| Closed - shame had some good times over the years next to the open fire KeithP - 6 Dec 2008 18:17 |
| Yep, I was told it was called the 'Hope and Grope" too. When I went in I could see why. Far too packed with kids, unable to move, people barging me about etc. Never again. ladyday - 19 Jul 2008 16:38 |
| Sometimes known locally as the 'Hope and Grope' this a a bit of a schizoid establishment. In the evening it is noisy, cramped and full of 18-20 year olds (so probably best avoided), but at lunchtime or during the afternoon it can be quite a pleasant retreat for a quiet pint. The vicinity is insalubrious to say the least, being sandwiched between a cliff and the loading bays of Union Street's businesses and dominated by a grim multi-storey car park provided by Torbay Council as a launch pad for a large proportion of local suicides.

| This large pub is located down below Union Street and the main shopping area.It has a good selection of real ales and a nice beer garden. definately worth a visit! 8/10 fat_beer_badger - 26 Aug 2006 13:07 |
