| It is not very often that a motor-mouthed gobshite like me is stuck for words, but even I have to admit that trying to convey the supreme tightness of the Vine leaves my brain stuck in the short of blank state that usually only occurs when the wife is talking. The interior has room for just three or four small tables, accompanying stools, seven foot max bar and a striding distance from one end to the other of about 8 solid footsteps. It’s the sort of place a munchen would describe as claustrophobic. And yet packed within this tiny building is more character than you will find in the entire Slug and Lettuce chain. The interior is classic, bare pub: solid wooden walls (with the occasional eye pleasing picture), comfortable authentic furniture and a original looking bar that lacks the vomit inducing adverts or fake swanky finish that afflicts a depressing number of boozers across the country. The taps too are top notch, with a good choice of ales and lagers that are complimented by a reasonable range of prices. Despite its pleasantly quirky design, where the Vine truly excels is in it’s clientele and atmosphere: the former are a mixed bunch who will strike up a conversation with anyone and the latter is friendly to the point where you want to French kiss it. I’m not sure why the Vine manages to be particularly enjoyable or attracts such friendly people (maybe it slightly backroad location and small appearance puts off our dear friends in burberry and baseball caps), but whatever the reason, long may it continue to have an influence. The only conceivable drawback to the Vine is the obvious one: that it is so small you wont always be guaranteed a seat (though not as much as you would think) or indeed a speedy pint. Ultimately though, this place is a gem – 9/10. pgazz - 1 May 2006 19:19 |

| I LOVE this pub. A bit like trying to get twenty guys into a phone booth, but it serves beer! Great fun, the perfect place to start or end a night out. Troy Livingstone - troylivingstone@voila.fr - 4 May 2004 15:39 |
