I visited this pub on July 10th and 12th 2006. The "Drunken Boat" has been open since 1999 and is essentially a gastro with a traditional French food menu. It is fine just to sit at the bar and enjoy a pint (or a glass of wine - up to 250 varieties available by the glass!) No American beers here, but European lagers are available on draught. The atmosphere rocks in the late evening with friendly jovial staff plus a convivial mix of drinkers-only and diners. Lively, melodic music is played and there is a party feel to the place late at night. Le Bateau Ivre is located next to the Pickwick Arms hotel where I stayed during my trip, making this just about the most convenient pub in the world to end a crawl! I remember with great fondness being welcomed in from a ferocious thunderstorm on the night of the 12th. Do visit. lad_newton - 1 Mar 2007 21:58 |
