user reviews of the Duke of York, Salisbury

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

have to say that the pub has a really nice crowd and they are very diverse. The pub has evolved as although there are 300 gay men in salisbury they rarely support the local pub.
Therefore the pub has opened its doors to more and more straight people who like the safe enviroment and appreciate the money that has been spent on it.

Bar staff are friendly most of the time, although the management seem a little pretentious.

I went to the pub when visiting friends and when I was waiting to be served, one of the bar staff (Scott?) was arguing with a punter over their policy to make the pub more straight friendly. Err, isn't it a gay pub? The flag flying over the door combined with the staff's comments seemed a little contradicting. Apart from the managers lipiness, I had a really good time and the locals were really friendly.

If it wasn't for the staff's attitude I would have given a 6 or 7 rating. As it stands I am only willing to give a 3 until I see an improvement with the staff.

The Duke is tucked away down a sidestreet, about 5 minutes walk from the city's railway station. It is Salisbury's main (only?) gay venue. Ideal if you're gay, but don't be put off if you're not! Very swish interior, pool table, good music. Never any trouble, ideal if you are having an affair and want to be an "incognito" couple for the evening. Hey! Who's gonna admit they saw you in there?? Great bar, friendly regulars, attentive staff.Doesn't open during the day. Very tight on age, you will be carded, similarly, does not have under-age prats. If you're confident of your own sexual orientation, be that straight, gay or bi-, you have no excuse not to add this to your Salisbury crawl.
