Idle Working Mens Club

Cracking club even Elvis visits on the odd occasion!

This is a truely traditional english working mans club but i’ve been a member for the last 10 years. I came across it because my dad had been a member for many many more years and we used to go in there with him for a drink every friday night. It’s full of local men and women (yes women are allowed and can become full members). Down stairs there is a bar and snooker/​pool, darts and a large screen TV for watching the sport. Up stairs there are 2 function rooms, 1 with a stage where they put on club acts (very phoenix club in the best possible way).
It’s famous for it’s name and has been featured on many documentaries on British Curiosities and it’s been said that in the past celebrities such as The Michael Jackson & Uri Geller once signed up for membership though they never visited of course (besides I’m not sure how that would have gone down with the straight talking locals anyway). I have a great fondness for this place. They serve very cheap beer including guest real ales, bottles & spirits. The bar staff are always friendly. The committee are dedicated to keeping it there for the locals as an important part of the community.
