Ignore my comment dated 26 Jan 2011 07:04: I attached it to the wrong pub ! I've asked BITE to remove it but it hasn't happened yet.OK, good enough atmosphere, nice views, service fine. Tribute in pretty good nick.Very pleasant for a quick couple of pints late Saturday afternoon (Jan 15th). Good atmosphere, great views across the bay (and of the surfers), friendly and quick service - and the beer was good. Of the four (I think) real ales on, Doom Bar and Cornish Knocker were both in top condition and served beautifully. Would like to know why this pub isn't in the GBG.

A fine pub - 4 beers on offer including Doombar and Betty Stoggs. Food looked good but wasn't tasted so can't say. Friendly staff.Rather splendid. Ales (esp. Betty Stogs) well worth drinking - and most of the food serving is mercifully away from the bar. A thirst-inducing climb back to the bar from the lavatories!Love this pub, good ale, not overpriced and nice food, but most of all like the ambience here.

great beer. great attitude. great vegetarian food. great location. Please, in the name of all that is good, do not change the Blisland Inn!Legendary pub, fortunately just a few miles away from where I live...The beer never disappoints...Simply a yardstick for all other pubs to aspire to...regular guest ales all perfectly kept and served with a smile...Long live the King Buddha.Brilliant pub, very friendly staffespecially Roger the barman my family and I were made to feel very welcome indeed. Many real ales ranging in strength and taste, asked for the barmans recomondation and had a rundown of each. Food was excellent and good value for money, there is a seperate dining room as well as bar menu. This is a real pub as pubs should be, which are sadly disapearing esp in South Wales where I am from. Can't recommend this pub enough for anyone who likes eating, drinking and a real good old worldy PUB!

What a pub! We stayed in Polruan for new years and had the best time ever.Not only do they do excellent food and serve well kept beer (the only pub in the area to offer St austell's seasonal beer raisins to be cheerfull) but they also throw the best new years party with the climax being the funniest fireworks display anywhere.Friendly staff and a very warm atmosphere highly recomended.I also chose this pub on the basis of BITE reviews and was not dissapointed. I like the St Austell Tribute and they keep a good pint at the Russell and the lager and Cornish Rattler were also well kept according to my wife. The staff were friendly and the food was very good so all in all a cracking pub. I also chose this pub on the basis of BITE reviews and was not dissapointed.

No idea why people register on this site just to be nasty. All I do know is the Jolly Sailor is very friendly and welcoming to all, indeed most people in the pub are not originally Cornish but certainly embrace Cornish hospitality. It is a home from home local that visitors return to time after time. The beer? Well, it is certainly the best kept and most consitent in Looe and I can't wait for my return in a few weeks.the review below is utter rubbish. we've stayed there for a week and been in numerous times. it's a very welcoming pub.where do i start
without doubt the most friendly pub in looe NOT the big tall guy who calls himself a bar man, is defo not, bone idol and stronger words come to mind.
if you are not from looe ie not cornish you wont be welcome in there, dress a little diffrent than the norm you will be looked at like you are from another world, take your kids in there like i did and your kid will be asked if he has taken a mobile phone, yes i kid you not, all in all a crap pub crap beer crap bar staff, defo worth a miss, dont go out of your way to go there, go play bingo you will at least get a smile from the people you at the side of, i was told only the other week when on bussness in leeds the pub is up for sale, as bernard manning would say.
not worth a bang. rate the pub - 1,00000000000000000000000000000000

What a superb pub. Excellent beer, good food and a cathedral among smoking shelters. Dog-friendly, no idiots, warm and cosy, the list goes on. I've never done this before but credit where it's due; a perfect 10.We weren't in the place long enough to soak up the atmosphere - something I shall put right next year when I'm in Cornwall. The locals eyed us up and down as we entered - I take it this is a locals type establishement. The barman was polite. Had a pint of Stogs. It was good. Large bar area with several ales on at time of visiting. Need to spend longer in here really. Gives me an excuse to do just this another time...what an exellent pub, well kept ales ie tribute and doombar, the food is out of this world all local produce and not megabucks either, the landlord and staff are really helpfull.... I make a point of going to this pub every time we are in cornwall.
