The Old Ale has no need to copy the Garden Ladder on what ale it serves
the old ale is in the good beer guide and has been a camra pub of the season award
the garden ladder has neither of these for its directors bitter that is not sold in the old ale.
and if there was loud rock music playing it was pretty much certain that you were in on the last sat of the month which is rock night
maybe you should stay in the ladder which seems more suited to your tastes and enjoy your directors bitter and whatever ale they have copied from the OAE

It's a footie boozer. What else can I say. it does what it says on the tin. It's not particularly friendly to strangers and they always seem to copy the ales that The Garden Ladder stock. When I was last in the landlord was playing very loud heavy metal and a few customers (including me),left and went to a more sedate bar.

Agree with Tanis5 and Firky1, quality boozer. Not the largest selection but enough to tempt us to stay for more than a couple (which is almost unheard of with us). Lovely/Friendly barmaid too, who spotted us and was already asking us what we'd like before we'd seen her. Toilets - clean enough, and noted a concerted effort/focus towards welcoming the disabled. Good music (at the right volume), bookshelf, darts and unobtrusive TV in case you need something to focus on while your mates are getting in the next round.

I dont know what the last two posts are about as I have drunk in the old ale before and after its refurb
Its a lot cleaner than before the refurb and the ales are of excellent quality changing on a weekly basis
its busy all week round and the jukebox is amazing you can also watch sport if that takes you fancy
the drinks are very reasonably priced compared to the other places in greenlanes (the ladder and salisbury)
all in all its a good place to be on a weekend or even during the week
the staff are friendly and helpful
the smoking area out front affords a view of the world passing by and its covered against the rain

This joint could certainly be cleaner and a bit more care looking after its old ale wouldn't go amiss.
