user reviews of the Rising Sun, Winchester

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

The pub has been closed and up for sale for some months now.
Rumour has it that the building may well re-open as an organic restaurant of sorts...

Agree with last reviewer wholeheartedly! A few years ago I ventured in this august establishment, almost as a kind of suicide fact finding mission. An hour ad 2 pints of recycled toilet water later I left with all my limbs and extremeties intact. In truth ,although the general ambience was akin to the bar in Star Wars (Odi Wan, light sabre,arm dismembered etc) I was pretty much left alone to enjoy my 'lager'. This was no doubt due to the fact that the clientale were concentrating all their attentions to some resident mr blobby wannabe who sat in the corner, belched & farted with a tedious regularity and liked to refer to everyone as a faggot!
Will give it an 8 for getting out alive

Rough as a badgers backside, full of oddballs and grunters watching horse racing.

Token ale on (Courage, I recall), which was in surprisingly average condition - I wouldn't have thought anyone in here would drink it. So there's a bonus mark there.

Probably best avoided unless you are an OCD pub ticker like me.

HEALTH INSPECTORS nightmare;
Ive never entered such a filthy dump!
even the fan had brown mould growing on it, and it was switched on!!
Patchwork carpet pieces, brocken furniture, and Im told THE local fighting vunue ;
fancy getting glassed with a dirty pint, this is the place to be; we nearly got set upon because the thugs in there thought we were undercover police!
Didn't even finish our drinks...
AVOID if your a student or normal.
very frightening
(and Illegal sky too!) but dont mention that !
