The Salisbury Arms, Salisbury

Previously known as The Brewery Tap, but it is uncertain to which brewery this refers – probably a long defunct one as the pub was first serving ale in the late eighteenth Century. There is a single U-shaped bar and a small garden/smoking area at the back. It's now a fairly bland, soulless town pub with no real ale -they claim to have 'just run out' of Ringwood Best this time, but I have previously come away from here having heard similar excuses. It has improved greatly over the last five or so years, and the trouble which ussed to plague it has now largely gone, but it's still nowhere near as good as Salisbury's other nearby pubs. Worth watching to see if it improves.

A terraced mock Tudor styled pub, with stone wondow and door lintels etc, but a half white and timber look, with brick base. A bit of a hotch-potch. Has a beer garden. The interior had two rooms, the back room i didnt really see other than it had a pool table. The front room was in beige, red and white wood panel, with some brick and had a dart board. The service ok, there was nobody in apart from one guy with a supermarket shopping trolly, with, yes, lots of shopping in. There were a couple of TV's, showing Valley of the Gwangi and not a lot in the way of pictures or decortaion. Beer; tap stuff with Courage Directors on handpull, which was fine Just felt like a basic place really - a bit of an empty feel and there are far better places in Salisbury.
