The Duke Inn, Bedford

A Charles Wells house next door to a Shell garage, this has a rough L-shape interior and was thronged with people watching a Champions' League match on the various large screens dotted around. There's a semi-Games area as you enter with pool table, dartboard and jukebox and the ale options were Eagle IPA x 2 for £3.50 a pint, which was a nice enough pint. Plenty of young lads watching the football but not overbearing in their demeanour. I left at around 8:15 in the evening, so God knows what they were like at last orders...

The Duke is a decent looking pub that is next to a road junction. Once inside there was one largish L shaped room that was quite comfy,the pub is a Charles Wells tied house and there were two real ales on here i had a drink of Wells Eagle bitter and this was a nice drink the other beer was Bombadier. I was happy enough having a drink in here. Pub visited 20/1/2001
