Latest reviews from Weston Super Mare

“A rough around the edges British indie rock-themed bar in the centre of Weston-Super-Mare. You can enter from two streets, either through a haze of locals smoking on benches in a long narrow yard area, or straight into the pub from a quiet back street. We found the pub via the former. It was a lovely hot day so most people were outside, but we found solace in a quiet, smoke-free and cool inside. Around four cask lines devoted to independent brewers Quantock and Bristol Beer Factory. A verdant lager on keg, plus some crowd-pleasing lagers. Seems to have a nice worn feel about the place, and tends to attract a characterful rock / folk type crowd so can imagine this has a good atmosphere on weekends. Lights hanging on a cymbals around the ceiling. Interesting place.“

“Best haunt in Weston by a long shot and it certainly has a slight Halloween feel. Around 3 cask, 7 tap and 10 ciders options (bag in a box possibly) as well as a small can/bottle selection. Small venue but welcoming. Nice little find.“

“A 3 minute walk from the apartment we were staying in on a family holiday. Reading the previous review from 10 years ago it sounds like time has continued to stand still for this place and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Has an old fashioned down to earth charm to it including dartboard. 2 of the 6 handpumps were not in use but managed to find a new rate from a guest ale. St Austell seems to be popular here.“

“Friendly welcome. I think it was filled with local. Free WiFi. 4 hand pulls, 2 of which were ticks for me.“

“At the end of a row of hotels perpendicular to the seafront, but also facing it. This is still a hotel, although the pub area has clearly taken up some of the former rooms on the upper levels which includes a balcony overlooking the Bristol Channel and a terrace with glass wind shields. There’s ground level outdoor seating here too so it’s in a prime position for the better days in the summer months. It’s a decent enough place to find ales in Weston, although it’s quite a tight affair inside with lots of different defined areas to sit including plenty of ship and nautical themes including a video simulation of being at sea whilst sat in a pseudo below-deck of a galleon area. There’s been some thought and money put into this one by Wetherspoons.“

“The Waverley is a cosy, very friendly bar upstairs in an unusual building at the end of a little parade of shops set in a residential area of Weston, 10 or 15 minutes walk from the centre of town (or you can get the number 7 bus). It’s owned by the same people as the Criterion and although the beer range isn’t huge the atmosphere was great when I was there and I felt very much at home. Incidentally, it’s named after the world’s only surviving passenger carrying paddle steamer, which still occasionally ploughs its way up, down and across the Bristol Channel in summer.

“The Regency was full of locals when I visited but it felt like the kind of place that might normally be filled with holidaymakers in the summer season - perhaps it was the piles of tourist leaflets by the door that gave me this impression. At the front it has a mock Regency style bay window with bottle glass panes and at the back there’s a garden. In between, it’s traditionally decorated circa 1970 with a typical red patterned carpet, blue velour seating and black and white photos of old Weston on the walls. Although I’d heard (mainly) positive things about the place it was perhaps my least favourite of the few pubs I visited on a little crawl of Weston. It felt a bit soulless and the beer selection was quite limited. (Visited 23 March 2013).“

“I really liked the Criterion, despite it only having three of the six handpumps in use when I was there so that the choice of beer was limited. It’s a friendly, down to earth sort of place with no frills and no pretensions; a traditional local that feels worlds away from the touristy area of Weston down on the seafront.

“Cabot Court is on the seafront near the Winter Gardens and has a sign up saying that in severe weather you should enter by the side door. It was a blustery March day when I visited but not windy enough for the side door to be in use although I noticed that the wraparound balcony was closed and noone had been tempted to sit at the trestle tables outside on the pavement. Inside it was quite cosy, perhaps because the main bar is rather small for a Wetherspoons. It has a nautical feel and there’s a mezzanine area reminiscent of a poop deck, with spindly wooden rails and a ship’s wheel, plus a second bar upstairs with some interesting scenes of old Weston around the walls. The choice of beer was quite good, with a few local and not so local brews alongside the usual ’Spoons staples. (Visited 23 March 2013).“
