The Commercial Rooms, Bristol

Went there on an evening out with my finnish girlfriend. Staying in bristol for the weekend at the local motel. Went early bought two dinners for cheap and a great bottle of wine! What a difference a totally non-smoking environment made! all pubs should go that way. The air smelt fresh and the beer and wine tasted great. Def 10 rating.

Old Gaol House, Winchester

Well this was the student pub to start out on if you were enrolled at King Alfreds College (before it reached university status). Back in 2000 i used to reside above this pub in one of the street facing rooms. This was where a local busienss man (iforget his name) used to cram students in at 10 a penny like sheep. But hey those were student days for you. Besides the furniture didnt last long and the poor cleaners had a hell of a time.Too many parties! Good times. Oh yeah the pub. Cheap, Cheerful. Great �free house beers... spitfire, thumper, christmas specials. yum. Bit smoky though. They should akll be like the weatherspoons in bristol. Totally non-smoking. It is such a relief to not have ash in your food or pint! and to not smell like you just rescued 15 cheerleaders from a wet leaf burning competition that had spriralled out of control.
