Nags Head
Authentic local, slightly dingey and with   floorboards in the bar. Good choice of real ales - all very well kept. The Bass had a distinctive fruity taste. The Landlord Bitter was just superb. The scaffolding pole that once held up the ceiling has been replaced by a nice oak beam. Reputedly haunted - perhaps the ghost lives in the jettied medieval half timbered building at the back - dating to 1420. Collection of black & white photos. Nice beer garden - just try and ignore the razor wire. Pub food comprises of butties or crisps only. Guest ales. Situated on Wyle Cop. Tel - 01743 362455. Visited Mar 2008

Old Lion Tap
Freehouse. Tasty chip baguettes. Pool table is expensive at 70p a play. Building used to be a old cotton mill. It’s not the most comfortable pub in town – and looks a bit austere. Bass used to taste okay but at the time of the last visit in was cold and keg like. Situated off Wyle Cop down Barracks Passage. Tel - 01743 270330. Visited Jun 2000
