Modern minimalist decor. Very decent pint of Guinness. Well worth a visit.

Called in The Barmouth Hotel to watch the Premiership footy after walking the Mawddach estuary. Ordered my Guinness and asked what bitters were available. The barman offered me Worthington draught which was pretty ordinary but failed to mention that they had Doombar on had pump. Very disappointing. Not the worst pub I've been in but not the best either.

A group of us walked the Mawddach Estuary trail and The Last Inn was the first pub we found on our way into Barmouth but what a find!!
The Last Inn has it all. The Guinness was outstanding,the best I have tasted for a very, very long time. My fellow walkers enjoyed the selection of real ales and malt whiskeys. The barman was extremely knowledgeable about his beers and spirits. The restaurant was very busy and the food smelt delicious but I could not be deflected away from my Guinness! Outstanding!!

Cosy olde worlde pub - excellent Guinness and a good selection of ales. Friendly staff. Food was ok but nothing special but in their defence it was a match day and the kitchen was very busy. About 30 minute walk to the stadium. Will definitely call again if we're in the area.

The Axe and Compass, Hemingford Abbots
An oldie worldie pub set in a beautiful English village. 12 of us arrived in a mini bus at 15 minutes notice and all of us enjoyed lovely meals at reasonable prices served in a polite and friendly manner. There was a good choice of ales which seemed to go down well and my Guinness was good but it was the extra cold variety which I'm not overly keen on. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

My first visit to The Vine and I was very impressed. Very busy with people taking a break from Xmas shopping. Spread over 3 floors with 2 bars, there was a good choice of real ales and my Guinness was particularly good.

The best pint of Guinness I have tasted in a very long time! What more can I say?

A Wetherspoons Hotel, we stayed here 1 night for a college re-union. Large room with a big bay window with a panoramic view over Great Malvern and beyond. Tasty breakfast which was excellent value. Good range of beers on tap, all at discount prices.

Called in for a last drink on the way back to my hotel after a concert on a Wednesday night. Very quiet but the Guinness was good and the bar staff were very pleasant.

The Bentinck Hotel, Nottingham
Stayed 1 night here when we visited Nottingham for a concert. Good location, nice room and excellent breakfast. Didnt have a drink as they didnt serve Guinness, only a couple of real ales and Spanish lager.

Enjoyed a couple of pints of Guinness and a nice steak on our way to a concert. Really enjoyed both and the staff were very helpful and efficient. Will call in again next time we're in the area.

An away friendly pub but now a victim of it's own success. Absolutely rammed full, plastic glasses and doormen now the norm. On the plus side the service is always very efficient.

Visited on match day and although the pub was rammed full, the service was quick and the Guinness very good. Very much an Arsenal pub but even as an away fan we were made to feel welcome and the Chas n Dave type entertainment was great fun. We'll definitely be back next season!

The Old Wellington Inn, Manchester
Enjoyed a meal and a couple of pints of Guinness en route to the MEN arena. Very busy but despite this,the service was friendly and efficient and the beer was very good if a little expensive.

Called in for a drink en route to a canal side restaurant and enjoyed a good pint of Guinness served by very friendly staff. Nice to see an old fashioned style pub surviving in a sea of night clubs and wine bars.

The Grey Horse Inn, Manchester
Stumbles across this friendly little pyub while looking for somewhere else. Enjoyed it so much I didnt bother going anywhere else. Excellent Guinness and really friendly and helpful staff made it a real pleasure.

Friendly local in a great location with views of the famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct. Well worth a visit.

The Hare of the Dog, Perry Barr
Our regular watering hole when on an away day at Villa Park. Nothing special about the place but probably the best of a poor bunch in that area.

Called Saturday lunchtime on route to Villa Park. Warm welcome. Excellent selection of beers. Pig On The Wall proved particularly popular. Will call in again when in the area.

Called here on the way to the footy and we were made to feel very welcome. Good range of well kept beers. A bit out of the town centre but well worth the visit.

Latest licensee has turned the place around. Good mix of drinkers of all ages and types. Particularly popular with those who enjoy a drink after work. Well worth a visit.
24 Jan 2013 19:48
Now called The Castle View and despite a refurb is still one to avoid.
24 Jan 2013 19:43
Latest Licensees are making a real effort. Beer is well kept, food good value and entertainment a couple of times a week. Well worth a visit.

Managed house now. Not a patch on what it used to be. Last time I was in the Guinness was awful! Real shame.
24 Jan 2013 19:36
Canal side pub with plenty of outside decking. Good selection of beers and a wide choice of food.

We stayed here 2 nights whilst visiting the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor. It was great value accommodation and my friends enjoyed all the real ales on offer. I'm a Guinness man and that was very good too. The landlady, Michelle, was a real star, even getting up at 5-30am to give us breakfast before we set off to enjoy the golf. We were entertained in the evenings by a folk band who were staying in the Lodge - low budget accommodation attached to the main pub. A really enjoyable couple of nights.

The Top White Lion Inn, Oswestry
Has changed very little since I bought my first pint here in 1976! When you see what they've done to so many pubs perhaps that's no bad thing. Decent beer and entertainment most weekends.

The new licencee John has really lifted the place. Very much a local pub. Satellite TV including horse racing. Entertainment every weekend. Good atmosphere and a nice mix of drinkers.
31 May 2010 22:06
Has been extensively refurbed. Beautiful beer garden. En-suite accommodation. Lunchtime home cooked food.The pub has worked hard to shake off it's bad boy image.
31 May 2010 22:03
Now a disco/shots/karaoke bar. Very popular at weekends but definitely not a beer drinkers pub.

Oswestry Conservative Club, Oswestry
Now known as Bar 35. Large wine bar style pub. Beer garden. Good lunchtime menu. Entertainment most weekends.
31 May 2010 21:34
The new Conservative Club. Good lunchtime trade with value for money meals. Open to all. Entertainment at weekends.
31 May 2010 21:30
Friendly atmosphere, good food and decent selection of real ales. Function room with live entertainment most weekends.

Very busy pub in main high street. Excellent beer. Satellite TV.

Recently refurbished and now called The Bullring Bar. Linked to the Smithfield Hotel next door. Friendly and busy atmosphere. Beer still of a good standard.

The Howard Arms, Carlisle
Very busy on pub on match day but still didn't have to wait long to be served. Old fashioned type of layout with lots of smallish rooms. Only tried the Guinness which was very good but they also had an extensive range of hand pulled ales. Well worth a visit.
