The Bounty Inn was probably the pick of the 9 pubs and clubs we visited in Basingstoke on Sunday. It sits in a residential area just outside the town centre.
The interior consists of 3 small rooms surrounding a central bar. Two of them have access to the bar. There is also a nice, enclosed outdoor drinking area, some of which is undercover. The gents is also outdoors.
3 cask ales were being served, by a friendly barmaid - Hogsback TEA, Triple fff Alton's Pride & Andwell Sunny Republic Red. Bus. I had the latter, which was my favourite beer of the day. Craft beers were Beavertown Neck Oil & Camden Stout.
Food is supposedly served and we saw a promotion for a triple stack burger priced at £15.99. However, we didn't see anybody eating on our early Sunday evening visit.
The pub has no TV that I could see. So, it was nice to escape those watching the football. Instead, chill-out music was playing. Live music and quizzes were promoted and the presence of dog treats on the bar suggests that dogs are welcome.

A revisit earlier this month found a wholly different pub than that of four years previously. It has had an overhaul both inside and out with new signage and paintwork. Apparently new management are trying to make it a more welcoming locals pub and they look to be getting there as the two ladies behind the bar were friendly and the clientele clearly local. Three ales - Titanic 1912, Altons Pride and Doom Bar – the first two of which came out well. Also available was an interesting cider in the form of New Forest Kingston Black. There were also home-made filled rolls from behind the bar which was a nice touch, I would have had one if I hadn’t already eaten at the ground. Background music was piped from the local radio station. Some maintenance work needs to be done (the rain had formed a few damp patches in the wall/ceiling join above our seats) but this place is heading in the right direction and I’m definitely making the 10 minute detour out of the town centre to sample it again.

Stumbled in after a curry up the road and encountered what seemed to be a decent stab at a disco (unless the place was holding a private function, the average age of the punters was about 22). Anyways, three Greene King ales and my Speckled Hen was fairly good. The atmosphere was noisy but not rowdy. The two-room interior was relatively unremarkable though the gents lavs are outside (not obvious!). If this is the regular Saturday evening entertainment, it might well be worth a visit if you're under 35. Certainly better than most of Basingrad town centre anyway. (5)
