| What can I say? This used to be my favourite... the other week the bell was rung at 10PM. The barman told us if there was nobody in the bar he was to shut up early. Want to be treated as a nobody? Go to the Mucky... trebles_all_round - 10 Dec 2007 21:39 |
| The Hyde Tavern (our original destination) was closed further up the road (doesn't open until 7pm), so stopped in here for a breather. All went a bit Sam Tyler in here, patrons, jukebox and television were all stuck in a 1996 timewarp. Knew I'd had a few but thought someone had spiked my last pint. Well actually it turned out that the landlords ipod was on playlist Britpop, the patrons looked like they got their Britpop clothes on for the day and the TV was showing England vs India Test match from 1996. This was Oasis-style Britpop, lots of pissed-up mooing, grunting and unintelligible conversations. Get the feeling a lot of these punters think they're too good for the Rising Sun, or too pissed to find it. Interior was in fairly good shape, with a small beer garden out back. Greedy King pub with only a couple of ales on - my Speckled Hen was fine. Not sure I'd bother this place again unless I had a copy of Loaded and a packet of 20 B&H in my pocket. And was hammered.

| I could not agree more. I went to watch the cricket last night and it was switched off as I (also Asian) walked in and all kinds of rubbish put on tv instead. Its not called the "white" swan for nothing. anonymous - 29 Apr 2007 12:10 |
| This is a terrible place to go if you are Asian. I have never experienced racism before in central Winchester but will pop back to the White Swan if I feel the need for some discrimination. Its a shame because the building is nice- shame about the staff and clientele. anonymous - 28 Apr 2007 23:43 |
