The Cork, Felixstowe

Dreary and scruffy. Once the Cork was one of Felixstowe�s finest pubs, where the landlord took pride in the appearance, and crucially, the beer. Now the Cork is a shadow of it�s former self, which is depressing. The one redeeming feature of the pub is it�s Victorian balcony. However, door staff enthusiastically stop you from taking your drinks onto the balcony, so it�s really somewhat pointless. With a little effort it could be a great place in a superb location, but at the moment it isn�t, so for these reasons, The Cork scores 3/10 from me.

The Alex, Felixstowe

A pretentious pub with an uncomfortable and cliquey atmosphere, due in part amount of customers being soulless �yummy mummy� types. And whilst I also found the drinks and food to be expensive the lager was flat and the real ale was almost off. The food I had was overly greasy and oily. Staff were friendly, and The Alex is in a good seafront location, but that's not enough to redeem the negatives, so for these reasons, The Alex scores 3/10 from me.
