Don’t worry jarofporter im sure if you ask nice the barman will waft a lovely little flower under your nose to help.lolNot bad. Fair enough the beer was good, but when I went in it seemed to have a funny smell which I found pretty off putting.what can i say if you want to visit a pub that is similar if not exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago this is the place. the locals are friedly and the beer is superb, another suprising addition is the extensive range of whisky's behind the bar. great pub great landlord and right in the city centre. one of the best places iv been in a long time.

Easily the best pub in Worcester - 6 good real ales. The owners also own The Little Ale Cart brewery so there are usually a few of those on offer. Prices very reasonable.

Watch the opening hours - currently evening only (1630) Monday and Tuesday, lunch and evening Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and all day Friday and Saturday.Great single room pub, excellent range of ales and well priced too @ between £2.00 - £2.60. Beer tried was in superb condition and the barman friendly and good at his job. What more can a drinker ask for?A good town pub with a good selection of ales (tried the Vale Mill on this visit) and not far from the Foregate Street station (you pass a couple of other pubs and a Wetherspoons on the way to it. Staff were functional as opposed to engaging though sometimes I suppose that's what you want.

I have made a few visits since my last comment - mainly due to having CAMRA beer vouchers from Weatherspoons.

It does seem a bit better but I avoid evenings.

The first of these visits - early 2010 - was a treat though.

A girl in there was being really abusive and trying to get the place in uproar - calling the staff f*ckers etc who kept telling her she was barred and wouldn't serve her.

It turned out to be Laura Hall - the ONLY person to have been barred from ALL pubs in the UK ! http://bit.ly/bZSE7v and http://bit.ly/cgVwda

I felt as if I had witnessed history in the making. What a Chav....

The staff have recently been pretty good and helpful but I still do doubt the food.I was in this place on a sunday afternoon, a nice place for a quiet pint you might think. Oh no, a large group of drunk men in the corner were singing and shouting all afternoon, people came in and left straight away. They then started brawling with one another. The only memeber of staff who went over to them and asked them to keep quiet was a young female glass collector.

I finished my drink and left. I don't know who is in charge of this place, actually there never seems to be anyone running it when i've been in which is probably the problem.Why do I bother!!!

On the last visit my friend brought back a couple of pints and had a big gulp of his....I thought he had been poisoned. I took a sniff and promptly returned then to the bar.
"What's wrong with them?" said the surley barmaid
"They are off.", said I, she turns to her colleague...."He say's they are off"
Are you ready for the reply...........................

"I thought that as I poured them", says her colleague

Seemed to me that it is the only public house for miles. 2 roomed pub selling its own Canon Royall Brewery beers which were very nice when I could detach the barmaid from her mobile phone to serve me. best public house for miles, excellant quality ales,welcoming locals,staffThis is a lovely country pub in a great location. Very cosy, particularly in the winter with the log burner blazing.

I think the last poster will find the glass in the car park is from the glass recycling bins there rather than car crime.

If he'd called into the place three or four years ago he would see the change for the good the place went through when it was re opened last year.

That said there was litte choice on the beer front when I called in at the weekend, a dissapointment as the pub normally has a good choice of three or more real ales. There was also quite loud music on in the afternoon which wasn't needed and wasn't on the last time I called in.

I don't know if they are still serving food as there was no sign of it nor any menus. A shame as the food was very good there the last time I visted too. Tried it yesterday - 28th Dec.

Decent pint of Abbots but the pub doesn't feel like it can succeed.

Its well finished but the location, next to Charford, will kill it. I visited earlier in the year and was not happy parking my car in a car park where the broken glass indicated smashed windows and stolen valuables. I overheard the staff and customers discussing just that problem. The beer is too expensive for Charford folk on benefits and too close to Charford for anyone else. The barman said they were barely taking enough to cover his wages.

Yesterday fairly quiet but a local was fairly loudly f'ing and blinding. Not good.

I'm no prude but there were women present.

Its a shame as I can remember it as almost a country pub in the 60's where mum and dad went for cider and babycham (...not mixed!) on summer Sunday evenings.Went to call in this week and the place was closed. Looked like it was still trading. Dissapointing.

Called in twice, to the Grapevine as it is now, over the last two weeks. Both times no ales on at all! A real shame to see all that investment in a pubs decor and then to fail at selling beer.After getting quite excited at a good range of real ales in a pleasant environment with firendly staff on the High Street recent weeks have seen the selection available to be pretty sparse with only a choice of one or two beers.

This weekend they had no ales on at all when we called in. Very disappointing to see so much effort and money spent on the recent refit only to be unable to deliver beer to their customers.Called in this week and a couple of decent beers on tap, well priced too. Might actually end up being the best boozer ont he High Street.
