The Globe, East Looe

Didn't get a chance to visit this place this year, but last year we all really enjoyed it in there. Fantastic to "people watch" over a pint at the tables outside and laugh at everyone stuck in the huge piles of traffic throughout the summer period!

Great views of the errrr.... police station (if you can call it a police station) never open apparently!
Opposite the train station and has a bus stop outside.... yet still saw the occasional drink driver!

Odd darts board layout..... not that a play darts

The Salutation Inn, East Looe

Thought this was a gay bar until we got chatting with the "locals"

Really cosy - wife fell in love with the gay barman/landlord?? She didn't want to leave!

Friendly

Amazing food! Garlic bread was strong (just how it should be)!

I agree, with the other contributers of the thread.... best grub in town!

Been here a few times over the years.... used to have a chunky barman who was "laugh a minute" but didn't see him there this time? Did he elope with a local lad?

The Harbour Moon, West Looe

Where to start!!!
This place has gone to the dogs! Dogs being the most appropriate word.... run by a complete bulldog of a woman (although saying that we weren't too sure of their actual sex)! Think cross between Steven Tyler and a dirty poodle! Enough to put anyone off their beer!
I had the joys of witnessing all the fool mouthed "gossip girls" at the end of the bar, one of which i believe was the daugther of the owner (again unsure of her sex either... hard to grasp the fact hermaphrodites run twice in one family).....
My wife was in utter shock at the conversations these women were having.... not a place to bring younger family members as would be subjected to the foul language and slutty behaviours of the so called "ladies" of this establishment! Mutton dressed as lamb and tried it on with me every time I went to the bar to get a drink!
Karaoke was "o.k" (for a laugh) - a must have to any visitor of Looe just to sample the locals vocal strengths! We wet ourselves with laughter every time someone opened their mouths! The landlady seemed to "love" everyone who got up to sing... swinging off their unkempt bodies like a wailing banshee with rotten bucked teeth and sagging breasts which were displayed openly for all the public! All the "locals" seemed to "adore" her.... I can't imagine why! The wife and I had to leave as I think she was going to climb onto the tables and put everyone off their overly priced food!
The restaurant looked half decent though, didn't have time to try out the food but the menu looked varied albeit pricey! Everyone milling around the doors puffing away as you walked by.... reeked of dirty cheap tobacco and a dirty cheap landlady upon arriving back at the hotel.
We were warned by some of the locals about this place...... but we had to see it to believe it! I suggest EVERYONE visit this "delightful" establishment - just for the laughs!
