Nice enough and the Okells was a decent enough pint but pretty much a muchness as in it could be a pub in a lot of other places.

Eight years since my last visit and I'm impressed by the refurbishment. The Okells ales are well-kept and the food is delicious and freshly prepared. Well worth a visit. 9/10.

I wasn't planning to visit this pub. But it ended up being my 16th and final port of call on Saturday night, when I was flagging. Popular with a wide range of age groups, there was a pianist entertaining the crowd. A chain pub that reminds me of the Fly In the Loaf in Liverpool. The owners are the same I believe. This pub has been recently modernised and is at the centre of much of Douglas's nightlife. Okells MPA, Bitter & IPA were the ales. I believe they offer a discount for CAMRA members. But I was 'aled out' at this stage of the evening and opted for a ginger beer! I did quite like this pub.

Was a nice pub until it was done up two or three years ago.
The re-vamp not only changed the traditional pub-like feel of the place but also drastically altered the acoustics, so now when it is still half empty it is so noisy you have to shout to talk to anyone, thereby making the problem worse.
I had a truly appalling pint of Saison that I barely touched and was only about half way down my replacement pint of ordinary Okells bitter when I decided I'd had enough of the racket and left.

Large open plan pub on the quay side offering Okells Bitter at �2.60. Very much a place for the younger set on Saturday night when we visited with loud music. Bouncers on the door. Outside drinking area but only plastic glasses allowed there.
|
Decent quayside pub serving real ale - worth a visit.
|
Friendly pub next to the harbour. Two real ales available when we visited - both in good condition. A live band was also setting up. A good pub and rarity in a town that otherwise seems a bit of a real ale dessert.
|
Friendly staff, OK place. The jukebox has some of the worst most overplayed tunes ever, though.
|
A large but pleasant pub close to the ferry terminal with a warm welcome from the staff.
Well kept cask Oakells bitter. A comprehensive food menu, good value for money and generous portions.
Worth a visit, especially due to its convenient location.

The location on the North Quay of the British Hotel is just great but, as it is the large pseudo half timbered style of the 60's, it doesn't invite and could be doing itself an injustice.
Presumably a great place if you come from Munich and love the Beerstuben.
I might just try it once to give an objective appraisal
