| This pub continues to thrive: it has a very lively 'open mic' music night on Fridays - which is not over until the now rather fat but once very beautiful Polish lady with the still fine voice sings sad songs . . To find it, walk up Richmond Hill whichever way you can and ask for the Vineyard, which runs round the hill on a contour about 1/3 way up, not up and down. Il vaut le detour.

| A little hard to find but worth doing so. Being out of the town it caters for the locals, of all ages, rather than just the young people who flood the town centre at weekends. Always busy, always friendly and always good beer on tap. Matthew_of_Ham - 27 Nov 2011 21:53 |
| Large traditional inn in a residential side street away from the town centre and off the Richmond pub "circuit". Despite having lived in Richmond for a good number of years, I still find it challenging to get to this pub without my trusty, well-thumbed A-Z. It's a former Courage pub - note the bar back in the main bar indicating this. It's been refurbished within the last year and, whilst it still remains comfortable and cosy, it does now appear to have something of a generic hotel-bar atmosphere to it, based on my recent afternoon visit. There's a wide range of food offered and there's a clear emphasis on this and the Bed and Breakfast side of the business now. However, you don't feel uncomfortable just popping in for a pint. I think the previous posting from Nick needs clarifying. This is not an Irish pub - it is a pub owned by an Irish couple, which is not the same thing. The only evident indications of this that I saw were the trademark round black Guinness sign outside and a copy of the Irish Post on a bookcase ( along with info on Richmond attractions ). Football and rugby games are evidently screened and I don't see why they can't show hurling as well if the customer demand is there. Pubs need to be customer-focused to survive nowadays. The fact that Nick ( and myself incidentally ) have no interest whatsoever in hurling is neither here nor there, I'm afraid. 3 real ales were on - Youngs Ordinary, London Pride and Twickenham Sundancer. I found the Sundancer to be a splendid citrus flavoured fruity beer, albeit at a rather pricey £ 3.25p per pint for a beer with an ABV of only 3.7% and which is brewed only a couple of miles away. I've previously had decent Sharps Doom Bar in here also. If you want somewhere a bit more select than the chav-infested pubs around George Street ( particularly at weekends ), you should try and seek this one out. JohnBonser - 22 May 2009 13:35 |
| If i wanted to watch hurling then i'd go to Ireland. This is England and quite frankly I find these irish pubs irksome. In such a prime location and in such a traditional English building to be confronted with images of 'the old country' is frustrating at best. nickthefish - 5 Feb 2009 16:41 |
| The Dukes has been refurbished this summer without harming its idiosyncratic character. The dart board has gone; there are now 3 plasma screens [in the lower bar only] for sports watching [including the hurling final on Sunday last]. The food menu is more ambitious and more expensive; last food orders 10 pm. It is open all day, serving breakfast, fancy coffee, etc.. Currently several attractive bar maids [but they come and go].
