Great little pub,reminds me of when my dad use to take me to his local in Hammersmith,Still has that traditional feeling with more atmosphere,Plus a very good selection of beers.A1
|
Must be good, lots of Camera awards displayed on the walls.I drink wine so I dont know how the beer tastes,But certainly a great atmosphere
|
Great pub with a good selection of real ales. If I were local it would probably be my local
|
Ended up making a 25 mile detour today whilst working to sample this place. Nice, it was worth it. Good selections of beers although I only had a half. 8/10
|
Love the aircraft wing on the ceiling, hope it don’t fall on someone’s head, but I guess they would be to drunk to know in this place with the selection of real ales and German lagers for sale, This place must be worth a gold mine.
|
Agree this place is nice. Was there in march. Only problem was I drank to much!
|
Great Sounds Plus good real ales,a good starting point for a great night out.Can get to busy at times,but I guess thats because its so popular
|

|

Friendly staff, fantastic beers, good music,reasonable prices. What more could you want?
|
Excellent place. 8/10 everytime.
|
The best pub in Poole,Love the music and the Warsteiner Lager A1
|
Four real ales available on my recent visit; Freeminer Speculation, Hopback Apple Blossom, Theakstons Old Peculiar and Youngs Ordinary. So a good mix of strengths and a good mix of well known and less well known ales. Tried the Speculation and the Apple Blossom and found them in excellent condition. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, regulars likewise and it appears that very little has changed in terms of the decor and layout since my last visit some seven or eight years ago. (That is a compliment by the way)
|
this pub is brilliant. an excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and an excellent range of ales. it even has a facebook fansite http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8243266825
|
Not only real ales but also imported German beers on draught.
|
Definitely the best pub in Poole. Great atmosphere and excellent bar staff. I once left my wallet behind after a few too many. The next morning I returned to find it had been handed in - without anything removed - definitely a rarity.
Also, I love the occasions when the whole pub - staff and customers erupt into the chorus of whatever's being played on the jukebox!
|
Popped in yesterday before going next door to Mr Kyps.
Having read decent reviews I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed. Three real ales from Archers and one from Downton all well kept.
Pleasant atmosphere and an interesting collection of artifacts around the bars.
If I am in this part of Poole again, this pub will be getting a return visit.
|
The best real ale pub in the South. Plus a selection of imported European draught beers.
|
excellent staff....excellent beer...excellent pub
|
Always an excellent selection of Real Ales, spoiled for choice.
Got totally hooked on something called Erdjinger,some cloudy beer in a fancy glass. Great stuff.
|
Recommended by a friend.Nice atmosphere and good range of real ales.Certainly revisit again in the future
|
Oustanding selection of bitter and decent largers, inc. draught Budvar, Budvar Dark and Doom Bar all at very reasonable prices (for Poole at least)
Interesting themed decor (in a good way)
Only let-down by the lack of a decent pub garden.
|
Went in the other Saturday afternoon. Completely smoke-free, of course. The four real ales on included Abbott, which I can't be bothered with. However, the other three from Godards, Salopian and Dark Star were superb.
|
nice to go into a proper pub for once with a good selection of real ales and german lagers
|
Good excellent fun, gets really packed. Sort of place that can be empty at 9pm on a Sunday night but packed by 9.30. Beer and largers are excellent.
|
Joint winners with the Porterhouse for ED CAMRA pub of the year 2006
|
Best all round pub in Poole. Great staff (including John) Great beers great drinkers. Miss it heaps.
|
Great pub and bar staff. Walls and ceilings are plastered with all kinds of nautical crap, but don't let that put you off - it isn't really a theme pub.
Good mixed clientelle (18 ->80). Can get very busy.
|
my favorite pub in poole
|
The best pub in Poole. Great friendly atmosphere, Good fast service, and more important super quality condition beers and lagers. Almost forgot a lovely German landlady
|
One of the best pubs in the area for a decent pint of real ale. Unfortunatly, the draught Erdinger is so good that I rarely drink the beer. Try it for yourself but be warned, more than four or five pints and you'll be carried home.
|
Excellent beer
|
this pub has always been highly excellent!
|
Excellent range of real ales plus German bottled beer (Erdinger dark etc). Can get a bit crowded sometimes due to its deserved popularity!
|
One of the few pubs in Poole with a decent range of regularly changing ales.
A decent crusty old buffers pub with the occasional young face at the weekend.
Not large so often packed out.
|
Proper pub with proper beer.
Three German beers Warsteiner, Bitburger & Erdinger. Four guest ales always changing & different ABV's
Beer & people what more do you need?
Don't agree about the name being stupid, I've been missing without trace in there a few times.

Always packed, great decor if you want to impress americans, feels slightly cliquey, lots of attractive older women and cool older guys so I always feel a bit inferior when I go in there. I prefer the Central - easier to get a table and drink, and they often have music at the Central too.

Decent pub despite the stupid name. Well kept real ales and decent grub.
