Serving the Chase Meadow estate, the Unicorn is Marsdons answer to Ember Inns. Very similar in style and price, and a young set of staff.
Beer is of good quality, with a selection of cask ales - Wine list is pretty average.
Food is good value, but that's about where it ends. Ordering accuracy seems hit and miss, delivery times on the slow side, and most meals have been boiled in the bag, microwaved or thrown into s combo oven.
Don't get me wrong, its a decent pub for a drink and a quick bite - but don't expect too much more.
Oh, and it's always rammed on a Sunday.

A firm fav for many of the lads in our office. The food is cheap, homecooked, and excellent.
And they serve a brilliant pint of Highgate Mild!

The Voodoo Bar, Leamington Spa
Since my last visit, things have gone down hill.
The barstaff (And I hate to point this out), the female barstaff, have become arrogant.
Its never been cheap, but nowdays there are plenty of better pubs I'd rather visit in leamington/Kenilworth
Colin_2005 - Again, why is it that any pub that has more feel to it than another genric 'holier than thou' is an old mans pub, sorry mate, trendy 'bars' (And I use the term trendy loosley) are not the be all and end all.

Walking into the pub, I'd expect a nice drink, with a cosy atmosphere.
I'd be wrong.
One member of barstaff made it very clear that regulars come first, and I couldnt get near the bar for love nor money later in the evening.
On a later visit a member of bar staff, when asked to help me with a survey, said he was a) too busy (nobody at the bar) b) they didnt have a price list for me to see (required by law).
I wouldnt go here again if it had the last bottle in town.

Awful
Our friend colin_2005 is clearly one of the 'in crowd' that appears to think that having thumping music, and 'fine' barstaff make a good pub, fraid not chap.
The drinks are expensive, the staff (door included) look down at you if your not wearing whiter than white reebok classics, the music is awful, and lets remember folks, this is leamington, not London.
Avoid unless you have more 'bling' than sense.

I loved this old feel pub the moment I entered it. The good feel from all of its guests, and the warm welcome from the jolly chap behind the bar made me love the place straight off.
The Landlord is kept in excellent condition (along with all of their casks) and the atmosphere is clean and unspoiled.
Keep it up guys.

Drummonds Cafe Bar, Kenilworth
Recently bought by Wolverhampton and Dudley, I'm hoping a new breath of life is put into Drummonds.
For many years the place has been known for the vast amount of <18's that are on site, and also for the amount of trouble that occurs there.
Drinks are cheap, although getting to the bar to purchase said drinks requires military planning.
On the plus side, there are 3 pool tables.

Full of children.
If there really is nowhere else to go, then a quick drink is feasable. My reccomendation is to drop your kids there while you find yourself a decent pub, such as TJ's.

Visited the pub with a couple of friends one chilly evening, only to be told that their was a strict dress code, which included no trainers.
First of all I was wearing loafers, and second of all, I could see at least 3 other people wearing bright white 'classic' style trainers.
The place seems hugely pretencious, and I would avoid unless you really feel that there is nowhere else to go.
Not Impressed at all

The Tudor House Inn, Warwick
Just on the outskirts of town, the Tudor House Inn is probably my favourite pub in Warwick. Due to its lovely decor, and completely down to earth staff, it's an excellent pub to visit for a drink and a sit down next to the fire.
While its only a small place, with a moderately size d menu - The food is excellent.
Everything freshly prepared on site, made to order and clearly cooked by a caring chef - the menu suits the pub down to the ground. From Veggie Lasagne, Fish & Chips and grilled steaks - there is something for everyone.
Highly recommended.
