| Large rambling old style hotel type of pub with a bit of a run down feel to it. Oly a few old souls in watching the football on the telly. Three ales on of which I tried the Plain Inntrigue which was nice enough. Snarling_Mallard - 10 Apr 2011 11:21 |
| I have heard a rumour that this pub is to be turned into a JD Wetherspoons next year. Which might be a good thing for the area. peteandfriends - 19 Nov 2010 12:46 |
| Somewhat down at heel but friendly and the Otter is good. One of the better along the Poole Rd drag, but it is a funny area that is a bit devoid of locals and passing trade. Uncle_Dunkel - 21 Oct 2010 15:31 |
| Speaking as one of the middle aged readers (from a previous poster). The third handpump is now in regular use, currently Palmers Copper Ale, can't say what it's like as I'm sticking to my usual Otter. Also the pub is now serving a limited, reasonably priced food menu between 12.00 and 2.30 Monday - Friday. Still fairly quiet, but that's the way some of us like it! ellisref - 10 Sep 2010 13:31 |
| Rolled in here from an event down the road. It was a Saturday night, somebodies birthday disco was in full swing and the place was writhing with an abundance of young ladies dressed as whores through to Guantanamo Bay prisoners. This didn't set a good picture for me on entering, so I picked a path through the 'dance floor' to the bar so I could peruse the booze. First and foremost, I judge a pub on its ale line-up, not clientele. A nice selection of ale on of which I sampled most. Sat in a corner section with friends, away from the celebrations taking place, I weighed up the place. Its a nice venue. High ceilings, spacious. The gents was a tad dog eared, but I don't rate pubs on how good the toilets are. You go into a pub to booze, not hang around in toilets. Imagining for a moment the young revellers and the laziest DJ in history - (he put on a mix CD and stood there pretending he was doing something) - had been evaporated by a War of the Worlds style laser beam, the place would be very good. With the train station opposite, it was handy for my mate who had to travel back down the line to Weymouth. Jonnysaint - 26 Aug 2010 12:02 |
