The Nags Head, Lyme Regis

As described by Soupy,below, this pleasant locals' pub is far enough away from the sea front to be devoid of grockles. The pub was comfortable, the staff were helpful, the regulars were chatty and welcoming. Ales on were Otter Ale and Bitter, plus there were two dry pumps. On keg were Guinness, Aspall's Cider, Madri,Carlsberg, Carling and Thatcher's Gold and Haze. A decent local that I'd be happy to revisit.

Locals' pub at the top end of town. There are 4 handpulls on the bar stocking Otter Ale & Bitter & Sharp's Atlantic. No guest beers were present on the fourth handpull on this occasion. Cider options on keg were limited to Thatcher's Gold & Haze. Whilst this was a fairly average beer selection, there is good evidence that this pub is valued by the local community. One wall is full of pictures, with shelves above them containing plenty of sports trophies and shields, as well as a handpull. A blackboard to the right of the bar was promoting shots. Another was advertising "Fiver Friday" with quesadillas, nachos and hot dogs on sale for £5 between 5-7pm. Live music was also advertised and dogs are allowed in. There were at least 4 TVs, which presumably cater for sports lovers. All were off on my early Tuesday evening visit. Pop music was playing instead. The wifi password can be found on the bar.

The Nags Head is about 10 minuites walk uphill from the sea front but i thought it was worth it. The pub looked really nice from the outside with lots of hanging baskets,once inside there was a drinking area and also a dining area this was very quiet on my visit. There were three real ales on the bar i had a drink of Quay Sark Lark which was a very nice drink the other beers were Ridleys IPA and Greene King Abbot. I thought this was a decent enough pub to have a few drinks in. Pub visited 23 August 2000.

The pub is great fun, the prices are extremely reasonable and has house doubles which is rare in this town. good outside area and pool table.

Spent one evening here.Nice little place.Doubt if I would use it again though.
