Musty old fashioned and welcoming surprise of a pub. We stayed for a couple whilst waiting for The Victoria's 16.00 opening..
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magpie - Best | 4.20 | | Copper and full of malt character, boasting fantastically fruity First Gold and Bramling Cross British hops |
| Burton Bridge - Stairway To Heaven | 5.00 | | Crystal clear yet acetic and lifeless.. |
| Marston's - 61 Deep | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Brakspear (at Marston's Wychwood) - Gravity (was Bitter) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

Evening. A rarity now - a pub with long standing traditional licensees. Immediate feeling of inclusivity and mandatory conversation.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dow Bridge - Acris | 3.80 | | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Awful with caramel off taste and smell. Just left most of it and skedaddled |
| Dow Bridge - Imperial Stout | 4.90 | Not Tried |

Quick visit on way to railway station. Despite the diminutive size of this endearing pub, a band was getting ready to perform.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dow Bridge - Centurion | 4.00 | | Amber-coloured and fruity. Apple taste that I didn’t think was meant to be there. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Bitter | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 3PU.
This traditional, former Marston's, free trade house in Church Street has a warm welcome and real fire in winter, and provides the atmosphere to enjoy the changing guest ales, including a LocAle (usually Dow Bridge). Live acoustic music forms a large part of the weekly calendar of events. This 18th century building is one of the oldest in Rugby. Now a single room pub it was originally three tiny rooms and the boundaries are still clearly evident. Low ceiling adds to the feeling of cosiness. 6 handpumps sell 4 real ales and usually 2 ciders.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 14 different beers and tried 7 of them.
