Pub trolled for ‘Britain’s worst beer garden’ CLOSES after punters forced to sit in a car park

A PUB that was said to have the "worst beer garden" in the UK has now closed.

The Brass Button in Motherwell became a laughing stock after a picture emerged of the boozer's beer garden.

The picture showed tatty tables and chairs on a gravel yard. A wheelie bin was parked up against a graffiti covered wall.

An extractor vent from a nearby building overlooked the beer garden.

The image was far removed from the traditional pub beer garden which features a manicured lawn, wooden benches and plant pots.

The Brass Button has since closed. Craig Campbell, who posted the picture on social media, said: "Nice beer garden in Motherwell if anyone fancies a pint."

Another tweeter joked: “I call that a solid piece of entrepreneurial art.”

One man wrote “The Button defo[sic] wins the best beer garden award”, with three laughing cry emojis.

However some locals posted messages of support praising the non-nonsense boozer.

One regular, Kevin Moore, said: "It is a bit harsh. It's a great wee hub in our scheme where the locals enjoy great pints and friendly banter all year round.

"Everyone from the staff down to punters love the Brass Button and long may our wee pub stay that way."

Another drinker tweeted: “Had a couple jars in it today with the lads, love the beer.”
