| Now renamed... I think they should rename it again . 'The Jeremy Kyle' would be appropriate. If you like the Sun, Sky Sports, Stella, Pushchairs and Pitbulls you'll love this place. Snarling_Mallard - 10 Apr 2011 11:27 |
| Came in for a quick half while waiting for a train (as is opposite Pokesdown station), not normally the sort of pub I'd go to. Now I know why... one side is nothing but a gigantic screen set up for sports and had lager louts playing Wii sports on it. The other side had miserable grumpy people looking at me like I am a hideous alien because I dye my hair and wear dark makeup. Next time I'll wait on the platform in the cold!

| Better than it was when it was The Bell, but it is still advisable to avoid this place. It's not pleasant. SouthbourneSocialist - 5 Nov 2010 02:16 |
| Hmm - this is still a bit of a crap pub. Dirty glasses, sticky tables. And, for somewhere that has a pretty rough and ready clientele, the door policy is odd. In the depths of winter, walking in from a subzero outside with hats and scarves on, we were immediately accosted by a doorman going on about "no hats". "Eh?" we said, as we removed our hats because we were, like, now inside rather than outside. "No hats" he repeated, pointing to a sign that says something about no hoods, hats, visors, Viking helmets. We pointed out that we were only wearing hats because it was freezing cold and we were taking them off as we walked to the bar anyway. This only prompted more are-you-causing-trouble type doorman horseshit. I'm assuming they get some troublesome types in there, but a few oldsters in woolly hats . . . hmmm. A more recent visit, and a friend's son was not allowed in because he was wearing tracksuit bottoms - a policy of no trackies after 7.30 or something. I looked round and everyone else was wearing dinner jackets and bow ties, so that one was fair enough. They do have standards to maintain in the Seabournes, after all. Shame it doesn't extend to the tables or glasses . . . pgw - 4 May 2010 08:29 |
