Half Moon, Rugby

A little way out from the town centre, so this is more of local than most of those you pass en route. Quite an old-fashioned, three-part interior with the modest bar leading to two further rooms featuring the pool table and dartboard. Simple furniture and a limited amount of traditional decor. Slightly surprisingly - given that the place is up for let by Admiral - all four handpumps were in operation and dispensing Black Sheep, Courage Best, Otter Amber and Butcombe Gold (£3.40).

The Half Moon is a smallish town pub that is a short walk from the town centre. Once inside there is a smallish L shaped room,there was some narrow bench seating to the front right and a pool table and darts board to the front left,the floor was part tiled and bare boarded. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Hook Norton bitter which went down very well,the other beers were Black Sheep bitter and Courage best. There was some decent background music playing,a couple of friendly locals who were playing pool directed me to a couple of out of town pubs. The friendly pub dog bothered me during my Saturday dinner visit,i dont like dogs and definatly dont like being bothered by them while i am drinking. This is a decent locals pub.

A friendly locals pub that started out life as two terraced houses, now knocked into one to form the pub. The left hand side is the tap room with a pool table, darts & skittles. The right hand side has more of a lounge feel. We were greeted by the very friendly pub dog. Personally I like pub dogs and think that a pub dog or cat adds character to a place, but each to their own. I enjoyed my visit here and whilst the ale range isn't as good as several other pubs in Rugby the quality was very good. A good solid pub and one I'd definitely consider visiting again next time we're in Rugby.
