Opens now i think one night a week,which reflects its popularity

Pleasantly suprised by this pub on my visit earlier this week.Was served very promptly by a very charming barmaid(black hair in a ponytail.Zoe??) .the pub was clean and the regulars seemed a decent bunch even if one or two was a bit on the loud side

Currently closed ,whether this is for a very long overdue refurb or permently im not too sure

Tries to be all things to all people and for that is a bit hit and miss.Is heavily into meals,also has nighttime life music,footie on big screens.Expensive for the Redcar area.there are better pubs in the town but also many worse

The Highland Laddie, Guisborough
Somewhat overrated and the barmans attiude left a bit to be desired as well.

The William Jamieson, Sunderland
Pretty good for weatherspoons.fast efficent service and a pleasant atmosphere

One of the better Weatherspoons ive seen,usually cheap priced beer and i went last Saturday lunchtime and was served within 5 mins by a very polite friendly barmaid.overall i would recommend this pub

The Sir Percy Florence Shelley, Boscombe
Another Boscombe pub fast going downhill,popualted to a fairly large extent with dossers and drunks
6 May 2008 20:28
Back in Bournemouth for a few days recently and noticed how downhill greens has gone.if you want to drink surrounded by dossers yelling drunkenly to each other at 2pm on a weekday then this is the place for you.Will the manager used to be able to run a decent pub.What on eatrth is he letting it go to the dogs for?

Terrible place made worse by the manager who tries to live up to the Krays reputation but has nothing to back it up.Also glorifies self confessed murderer Freddie Foreman,supposedly a "personal friend" of said manager.
the beer is average,theres no food.the customers are a mixed bunch and some of them are quite friendly.
If it changes hands might be worth visiting,if not forget it

Not bad pub,service a little slow but still a nice experience
14 Nov 2007 12:50
Not bad standard Weatherspoons pub.there are worse places in Middlesbrough!!!
Service quite quick and overall fairly pleasant atmosphere

Not bad pub,popular with students from Teesside University.
Fosters @ �1-50 a pint and other drinks on special offer as well.
Decent service and p[leasant clientele.
Bar floor could do with a good clean though!!!!

Nice pub situated slightly to the rear of Loftus High Street.
Decent prices,friendly locals and very attentive barmaid on my visit there.
Overall a very nice experience.
along with The white Horse these are loftus 2 best pubs

Has improved somewhat in the last 12 months.Much better service than before.Very cheap beer.never ate there but the food looks good.If you go on a friday evening also has the attraction of a very lovely barmaid.

sorry got that wrong there drinks offer is �1-90.noticed while walking past it yesterday when yep youve guessed it,it was virtually empty
26 Nov 2006 10:40
good pub with decent beer,extremely cheaply priced.Friendly regulars and staff
26 Nov 2006 10:39
just started to offer drinks for �1-50 a day all day Sunday to thursday,maybe in a bid to encourage some custom,cos Redcars got lots of pubs that are way better than this
25 Nov 2006 13:10
Nice pub for a meal.Gets very crowded lunchtimes mind.Beer not bad
25 Nov 2006 13:09
nicely refurbished pub with relaxing sofas.overall a very pleasant experience
22 Feb 2006 11:39
Great fun place.When we were there saw a woman of at least 60 get off with a fella in his 30s.then when he went home tried someone else!!!
Big screen,good beer and friendly staff and locals
20 Feb 2006 19:14
might well be a good pub but we waited 10 mins be served on a sunday teatime before walking out.Having said that how they expect 2 barmaids to cope when there live footie on the tv and the pub is heaving ive no idea.Come on get some more staff weatherspoons!!!
20 Feb 2006 19:13
despite the somewhat undeserved reputation Loftus has locally i decided to risk a few beers in here.Can honestly say had a very friendly welcome and beer was incredibly cheap
20 Feb 2006 19:04
The Marine, Saltburn by the Sea
Lovely and friendly pub with nice views of the sea up at Saltburn.Very friendly regulars and bar staff
20 Feb 2006 19:02
This is quite honestly, apart from a pub i once visited in Drumchapel,Glasgow,The worst pub ive ever visited and possibly the one ive felt least safe in ever.beer was utterly grotty,customers tried staring me out and overall just a dump.Let it go the way of Pokesdowns White Horse!!!
20 Feb 2006 19:01
Lovely big pub,with pool table.Serves really decent food as well.One drawback is its 50p for a blackcurrant spash !!!
20 Feb 2006 18:46
Lovely friendly little pub.very cheap beer 1-5pm monday to fridays.Seperate pool table,though could do with mo0re "cue room" !!!
Overall loved my 3 visits there earlier this month.Maybe was the charming company i had with me that helped!!!

The Tapp & Hobbit, Bournemouth
Now run by Lyn,once landlady of the Jug of ale,so as you can imagine its a properly run pub,beers kept properly.Overall a very pleasant experience to visit this pub
27 Mar 2005 18:46
Theres enough proper pubs in redcar without bothering with this jd weatherspoons chain.
27 Mar 2005 18:24
The Sir Percy Florence Shelley, Boscombe
Going downhill very quickly these days,caters to a mixture of non smokers and local scumbags in the main.
27 Mar 2005 18:21
Greens is an ok pub,nice relaxing sofas and tetleys/carlsberg at �1.60 a pint up till 7pm.My one major gripe about the place is thatit cloeses at 7pm on a sunday evening!!!
27 Mar 2005 18:19
Mike,the landlord has run this pub for about 10 years now.Very small irish themed pub and one of the last drinking places left in the town
27 Mar 2005 18:12
Quite cheap early evening,�2 for carling and �2.20 for heineken.All glasses have the brand of your drink on them.lovely friendly women behind the bar
27 Mar 2005 17:58
went in here when i visited Redcar couple of weeks ago and can honestly say the staff and cucstomers were among the friendliest ive met anywhere.
27 Mar 2005 17:49
The Baracuda Bar, Redcar
Now called The Livery and has improved a bit on what it was but to be honest that wouldnt be too hard to do
