Inn in Belfast is my local. It’s a really nice pub.
Because my husband and I now live 3 roads over from the house my folks lived in when I was born it is also one of the pubs my dad drinks in. Even though he now lives 45mins drive away, he still drops in for lunch or a half on the way home from work every so often. He’s been drinking there so long they give him a free drink on his birthday and he knows all the staff and most of the regulars by name.
We try to avoid going there when he’s there!
Have friends that go to QI quite regularly, too scared to join them though - my handle is well chosen & I have mental images of being run out of the place by Stephen Fry clones when I don’t understand their Latin witticisms 
Ha, so do I - I’ve had a few good meals at the Toby, and also at the Nurseryman, which is my local, though I rarely go there. I can also be found at the Johnson Arms in Dunkirk and The Cricketers in Beeston. And the Bell is great, as are Ye Olde Salutation and Ye Olde Trippe to Jerusalem (supposedly the oldest pub in the world).
When I’m not being a student in Nottingham I live near Bristol, but I only tend to drink in town, which means the Commecial Rooms or the Greenhouse.
