| Didn't enjoy my visit, barman blanked me, so went round the corner, but did feel a bit invisible. boosi - 28 Mar 2012 07:53 |
| Popped in whilst attending CAMRA Southport's Beer Festival at the weekend. Apparently the bar now has new people running it and are only selling national brands (with the exception of Flag & Turret) as apparently they make more money on these. The range included Tetley's, Bombardier and Black Sheep. I think this may be a move which will lose them custom - especially if they leave up all the old pump clips as there is such a contrast. Oh well, there's always the Guest House. FrankW - 26 Sep 2011 00:47 |
| This is one of 2 bars in the hotel and is more geared towards real ale drinkers. The other bar behind it is much larger and has a more American feel. I described Baron's Bar as 'quasi-medieval', with various features such as chandeliers and antlers. My drinking colleague described it as 'God's waiting room' by virtue of the age of its clientele. In fact, much of the seating and layout of the furniture is in keeping with an old peoples' home. Ales on offer during our Saturday morning visit were the house beer Flag & Turret (brewed by Tetleys), Tetleys Cask, Youngs Bitter, Adnams Bitter, Caledonian Deuchars IPA & Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger. We were expecting a more inspiring range than this, given the multitude of old pumpclips on the walls and ceiling. Old Rosie was the cider. I'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. But on this occasion, we left feeling disappointed. blue_scrumpy - 18 Sep 2011 13:48 |

| Wanted to enjoy a visit to this very pleasant bar having had it recommended to us. Unfortunately, four of us chose four different ales and they were really not to our taste. Just bad luck, I suppose. Maybe next time. GazzaTheBeerMan - 10 Jan 2011 13:28 |
