| Agree with the previous comments. Straight forward boozer. Bigger than it seems with space to sit out back. Will pop in again when I'm Cowes bound. Jonnysaint - 3 Jan 2013 10:31 |
| Seemed an inviting enough place on my last IOW visit in 2008, and returning a couple of weeks ago it was equally pleasant. Simple decor, easy-going staff & customers, good beer (the house ale - from the local 'Island Brewery' iirc - was cheap & extremely more-ish); not an essential diversion, but if you're in Cowes then it's worth calling in.

| "The Veccy" as its known has smartened up its act no end since the sorry days of a two-three years ago when you were harrassed by aging drunk women demanding brass for the juke box "cos you were listening to their tunes". There's not nearly as many youths and drug dealing in there since its re-fit. Its now a pleasant environment, though there's not a pool table anymore, and the dykes that used to tend the bar are no more. They've retained the Isle of Wight brew though: Golden Bitter from the Ventnor Brewery. its the only place in Cowes you can get one of their ales. Golden is a very distinctive beer: light and hoppy, but the distinctiveness comes in its after-taste: I think they use burnt malt. Real good. Nice little area at the front to spill out into when it gets busy inside and they show certain football matches an all. No grub here, except for the occasional BBQ out front in the summer. The real snooty will still find fault, but for me the "Veccy" is a little gem. BrianHaigh - 6 Nov 2008 23:13 |
