I also went here based on the fact that this place appears in the GBG. I must admit that I was fairly mystified on a recent trip to Poole as I have never seen so many pubs in such close proximity however the only ones that appeared in the GBG were not particularly inspiring.

The Brewhouse is normally the sort of pub that I go for. It has Pool tables and a Jukebox which are not all that commonplace these days. Walking in the pub the look and layout reminded me very much of a snooker club that I used to drink in when I was 17 and couldnt get served in many other places. The only major difference was the snooker club didnt have hops hanging from the ceiling which is obviously thr pubs nod to the fact it focused on real ale.

Like the previous poster I also had to wait to get served whilst the barman finished his smoke. When he did finally return though he did serve me a wonderful pint of Zig Zag (Porter) whic went down quicker than the Titanic. When I returned my glass to the bar he also asked me how my pint was. Nice touch!

All in all, a proper drinkers and smokers pub with decent beer however if you are expecting just a little more then you will leave disappointed.

This sounded good from the GBG entry, but it didn't really work for me. When I arrived, the barmaid was outside having a fag, and gave me the evil eye for having to come inside to serve me. A load of sweary blokes drinking lager round the bar and yelling at their mates on the pool tables isn't my kind of thing either. Nice beer, but a bit of a disappointment.

don,t know wot others are moning about. the brewhouse is a good little pub, it is not a eatind place, so if you want food go to a cafe. if you want beer go here because it,s a PUB, with all the normal drinks you expect plus some real ales

p.s aging blond bloke i think is called julias wants to know all your business is still there

Sells some beers that it brews itself. And they are good. But that's about it. No food and not a lot of charisma. Smokers stand inthe doorway letting their smoke pollute the pub. Foul language at the bar.

Better than what you would expect from a shop conversion on a High Street as it does actually feel like a pub. Bar area at front and two pool tables to the rear. They had three Milk Street brews and a guest ale on - went for the Milk Street 'Usual' which was quite drinkable on this offering.
