| The TT gets a lot of adverse comment, mostly unjustified. Landlord Jon Burdge is a decent chap trying to make a living in a difficult market and keep all types of customer happy. The younger crowd need somewhere to go. You were that age once and definitely made a fool of yourself in a pub. There's another bar if you don't like the chart music. The TT has given a reliable home to the Lymington Folk Club (accoustic music) on first and third Wednesdays (FREE). Most of LFC's clientele are over 40 , tho' we welcome younger folk. We drink the beer and sometimes order food which is tasty and reasonable. We've looked at other places, but we've agreed 'We like the Tripp' and we'll stay ! My personal comment - best Lymington pub since the Bugle closed in 1971 ! jondellis - 26 Apr 2012 10:43 |
| I'm young and I hate the Tripp. The only reason I go is because it's the last stop on the crawl up the highstreet. It has an awful atmosphere and is over run by young people. The dj is something I just don't understand. Live bands yes, but crap chart music blaring at me when i'm ordering is just a nightmare. So more of a fisher price pub than a place for a drink and a chat. YoungAlchi - 11 Apr 2012 12:18 |
| Best summed up as a "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" type of pub. This pub looks perfectly respectable from the outside, but what you do not see are on the photograph are two small signs proclaiming the following:- "These premises are strictly for over 21's". "Smart Casual Dress Only. No Headwear" Sporting a Panama hat, and undeterred by the second sign, I entered and ordered a pint of Ringwood "Best", the other offering being "49er". The beer was in good condition, and I repaired to the outside courtyard. No smashed glasses and other such detritus but this was a lunchtime visit. Presumably, the 40 M.P.H. sign does not appertain to any vehicular speed limit, rather than to the average I.Q. of the individuals that "Jonnysaint" mentions. Not a great deal of atmosphere, I'm afraid - 4/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 23 Jun 2010 07:53 |
| Mystified by the comments below We visited on the BH weekend where it seemed to be the only pub with any life. OK we didn't enter to talk to the locals. Band playing, a reasonable pint of Ringwood and a relaxed evening rather than the deathly silence in so many other pubs around town. And I'm no youngster - agreed not my choice for every night but sometimes..... lout_from_the_lane - 3 Oct 2008 11:51 |
| This place has gone down the pan. It's very popular with the kids who appear to have taken this place over. Anyone over the age of 21 will feel out of place. Nothing spectacular about the booze. They serve a couple of Ringwood ales if you are desperate to come in here. Large seating area outside which fills up with kids who can't handle their booze. Smashed glasses, drunk boys staggering around being pricks. Live music - mostly rubbish local bands with the odd exception. To cater to the kids again. If you're a serious boozer or want a decent chat and atmosphere, don't come to this kindergarten. Go to a proper pub - the nearest from the Tripp being either The White Hart or Musketeer. The Tripp along with the Fusion across the road is totally off limits for me. The two of them serve up a crap evening. Jonnysaint - 18 Apr 2008 09:50 |
