Go here for the musics sometimes. The beer is decent too

There last night. A good band on upstairs albeit a little boisterous with several big guys dancing with each other.
Downstairs was more comfortable. Should get better when some of the Poole regulars start to migrate here but currently full of strangers

The Spotted Cow welcome is good, not sure what they are doing with upstairs yet but theres plenty of room downstairs. They only have 1 real ale on at the moment (on 2 pumps) but it is Ringwood Best which is a pretty good session ale. Lagers are 1664 and Carling I believe, not sure about any others - I think at least 1 'smooth' type of bitter and a cider (Weston's possibly) on draught. Havent sampled the food, but I did see menus on display, so they are running food again. 7/10 I'd say

Opening again on Friday 1st May as 'The Spotted Cow' - looks like a return to being a live music venue too (they have a band booked for their opening night anyway) Not rated it as I dont know what its going to be like yet

Now called....
Wait for it....
"The Pub On The Quay"...
(How many times can a pub change it's name?)
Still, a nice pub in a very good location...

Plucked up the courage to enter a pub with a name as daft as this last Sunday, we headed upstairs as I had heard that they did a good Sunday roast up there. I had heard correct! - very nice roast beef at 6.95. The only real downside was that ALL the ales were off, so I drank draft coors (which was ok) The upstairs part is geared towards Chinese/Thai food and the menu looked good, if a little expensive - certainly cheaper than City Bay Views though. Will have to try out the menu one day

It's called "Hectors House"
Seemed like one of the better pubs on the front, not as rough and some lovely furniture.

Now it's become "Hectors House" of TV fame....
Beers always fresh and cold, and the barstaff are always more than happy to assist me with my next mornings hangover...
