Cosy Club, Salisbury

A vast upmarket hipster place in, perhaps appropriately, the old Art College. Actually when I say hipster, it’s ‘mum safe’ hipster. A three time shade green interior with various bits of deliberately distressed (ie knackered) furniture, job lot antique shop stuff and assorted Salisbury hoorays munching their chow. We did, however, admire the Art Nouveau bar. A second, less annoying, room is upstairs, en route to the Country Life ‘girls in pearls’ in the gents. There’s a nice garden out the back and in retrospect we should have decamped there for a bit. Unusually, it’s a dog friendly establishment. Two pumps at the bar with just one on, a flat and tired Upham Tipster – a fairly flaccid brew at the best of times. Once was enough for me.
