The Blue Lion, Bracknell

This pub has been closed for months, it's all boarded up and empty.

The Royal Oak, Bracknell

Visited recently - it's still open despite no comments in nearly two years. Lacking in atmosphere, welcome, and beer - four hand pumps, only two in use, not impressed with the quality of the beer (not bad, but not great either). Patio area out the back was a disgrace - weeds growing in the paving, looks like the leaves haven't been swept up since the autumn, and broken glass too. Music slightly too loud indoors - and does anybody really want piped music outside? A real shame - if it was tidied up and maybe a few troughs of plants added then this could be a nice place to drink on a summer evening. As past reviews have mentioned, only the last couple of pictures attached to these reviews are actually this pub!

The Cricketers, Warfield

Although this place hasn't had any comments in five years, it does still seem to be open. However, on turning up at lunchtime today (a Monday) there were only two cars in the car park (my guess is staff) and nobody outside in the garden despite it being a beautiful hot and sunny day. Having gone out to find some lunch the blackboard outside the front door saying "No bar food, no card services, open for drinks only" had us turn around and go elsewhere. The place looks a bit shabby and deserted... a real shame, given it's location and spacious garden I'm surprised it wasn't packed on such a nice day.
