The Spinnaker, Docklands

The experience is something between an airport lounge and a school refectory. OK if you limit yourself to a about an hour and a frame or 2 of pool.... and you don't mind predictable packaged food and rather dull ales. I'd say stick to the Guiness unless you're Irish in which case ...just dont.

Badger Box, Kirkby in Ashfield

Nice that sometimes you get exactly what you expect from a pub. The Badger box makes no pretense and likewise offers no surprises- they just do everything quite well: Good and well kept ales - Greene King IPA / Old Speckled Hen, Hardys & Hansons Olde Trip + 1 Guest ale. [source = pub-explorer.com]. And commercial p*ss also available.
Good quality and value pub food food - just as you want it. They take their time serving it mind, but only when very busy, and you won't be disappointed. You can eat anywhere. Sweet bar staff and sociable atmosphere make for a good night. This is a sports bar style of pub jobbie - two tv screens doing setanta and skysports. (good atmosphere midweek when the champions league games are on). but also has a pub-restaurant section for quieter meetings.

Moloko, Winchester

Has the average age here increased up to 15? Sounds like not much has changed at Molokos, since we used to go in 2004/5 as it was the only place to get a drink after 11pm in Winchester, even if that drink did indeed look like a stale milkshake and cost about �8.
Not really fair I admit.. to review a pub that I haven't been to in 3 years. Evening was not complete without a fight and a cry afterwards.
I guess with the advent of id checks, the teens will be back snogging in their bus shelters, only to make way for more blokes working in IT standing out like sore pri**s.
Ahhh must go back to Winchester some time :-)
