Murphy's, Leamington Spa

This is a strange pub, but in a good way. If the sight of Batman, Superman and Spiderman doesn't draw you in, I don't know what will! Packed full of odd items inside as well. One ale in the shape of Slaughterhouse Saddleback which was in great shape. Service was very friendly and it is a must do for me if I am back in the area!

Quirky street corner pub which has become something of a Leamington institution over its 25 years of existence, though you could be forgiven for thinking it's been there a lot longer. There's no question of any pubco gastro design team here, indeed no question or any design at all, it's evolved randomly and contain a vast array of memorabilia, photos of events and the many charitable activities the pub supports and just about anything else. The clientele is roughly similar to a Wetherspoons, with loyal daytime drinkers followed by a mixed crowd of all ages later on. The atmosphere, however, is much livelier than any your find in a JDW, and it's popular with local sports clubs. Slaughterhouse Saddleback is the regular real ale on offer, always in top condition. Not to be missed.
