Deacons, Salisbury

Deacons is one of the best drinkers' pubs in Salisbury. No nonsense, plain traditional bar at the front, small games room at the back and excellent beer. Sharp's Doombar and Summer Lightning were first class on my latest visit,and I've never had a bad pint here. An essential part of any Fisherton Street crawl and well worth a visit if waiting for a train.

There is nothing fancy about the Deacons that's for sure, just a great range of excellent beers, a good bunch of locals in dark but interesting surroundings. Beers from Sharps, and Hopback plus draught San Mig and Amstel, some interesting bottles lurking in the fridge. Tiny front bar but there is a bigger room at the back. Close to the station and the best pub close to it.
