Always was a decent pub for live music and Castlerock beers, but please note the landlord has gone bankrupt and the WHISTLE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED UP.(Posted on Feb 24th '13)

Made a detour to this place on the way from the brewing museum to the Burton Bridge. Although fairly empty in weekday mid-afternoon, there was agood selection of ales available. Efficient friendly service.
|
Disappointing. Normally had to wait 5 minutes to get served as the barman kept going AWOL. Pint of vinegar was then served. Not worth the effort of finding the place.
|
Good pub, big TV for football, music stages, good pint of Castle Rock Harvest Pale. Livesaver Jan 1 when everything else was shut, never been to a town before where none of the other town centre pubs open until 3pm.....

Disappointed with this place. The pub website makes the place sound interesting - it's a gig venue, has a newsagents in it, has a cafe in it that opens before the pub. On my visit I found the place to be a bit of a dive. I won't bother again. Not worth the walk our of town. A pub for the locals methinks. The Wetmore Chippy next door was superb. 2/10.

The beer here was excellent - I had the harvester gold yesterday evening which was top class in taste and price but was not made welcome by the staff and other customers which was disappointing given the reputation of this pub
|
Great pub with friendly atmosphere and great ales. Will go later in the day next time we visit this and it has live music and great entertainment. Well worth a visit.

Love this place at the weekend,well out of town away from all the youngsters,live music every Saturday night.Castle Rock Harvest Gold is my particular tipple,but theres a good range available.
|
Only been in once but was most impressed with the quality and range of beers. The only minus is that it is a little off the beaten track for casual visitors, however it is well worth walking the extra yards to find.
|
Friendly pub with a good choice of beers including those from his own brewery, Castle Rock
|
Following a refurbishment this pub offers a great selection of real ales and a varied programme of live entertainment. It's handy for a drink before or after Burton Albion home games at the Pirelli Stadium.
