| Great pub, great selection of beer, very helpful staff, and a lovely pub. Dylanwing - 30 Jun 2009 22:30 |
| Great to find somewhere which sells other than St Austell or Skinners (respectable though it is). Had a pint from Titanic brewery which was in perfect condition and poured directly from the barrel. Very cosy and lots of memorabilia with friendly service. Very close to the bus station. Would have stayed longer but unfortunately no later bus! pxk99 - 6 May 2009 20:11 |
| This city centre pub not only has an eye catching exterior but also offers one of the better selections of ales we found on our recent travels around the area. The interior of the pub is altmospherically dark and dingy with bare floors and a tatty feel but full of character with shed loads of beer mats, drink towels, old adverts, beer fest menus and pump clips stretching across the walls and ceilings. Some of it has obviously been there for years and the general impression is that anything that gets put on the walls stays there until it rots and falls off. The floors are strewn with the shells of complimentary peanuts so probably not the best place for sufferers of nut allergies but it is fun to crunch them all underfoot. Many of the tables and even some seats are made from converted barrels. A copuple of old Redruth Brewery windows can be found, one a telephone box sized booth. The usual mix of entertainment is listed including quizzes, live music and (unfortunately) karaoke. There is a pool room upstairs (both the pool and jukebox are free after 7 on Mondays). On my viist there were 8 available ales either from the 10 handpumps or direct from the 7 casks behind the bar. Ironically many of the guests were familiar to me so I ended up opting for the regular house ales Skinners Kiddlywink and Cornish Mutiny, both excellent. Others available included Spitfire, Pitch Black, Adnams, XB, Deuchars and Taunton cider. There was also a selection of unusual fruit wines. I didn’t find it particularly expensive and overall thought it was a great pub but sadly I didn’t get time to stay as long as I would have liked although I would definitely return.

| Not in the GBG but in the Lonely Planet guide. Good place with its own distinctive atmosphere - went there lunchtime mid-week. Wide range of beers and competitively priced food. Old_King_Cole - 18 Nov 2008 22:20 |
| Nice atmosphere & kiddleywink was good, service bit slow though. Asked for some white bread & butter for my son, told they didn't have any white bread at all. Ordered a hand of bread & chilli for myself & when it came it was white!! Was then told that chef was too busy to busy to butter a piece of bread. provenjohn - 30 Oct 2008 18:04 |
