Nice pub, shame about the manager. I've been here twice with a friend and on both occasions she has been highly rude I therefore refuse to go which is a shame as it's such a nice pub with nice staff. The last time I went my friend and I were drinking non-alcoholic drinks, she then came over asking if we had finished. My friend decided to finish my drink and as he went to drink it she decided to grab it from his hands, believing it to be alcoholic. She never bothered to ask what it was, or for I.D she continued to try to grab it from him despite us telling her we were over 18 and it wasn't alcoholic.

Nice clean and comfortable pub. Plenty of food but small ale range although in perfect condition.
|
Further to previous. Food well up to scratch. Burgers and fishcakes for us. Nice!!
|
Previous pub Brewhouse. Ah, this is more like it. A proper pub, 3 ales on pump and all available. We all had Ringwood in here and whilst we thought a little colder than necessary, very good. TV showing footy, good atmosphere. Everything you would want of a pub in Poole. We've ordered food so will supply a further review later. Next pub Nelson (or maybe Portmouth Hoy).
|
Definitely worth going to this pub, good prices, good service, nice atmosphere, good live music and a brilliant outside area. Also if you're looking for food the restaurant gets a thumbs up from me.
|
I like this place. Seems like a friendly locals pub where you can escape from some of the idiots in the tourist-trap pubs on Poole Quay. Beer not overpriced and some good bands to be seen, normally every Thursday.
|
I used to be assistant manager here way back in 1996. For the past 2-3 years I have been bringing my band 'Conflict of Interest' here regularly, and today The Antelope is the place to be on a Thursday for live music in Poole. The staff are friendly, the bands they put on are good, and the audience lively and pretty numerous. A pleasant pub, and a gig we always look forward to!

Not bad at all, beer ok, open fire, reasonable prices, good chuckle to be had
|
Liked the pub a lot. Very friendly staff. Much cheaper round than other nearby boozers.

Ok it's a greene king establishment but this makes for a very affordable round in comparison to the overpriced inns in the area(Purchased 4 pints here for less than 3 in previous!)Great beer garden and tasty lookin grub, well worth a visit, 9/10
|
Predominantly a hotel but contains a cozy bar with fire to enhance traditional pub atmosphere with local beer and lively weekend (particularly summer) events. A quiet gem of a pub in Poole which has a quiz machine and fruity for those who want them, situated close to the quay.
|
A very proffessional and efficient set up,but still retaining charactar and individuality.
Worth a visit.
|
Bland beer with rude staff. Take your money elsewhere.
|
Good service, food, and accom. if required.
|
Very good pint of Abbot. Food good too. So is the staff. Good choice for lunch when on holiday.
|
Its been a few years since I was in here. The bar area has been re-fitted and there's a large beer garden out the back.
Staff are very friendly and efficient. The food menu looks interesting but I haven't eaten here - yet.
Recommended.

good food and beer frendley staff
|
Tidy pub, well kept real ales. They ought to get their handpumps checked out, it shouldn't take average of 12 pulls to pull 1 pint
|
Stayed here and found it in a ideal location and the rooms were fairly priced, and in good condition. The pub itself is OK too, would recommend visiting either.

nice pub food looks great but havent tried it yet....very comfy!
|
Stayed over a weekend. Bar staff very friendly and helpful. Beer good although Ringwood breweries have cleaned up in Poole and this place is on the list.
Rooms are full of character, rather than plush, although clean and well kept.
Location is excellent
|
I order you to try the 'Chilli Sea-Bass'.... Deeelish!
|
Very pleasant pub with 10 bedrooms attached in a courtyard behind. We stayed for one night, excellent rooms, good service. Bar food was great (2 starters, 2 main courses for £10 - beat that!)The main restaurant which is behind the pub was well fitted, one could say quite romantic for those weekends away. Bar prices reasonable.

So far this cosy place has resisted the temptation to chase the tourist money. Pleasant pub with decently kept ales.
