Good pub, very much rock/metal oriented, good selection of stuff played at a decent volume, but could still hold a conversation (important). Toilets a bit of a state by midnight, but it does get very busy, give the staff a break they get hassled to death

The Wench woman lived above the pub for a good few years

Whilst this is more my young Basil's style than mine - I'm a lady, you know, I must admit I found this most agreeable and was soon ensconced in some gin whilst rockin to Wumpscut.

Basil finds the selection of beers here most impressive and loves the ambience, even if sometimes it is standing room only.

The Guvnor here, sorry for some of the bad reviews...
it seems that if someone is refused entry for whatever reason they come on here and whine.
our doorstaff are regularly commented on for being the best in town - maybe some people get mixed up or cannot handle their liquor..
we haqve a time with the smoking ban nd we are doing what we can to accommodate this
the barriers are there to seperate our customers from some of the nare-do-wells that hang around the back of GC swigging lambrini and white lightning cider (see the spar)and so they can at least have a fag without being pickpocketed or thrown up on,,,
a smoking area is being made ready soon so another option will be available soon. As for plastic glasses - well its the law of the land and if we are looking after someone not being glassed then please put up with it - or get your pals to mind your beer while you have a quick fag. we've just redecorated again and we're getting there. the wench woman? lets hoped she's moved cos if its so bad why do you still come in???

please call in and give me any feedback you wish - i'll always acomodate any sugestion or comment but if you wanna remain anomynous and moan - go moan about summat else.

i'll do whatever i can to keep this boozer going in these difficult times - rock still is the salisbury and we consistanly win awards for our ales. come and give it a go again if you weren't happy last time.

This used to be a splendid pub - open, eclectic and full of character. By god it has plummeted in my estimation.

The price of the beer, the bar staff, the general ambience is a pale shadow of former glories.

We all know the problem. The security staff are ridiculously surly and abusive. One person the other night asking to go in and check where his friends were was told to 'F*ck off you fat f*ck!'

Avoid at ALL costs.
