| This is a great pub and I spent most of my student years here. I love it that much that I still go. It has plenty of character and atmosphere. The drinks are cheap, the food is cheap AND it now has real ale! Winner! I recommend Quids on Thurs and Open Mic on Sunday. Lunalily - 16 Nov 2010 15:34 |
| Now offering a handful of cask ales. Sadly the muppets running the place wouldn't know how to keep a decent pint if their lives depended upon it. Still firmly wedged on the "No F*cking Way" list All_Hail_The_Ale - 8 Jun 2010 08:07 |

| Had an amazing time in this pub and can't understand all the nonsense reviews. I am not a student and enjoyed my time spent here. I went on a Sunday and was pleasantly suprised to find it was open-mic night. The whole atmosphere of the Polar Bear was relaxing. I would Certainly recommend a visit. Nef - 3 Jul 2009 14:55 |
| Dirty, foetid hole full of coked up DMU students and town centre chavs looking for an easy shag. Has the usual Scream approach to decor (ie: tasteless colour scheme, poor grade furnishings and dim lighting) and the usual Scream approach to beverage stocks - fizzy, pasteurised (and often brightly coloured) alcholic urine designed with nothing more in mind than turning students into drunken imbeciles barely capable of tying their own laces. As with other pubs of this type though, it does act as a kind of (sadly non-lethal) concentration camp on Friday and Saturday nights, keeping the better pubs free for the better class of punter. I was a student in Leicester, and even in those halcyon days I never drank in this sordid little dive. Recommended like Cholera. All_Hail_The_Ale - 19 Mar 2009 15:50 |
