Brilliant!

This isn’t in Newy is it? I wasn’t sure if St. Albans was the location (most likely) or the name (least likely).

St Albans it is, at the Settlers Arms.

is that settler’s or settlers’? Obviously no room for his legs. Good place to be legless.

Strange thing with place names – they remove any possessive apostrophes. So it’s Settlers.

Can it be smaller than The Signal Box Inn pub in Cleethorpes, England, which measures 112 sq feet. Check it out at this link:

When I lived in Suffolk, England, one of my favourite pubs was the Nutshell in Bury St Edmunds (165 sq feet).

I think we need to make a distinction here between the smallest pub and the smallest bar in the world (within a pub). I was claiming the latter.

Na – the only good thing about Snottingham is that it has the best and tiniest pub in the world … The Olde Inne established about 1129 is in a cave under the ‘castle’ (which isn’t the original castle at all). I don’t know how many square inches it is, but can’t be more than about three. It’s a while since I fought my way through the city to get there.

See my comment above.

You mean the Yo Olde Trip to Jerusalem? In the cliff below the castle/gallery? That’s not that small, from what I remember, there’s all these different rooms running off of it upstairs, etc.

yup that’s right – I’m wrong. Flimsy memory. I’ll have to pay another visit. Nice little place anyway.
