New Bowling Green, Warwick

A locals pub for local people, good luck getting served here if Old Tom wants to push in in front of you. Unfriendly and unwelcoming, its one for the locals

A great looking black and white timbered old pub. The room to the left was full of diners on our visit. There's another small room to the right and a small area towards the rear which leads to a big beer garden. Friendly service from the barman even though he was serving meals at the same time. My pint of Wells Golden Cauldron was in good nick. It's a very pleasant pub.

For me it is the porter which sells this place. On every visit there hasn't been just the one to choose from and as a fan of the darker ale this is right up my street. It is a very compact and intimate pub but well worth a visit and very convenient for the Castle and River Avon.

A town centre white and timber framed terraced Charles Wells pub The interior has two rooms; a bar/lounge and a 'games/quiet' room. The L shaped bar/lounge was generally in white, with a TV showing the Cheltenham festival (hence we moved into the other room). The bar had a mural on the wall seemingly showing Warwick folk. The games room, in crimson with a brick fireplace and wood floor had chess and other board games, but was a lot quieter. The service was fine, even when we returned our initial pints - the barrel swiftly changing. The clientele seemed a mature mix and the music, supplied by the radio, was at a decent level. There were planty of ceiling and support beams giving the place a touch of the historic feel. Beer; tap stuff, with Wells' Bombardier and a decent enough IPA - its just not really to my taste. The guest that we had to return was Castle Rock Elsie Mo. I liked this place, and was please to go despite Wells not being my favourite brewery. Try it!
