Brewers Fayre, Rugby

I recently organised a larger dining out evening here for 30 people and I have to say that this was the best venue that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The manager couldn't do enough to help, the food was amazing and the cost was very reasonable, coming to around �450 for 30 3 course meals with drinks. Fantastic!

The Alexandra Arms, Rugby

OK so its not the best looking pub in Rugby.

Yes it could definately do with a lick of paint.

BUT it is one of the very few remaining places where "alternative" people are able to meet and drink without there being the potential for a riot. Due to the location of this small, yet homely, pub it is ideal for a quiet drink or two before you continue the rest of your night out.

The previous comments make reference to the disco which is put on some weekends, and about it being too loud. Do these people realise that the seven stars is just round the corner if they are looking for somewhere to sit in silence? Why, if it is such an issue do you continue to frequent the premises?

The food is proper pub grub, which suits me down to the ground, and the drinks are reasonably priced to match. As for the staff, I have never found them to be anything less than professional, cheerful and welcoming.

Top pub, lets hope that it sticks around, lest we lose yet more identity from Rugby and take another step toward becoming Chavby

The Courthouse, Rugby

So here we have it...Rugby is turning into a generic chavtastic town one pub at a time by stripping down any venue aimed at people who like other genres of music other than RnB and Hip Hop. Fantastic. This pub WAS great as a general hangout for anyone who fancied a drink with friends, now however you need to own at least 2 velour tracksuits just to walk through the door without feeling like you need 999 on speed dial. Awful place. All colour, atmosphere and character has been replaced with a cheap and shoddy bright white 'make over', attempting to turn this potentially beautiful building into a modern-esque club style pub hybrid eye sore. Pointless activity, and pointless expenditure.

Weeknights are cheap drink night though, so i guess its a bonus if you get absolutely smashed and forget exactly where you are.

Make sure you strap your shoes on tight as you willinvariably lose a shoe, possibly both shoes, if you don't.

Awfully generic, pointless, Midas Lounge type of pub with nothing to offer but the promise of trouble on a Friday night and rude bar staff who don't appear to have a clue what they are doing.

For your own sanity avoid this pub as if your life depends on it, or risk having it severely comprimised!
