I think this pub should be called "The Allepo Merchant". I have not been here for many years but only the address is Caersws - Carno is a village 4 miles or so away

DO NOT be taken in by the appealing photo. There are many good boozers in the area

Friendly local with good local beers. Do not know what it was like before but staff are friendly and helpful. On regular half hourly bus service between Chester-le-street and Stanley

I agree with welshboy88. A sadly run down pub that should be better. When pubs start shutting in Caersws we are in problems

Used the Camanachd Bar on Somerled Square opposite the bus station. Friendly and welcoming with live music at the weekend

Bit of a dark horse this one. Seems nothing from outside. The bar is at first floor level - locals enter from the street behind. Friendly and lively

Friendly local. Seems to be run by the neighbouring Indian restaurant

Real Ale available. Quality variable to say the least. Do not believe the certificates for Training and Beer Quality - they must come easily in Portree. Food variable also. Good quality big screen

Surprising to find a yuppee bar in Portree but nice to have an alternative. Extensive wine list and over 30 whiskies on the Whisky list. Real Ales available on occasions. Live local music also. Attentive staff. Not cheap

Nice little pub with good cask beers and ciders. Friendly staff and customers. Good food and a nice sun terrace. Can not understand the negative commnets

Great traditional local with a family atmosphere. Two or three cask beers beautifully kept. Should be main aim in Whitstable after some disappointments

Fine friendly local club that welcomes visitors. Good draught beer. Live R&B band on Saturdays

It is a long time since I had to ask for my money back but the arrogant and offensive landlord offered when I asked "Are you happy to serve that?". The beer was undrinkable and my friend felt obliged to leave her lager. Apparently there is a good view of the harbour from the restaurant - I did not get that far

The Lethbridge Arms, Bishops Lydeard
16th C coaching inn close to the bus stop from Taunton and Minehead. Good beer and food

This IS a very friendly pub where locals mix happily with visitors. The best pint of Sussex Bitter I had on the South coast. Perhaps they don't suffer fools gladly from some of the other comments

The Crewe and Harpur Arms, Longnor
This pub used to be very atmospheric and a part of the village like the other pubs with good beer and food and an endless supply of pub games and friendly locals. Unfortunately it has been destroyed by yuppies

Fine boozer with real people behind the abr and in front of it. Nice beer too

The Duke Of Cumberland Hotel, Whitstable
I agree with Mr Faber. The staff are not suited to the customer service environment. Beer poor also
31 Aug 2008 13:16
visited again yesterday. Beer excellent. Horse racing fanatics in the bar ensure that Saturday afternoons are really atmospheric

The Kingsway/Charlie Browns, Stoke On Trent
re-opened as The White Star an Everards/Titanic venture. Beer improved
31 Aug 2008 13:06
Again a lovely pint of Bass - also London Pride and that strong beer from Moorhouses, which my friends enjoyed. Don't always agree with CAMRA but they have got this one right - PUB OF THE MONTH for December. Get down and enjoy. Actually don't believe me read their local rag - 'Potters Bar'

although 'modernsied' still retains the separate bar. If you want the lounge you will have to go outside and round the building to the other side. Priceless

The Wheatsheaf, Stoke on Trent
News to me. Poor and at times undrinkable real ale served by blinkered, ignorant barstaff who seem to be particularly disinterested in customer service. Give it a wide berth unless your only interest is in price and then you would be better off in the supermarket !

lively pre-nightclub bar with friendly staff and a good variation of music from Tom on the decks

One of two Irish bars in town. This one has has two bars the main bar on the main level decked out in a traditional wooden style. In the cellar there is live music every Weds, Fri and Sat. As with many of these bars can be a little overrun by British, Irish and other English speaking ex-pats especially in the Summer. Can be busy with locals in the Winter - all Guinness is expensive in Europe but here it is worth the price
7 Mar 2005 20:23
they call it 'altstadtlokal' or old town local and it certainly is. Many local characters in a tiny bar decked out with masses of maritime memoribilia. Good drink of smooth Warsteiner

One of the oldest bars in Luebeck - which has plenty of them!!
They do six beers on draught including their own Dunkel which is extremely moorish
7 Mar 2005 20:09
serves the excellent if slightly sweet bio-beer Pinkus.
Also does a wide range of vegetarian food
7 Mar 2005 20:06
nic little bar that doesn't open until late but this means you can often leave in the light of the next morning - from experience
7 Mar 2005 20:04
Some obscure comments on this fine pub. Decent Guinness, good selection of varying real ales and great food ALL day. The staff are welcoming and obliging. I wasn't going to write anything because I really don't want this place to become too popular but I had to balance the foregoing which has no relationship to reality

now they have Bomber only - they used to have all four Thwaites beers
19 Feb 2005 08:55
Last night they also had 'London Pride' - I think I tried perhaps one too many !

The George and Dragon, Macclesfield
friendly local next to bus and train stations. if you don't think you like robbies best you should try it here - wonderful
12 Feb 2005 15:05
this is a great little pub stuffed with brasses. Decent beer too
12 Feb 2005 15:01

The Royal Oak Hotel, Welshpool
It is the main [Best Western] hotel in the town centre, It has two public bars with a good variety of real ales and good food

Red Lion, Earl Shilton
Visited again and again the Bass was very good. They also sell Abbot among other beers. Ignore the local CAMRA who got the second beer wrong! Comfortable covered and heated patio. Friendly locals
