| Great pub, great music. Friendly, clean and a good beer garden by the canal. Dont get some of the reviews here! Kids are always welcome! The D.J. will play anything you ask for and if he doesnt have it, he will get it for your next visit!! The Landlady (not The Troll as remarked above!) is the D.J.'s other half and a lovely, chatty and fun lady. Cant get enough of the place. If you're not into rock and blues then this probably isnt the place for you. If you are then get down there as soon as you can. Banshee_lady - 7 Dec 2008 09:48 |
| at last! a rock bar! great place, good music, dj is friendly,lads behind the bar always smiling, until 8.30 when the troll (i think its the dj's mom) comes from under the bridge and kills the atmosphere, anybody would think we were in her living room. warning! children definately not welcome (she eats them). the rating applies to the pub only (not poison ivy). cathair - 24 Aug 2008 15:51 |
| The ace of spade's (barge and barrell) is a great pub, its tiptons little secret. very clean, very nicely decorated, the punters tend to be middle aged rockers, with some young metalheads in there in the evening, one or two bikers now and then. the music in there is mostly 70's 80's rock. they do play metal if you ask for it. although the dj does'nt like heavy music, he is a sound bloke altough as for him saying the comment about grunge; "i aint playing that crap" was most likely light heartedly. smokincorpses - 12 Apr 2008 16:05 |
| Be warned. If you are into anything other than Spandex Rock you're not made to feel very welcome. I myself like a various mix from AC/DC to some old grunge stuff. I asked for some grunge and was told "I aint playing that crap," not the welcome I expected. johnlikesagoodbeer - 15 Mar 2008 11:24 |
| Formerly the Barge and Barrel, this is Tipton's only Rock and Blues pub and has a wonderful atmosphere, comfortable, clean, great music, good beer and very friendly staff/ owners. They have regular events and small bands and their punch is tasty but lethal. Biker friendly and highly recommended! diamondflamer - 10 Aug 2006 16:22 |
