The Salmon, Leicester

First time in this pub. Excellent! loads of great brews on the bar and a nice welcoming feel to the place. Lots of Rugby memorabilia on the walls and many Tigers fans drowning thier sorrows after defeat at the hands of Quins in the playoff final. Really clean toilets and a suntrap of a back yard, great for drying your shorts off after your mate deposited a pint in your lap! Will call again, one of the best in Leicester.

A gem of a pub this one and well worth a visit. The pub consists of a central bar with good settling areas to enjoy your beers and not be disturbed by any loud music and gaming machines. Five ales on offer, I went for the Dark Star Partridge and Raw Brewery Equinox. Good food served and staff friendly.

I recently visited this lovely public house in the middle of Leicester city. The Proprieter has already helped an owner of The Raglan Arms in Rugby, Warwickshire,achieve 3 camra awards. One being Warwicshire Pub Of The Year 2009. Now having his own establishment, I recommend you give it a visit. There was a beer festival at the time of my visit, with a Scotish & Yorkshire range of beers, ie: To name but a few, (Broughton, Peebles-shire) Clipper IPA 4.2(Cairngorm, Aviemore) Trade Winds 4.3. (Scottish Borders: Lanton Mill, Jedburgh) Dark Horse 5.0, Game Bird 4.0.(Stewart: Loanhead, Midlothian) Edinburgh No3 4.3,Edinburgh No7 4.5.(Banktop, Bolton)Black Beard 4.5. (Coniston, Cumbria)Bluebird Bitter 3.6.(Elland,West Yorks) Maximum Darkness 4.3.(Offbeat,Crewe, Cheshire)Odd Ball Red 4.2.: Also there where 7 unusual ciders and a couple of perry's, To go with all this some excellent pub grub.
