Tried the "beer" and the Mermaid and both were excellent pints.Its a bit scruffy here but they were friendly enough,and its nice to find a real ale lovers pub with pool tables .

Yes the beer called "Beer" was a great pint
|
Hadnt been in here for many a year, so thought I would try it out again, was greeted to a few looks by some of the locals and the vocabulary of a bunch of old drunk guys sitting at the tables seemed to pretty much consist of the work f*ck. Having said that, the service was friendly and fast and the beer was excellent, the many CAMRA awards on the walls vouch for their ability to keep good beer. The unimaginatively named BEER was an excellent pint and at 5% was pretty powerful.

Milk St brews are a pleasant change from the run of the mill and very fine they are too.
Has the variety of "characters" you would expect of an unpretentious boozer on a High St and is none the worse for it. Well worth its place in the Good Beer Guide this year.

Good choice of well kept Ales, good pool tables and a great Jukebox
|
Strange hybrid of a pub. Looks gloomy and unwelcoming from outside and the usual array of old blokes propping up the bar fit in with this. Seemed friendly enough though. Has two great pool tables which look like they cost more than the whole pub and the fairy lights behind the bar round off the slightly surreal feeling you get.

Not quite sure why I came in here, but felt like I was intruding on someones front room.
Having said that, credit where its due, the service was friendly. I suppose as this pub is located in Poole High street, which seems like some sort of weird stuck in the 80's decrepit mess with loads of fat chavs thrown in must rub off on the pub - Not their fault though.

Now a Milk Street Brewery pub; new landlord is refurbishing it, keeps full range of very drinkable ales, toilets are a lot cleaner, a proper boozer!

Long bar with creaky wooden floorboards.Cheap beer,seems to attract alcoholics who sit by the window.Toilets filthy.

A no frills alehouse.Brews its own bitter which is very cheap but not to my taste.
