The seafront at Southend has it's fair collection of different and indeed indifferent pubs. Some are better than others, but hardly any could be considered suitable for familes.
The Forresters, for example, has for years has 'exotic dancers' on virtually every lunchtime and evening. I took my then girlfriend in one day, as having led a sheltered life she had never encountered the joys of a group of pervy men putting 50p each into a pint pot to see some old tart get her knickers off - not exactly exotic I admit.
Still if you want to see Essex culture in the raw then the loud and racous Forresters is your place.
You will of course note that I avoided calling this tip "Forresters - somewhere to get wood"
