21. Preston's Yates's
Now this one is for the historical buffs... When Addison's Wine Lodge (later the Grey Horse) was still operating from the site on Church Street in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Peter Yates opened his own bar - Yates Brothers Wine Lodge - down Main Sprit Weind. This old original spittoon and sawdust saloon operated on this site until 1979 when they called last orders on the premises (also home to Lou's Long Bar and Madisons to name a few of its guises after the closure)and moved everything to the Grey Horse site on Church Street Photo: RETRO
