| Not sure what to make of this pub. Its coining in on the pink pound of the gay scene which it bang in the middle of location wise. Lots of space, very tall ceiling and marble, guess it was an old bank or something? Loads of squishy leather sofas, but they are not comfy on your back. Bar stuff are quite clueless and would rather use their mobile phone rather than take your order correctly. Since when did a pint of Solar Power ale mean 3/4 pint of Soda Water? They also had NO gin? whats that about? Currently throughout August local caberet stars Diane and Lee perform on Wednesday nights which make it worth going, otherwise I think it would be quite dull. pioneer - 7 Aug 2008 23:26 |
| Ringwood Best is off more than it is on. There is no sort of commitment to real ale in this place, especially when they can push nitro keg boddies at £3.00 a pint. As Paul says, The Porterhouse is a much better bet. Full range of Ringwood beers there plus whatever seasonal beer is going. johnkn7 - 21 Oct 2007 11:28 |
| Went to this pub once. Never again.Noisy and only has Ringwood Best and it was £2.70 a pint. Rip off!! You can go up the road to the Porterhouse and get it for £2.45 and it tastes better there as it is a Ringwood pub. paulaledrinker - 18 Jul 2007 21:40 |
| Now open as The Winchester. Went for a quick pint there yesterday evening whilst waiting for the Goat around the corner to open. Must say I was very impressed by the place, very chilled out, classy decor, very comfy sofas; my only complaint being the one real ale (Ringwood best) had run out. Will definately go back there!
