The Station Hotel, Ipswich

Opposite the main railway station at the southern end of the town centre and beside the river. A long cream stuccoed building although one end is a companion Indian restaurant. One U shaped room with U shaped bar counter, three handpumps with dull Adnams Broadside, Woodfordes Wherry and an unused pump. Another pump on the back face of the bar was also unused. The standard kegs make an appearance on several T Bars. One end of the panelled wall room is taken up by a pool table, the rest has a mix of seating with tables and there is a big screen, the usual machines and a juke box, most of the space is available for vertical drinking. Friendly staff and customers although they were working (and unworking) men rather than the commuters you might expect. A dog friendly pub. It shuts early during the week and looks to be quite lively at weekends.
