| Very rough & ready pub with large beer garden which is certaintly less oppressive than the inside. We tried the only real ale; the Courage Best & it was so-so. Slightly cloudy with a not overly pleasant taste - I would say it was served a bit too soon. Will only come back if part of a crawl, I had heard real ale is not their strong point.

| I've re-visited this place a few times over the past year. Mostly around 8pm on a weekend when the place is still quite quiet and we can get a seat in the beer garden. The problem with this place as I said a few years ago - it needs a big refurb. When you walk in you are met with the overbearing smell of stale lager, urine and a general musky smell. The place is looking very sorry for itself and quite drab and even the beer garden could do with a spruce up now. The 'locals' are usually to be found at the bar stinking the place out even more, staring at you and sizing you up should you dare stand in their spot at the bar. It fills up with chavs and coke heads after around 10pm and the dancefloor that used to play some really good alternative/indie music now pumps out generic dance and R&B. In summary, go for a pint in the beer garden, then leave. There are better places around. mikeyr1234 - 17 Jul 2011 18:48 |
| Yeah not as good as it was about 5/6 years back.Then it was a good boozer with a young bohemian atmosphere and some great beer(Rebellion?).Now no ales.Pretty drab and boring and not worth visiting.It needs a change of management to compete with Wycombe's best. funky - 13 May 2011 02:04 |

| I hadn't been into The Antelope for some years and on my last visit it sold Rebellion beer and was quite pleasant. I went in again yesterday and was so disappointed. This is probably Wycombe's only pub that bears any resemblance to a proper genuine unaltered classic. Sadly it isn't - it has been knocked about a bit and to me has lost it's charm. There was no real ale available and some of the customers did not enhance the surroundings. Such a shame as this should be a little gem offering some good cask beers; food and a pleasant atmosphere - especially considering its poisiton in town. At least the open fire was lit !! mcroyal - 30 Nov 2010 09:06 |
