Blue Scrumpy left this review about British Hotel
The British Hotel is quite an attractive building on the quayside in Douglas. However, inside it lacks atmosphere. Perhaps this was due to a general lack of customers on a Saturday afternoon. The only other customers we saw were a young couple with their baby. The last time I was here it was the final pub of 16 and I visited on a Saturday night. I have to say I don't recall it! Although it was almost 10 years ago.
There are 8 handpulls on the long bar and the pub features in the 2025 Good Beer Guide. However, just 2 cask ales from Okell's were on - Bitter & MPA. I opted for a can of their new craft beer range, which wasn't up to much.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about British Hotel
Heron & Brearley pub with a Tudor-style facade that somehow seems reminiscent of a British Legion club, but having a thoroughly-refurbished interior in a rather sterile semi-modern style. Embassy function room upstairs (not visited). Okell's MPA (£2.93), Bitter and Steam available from two banks of four handpumps. Gin also a speciality.

This was once the best pub in the I O M years ago went in through the front door there was a couple of steps to the left in the middle and it was all done in royal blue had to be dressed up to go in there then the lounge bar and at the other side of the bar was the vault. They spoilt this pub in the late 80s when knocking it all through and tried to turn it into a theym pub like on the main land
