We’ve all felt our legs going a bit wobbly when we’ve had a pint or several, but generally the pubs we all frequent have pretty level floors. However, if your local is the aptly named Crooked House in Himley, Staffordshire, you’ll know that the floors of this one are a little more wonky than normal.
The bent boozer has one end 4ft lower than the other, meaning the whole building, inside and out, is all over the place. Mining in the 1800s caused the building to have an obscure lean, meaning coins roll up the bar and glasses slide off seemingly flat surfaces.
Dan Lewis is the pub’s manager, and he said:
It can be really disorientating at first. When I first came in I didn’t have a drink because I felt so dizzy. I’m a local lad and have known about it all my life, but even that didn’t prepare me. It’s brilliant to run such a unique place.
The 27-year-old also added that people come from all over the world to see whether the pub is actually real.
We get visitors come from all over the world – as far as Japan and Australia – and they just can’t believe it. They’re convinced it was designed like this but it certainly isn’t!
Would you be able to stomach a pint here?
