The Legion, Atherstone

The Legion is a large looking pub situated in the middle of Atherstone. Once inside this seems more like an ex service mens club which it was than pub. The bar is situated in a smallish oblong shaped area to the front,this area had a TV showing horse racing,the seating was pew type and normal tables and chairs,the room was carpeted,there is a much larger room to the rear which is also oblong shaped this room had long bench seating running down each side and lots of normal tables and chairs in the middle area,there was a stage to the rear. There were no real ales on the bar,that was no surprise,the two keg options were John Smiths Smooth Crap and Worthington keg crap,i had a drink of the Worthington which was crap. The front bar was very busy with people in flat caps typical of an ex service mens club. Not really my sort of pub. Pub visited 25/10/2014
