How many of these bars are you noticing popping up in your vicinity!?

I voted YABU as people can, and always should, be able (within the law) to do whatever they want in their own garden, regardless of how 'tacky' others think it is.

A garden is an extension of their home and you don't get to say what goes on inside do you?

My caveat would obviously be if it's noisy, loud music and parties going on till all hours, but if it's just 'the look' of the bar and a few folk chilling together, chatting that's bothering you then you're not just Unreasonable but V V Unreasonable 🍸Cheers!

Stop going in other peoples gardens? Then you won’t see them.

SofiaSoFar · 12/07/2022 22:33

Chav stands for council housed and violent.

No it doesn't.

I doubt the OP gets invited to many peoples gardens.

TwoMonthsOff · 12/07/2022 22:34

I think the dartboard ruins it

Crinkle77 · 12/07/2022 22:35

Tacky as fuck but I still want one 😂

StarDolphins · 12/07/2022 22:35

Well it’s not any of op’s business but it’s an opinion, just like saying you think artificial grass isn’t nice or you think velour trackies etc are tacky……

come on, have those commenting NEVER passed judgment on something they don’t like🙄🙄really?

I am a total snob, sorry.
I have v fun and wild parties without a bar.
Scrolled through Drainbook earlier and there seemed to be ALOT of people showing their home bars off , maybe I'm bitter because I'm sat drinking my white wine on the sofa.....

You are not a snob. You are rude and judgmental.
Maybe a wannabe snob.

(Yes I am being rude and judgmental Wink)

Chav stands for council housed and violent. Used to be used to describe Vikki Pollard type people but I see it more commonly used to mean "common" and/or working class. I don't know what context OP was using it in though.

Oh thanks @EatMyHammer never knew that!

Can you explain chavvy, please, ta.

Mattress, sofa or white goods in front garden, time spent in sportswear hugely disproportionate to time spent exercising, member of one of those weird families where uncles and/or aunts are same age or younger than niblings, grey French bulldog to match grey crushed velvet sofa (bonus points if on the "never never"), visits Skegness and enjoys it, white financed Audi, wears one of those wanky GG belts

Fifi0102 · 12/07/2022 22:37

My next door neighbour has a party shed and often has scores of people round for parties and drinking. I've never been so happy to see his wife pregnant with their first child, the baby is now around 8 months old and the parties have stopped it's brilliant 😁🤭

You do realise you're not a snob?
While it's nothing to aspire to, nothing you have written would suggest you're a snob.

Lacking manners and/or basic knowledge really don't make you a snob, in fact some might describe you as more of a chav!

My parents had a 70’s style bar in the ‘lounge’ even as a pre teen I knew it was the height of tackiness

they didn’t entertain (disliked people) and barely drank so it was literally the elephant in the room that we were not allowed to go into…utter madness

What is never never?

Summersolargirl · 12/07/2022 22:41

Lol so you’re just jealous and stalking social media for images of folks with them? I dunno, I kinda find that tacky and chavvy..😂

Credit plan payments !

WishILivedInThrushGreen · 12/07/2022 22:42

It's just fashionable for now . As soon as people think they're tacky ( like now) they'll be jettisoned for some other tacky shite.

And so it goes on.

Oh jesus how could I have forgotten THE reddest of red crushed velvet flags.

TwoMonthsOff · 12/07/2022 22:43

@TabithaTittlemouse
as in it is ‘never never’ going to be paid for !

Arnaquer · 12/07/2022 22:44

What difference does it make to you?

BitOutOfPractice · 12/07/2022 22:44

I’m only jealous because I want one myself 🤷‍♀️

Summersolargirl · 12/07/2022 22:45

Op, I’m fairly sure snob doesn’t mean what you think it means. 😂

FangsForTheMemory · 12/07/2022 22:46

I can’t stand them and the only person I’ve known who had one was horrible.
