user reviews of the Admiral Boscarn, East Looe

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Visited on a Friday evening out of season, well walked past it to look at the sea.
A huge barn of a place with little of note about it or having any architectural merit. Perhaps it was a cinema or small theatre in a former life, it now looks and I suspect feels rather like a holiday camp entertainment venue. Looking through the window lots of sky sport and mostly lager on tap. Have a go if you must but I think that there are better options for a pint in Looe.

A pretty awful place to be fair.
We only went in here because we couldn't get into our holiday cottage yet.
It is a youngsters pub so they probably love it.
Saw many people walk in and then walk back out as it is the only pub on Looe seafront.
A real let down for the area, did sell Doombar but still rubbish.

3/10

This pub/bar, that has never been run to its potential may be on the way out. The entire property is on the market for £1.25 million, and is promoted as "land" rather than "pub". Apparently any talk of Wetherspoons was turned down by the town a while back as it would have killed off any other pub in the town.

Only used the beer garden, very nice on a sunny afternoon. Real ale was Doombar which was quite nice.

Feeling fearless on a Friday lunchtime I went in alone.
What's the fuss? To be fair I did not have a pint as there was no real ale, but it was loads more attractive than the Bullers and no feeling of menace. A bit " night clubish" but clean and no odour. The beer garden was not open.

i would say ullapool but i'd blow a gasket if you started to diss some of those pubs. i tend to go on ambience in a pub and not the drinks. i did like a lot of the pubs in looe, specifically the jolly sailor and the fishermans. i used to like the bullers but the clientele let it down. i like spit and sawdust pubs y'see. must be the rock fan in me.

I'm glad you are coming round to my way of thinking, Mr mph, about rubbish pubs in Looe. I couldn't believe there was one you didn't like.
Dare I ask where you would like me to go on holiday next year?
Somehow I don't think I should have said that. All good fun though........eh?

good grief fuggle, i bet the publicans welcomed you back with open arms. you did complain about every pub though didn't you? for the record, it's mr mph and i think this pub is one of the worst i've ever set foot in.
mph - 14 Aug 2011 00:24
From the outside I thought this might be a Wetherspoon type of pub. Inside, however, it made the 'spoon's look like the Ritz of pubs.
Hey, hang on a minute, I take it all back. Last year I was accused by "mph", a fellow BITE member, of slagging off pubs in Looe. Well Mr, or is it Miss mph? I'm sure you must enjoy this gem of a pub during one of your visits to Looe.

I think the boscarn is the best pub in looe, it has lovely staff ( especially jon) and a very nice atmospher. Once your known around there everyone gets used to you and it's amazing. My best friend and I go with my brother and he gets along perfectly with the staff and they take us out on outings, STOP MAKING BAD REMARKS ABOUT THIS GREAT PUB!�

Went in there. Wish I never!

Oustide looks better than the inside.

Stank in the bar they should make them bring fags back in there to cover it up. Is there suage dranes or something right underneath?

Dark, dank and grubby. Drinks overpriced. Bar staff ... think deliverance and double it. There was a smell of BO everywhere except the beer garden which is nice. The toilets smelt of BO plus something else a bit 'dog dirty'. The 'Discotheque' upstairs was full of drunken toddlers with ASBOs, spillage, vomit, lunging grunting bouncers with with more 'air between the ears' than 'air on the head'. Some 'woman' tried to grope me at the bar and vomited on my shoes when I turned her down.

0/10

Poxy!

Warm and welcoming, friendly staff. Good food, very clean and tidy. Big screen TV and Kareoke night on Fridays.

Beer garden is nice but the rest of this dump needs flattening. Full of chavy kids with their fake Burberry clad children. Looks like it hasn't been renovated since the Bay City Rollers were No1.
Badger350 - 30 Jun 2008 23:05
terrible downstairs. terrible food. Ok if the upstairs beer garden is open for a nice cold lager with a sea view. avoid peak times is full of kids and their kids

Who needs timetravel when you have the Admiral Boscarn? I enjoyed being back in the '70s - it was Karaoke night - like every other night. There was one old gal who had the voice of a songbird but the rest must have been tone deaf - unlike me sadly. And they kept coming back for more, more, more!!! No-one seemed to mind, everyone was laughing and grinning and enjoying it. Sure, there were a few children playing offground tig on the 70's decor, and the draught beer was an embarrasment but the atmosphere was tops. The nightclub upstairs was alright for �3. Definitely worth a visit.

Wouldn't say as bad as previous.
This pub appears to double as a nightclub. Large building with big long bar featuring a wide range of Lagers, but also a Doombar for the ale drinkers amongst us.
Seafront location so admittedly aims 4 the torist market.

My Rating 7/10

This pub is awful more like a creche when I went(on two occasions) pushchairs and screaming children running round the place. A pub that caters for the summer tourists only Even the locals avoid it. Overpriced no atmos and rundown
