The Squirrel, Rugby

Tiny pub, low ceilings, not much room but a lot crammed in. A cracking Sunday night atmosphere - with a three piece synth band belting out 80s hits. You had to be there. Beer in good condition - a seasonal Red Nosed Reinbeer from Cotleigh.

A pleasant enough little pub. Its a small, thin single room with an area set up for live music on this visit. 6 handpumps on the bar with 2 beers from Cottage, an Otley beer and 2 ciders on.

I realy liked the look of the Squirrel from the outside. Once inside i was'nt dissapointed,there is a long narrow oblong shaped room with the bar facing,the ceiling is quite low,there was a very narrow bench seat facing the bar,this is where i sat,thee are a few normal tables and chairs to the left plus a leather settee to the far left,the right side had a few normal tables and chairs and a tiled floor,there was a TV on showing horse racing. There were four real ales on the bar plus two real ciders,i had a drink of Dowbridge Acris which went down very well,the other beers were Ringwood Forty Niner / Old Thumper and Pedigree. I had only been in the pub a short time when the very friendly landlady started talking to me,she had a great knowledge of Rugbys pubs and directed me to some of the better real ale pubs in Rugby. I quite liked this pub,one i could stay in for a good session. Pub visited 12/7/2014

An excellent old pub with low ceilings and old beams. Loads of bric-a-brac around the walls and a good selection of table games in one corner. A friendly, amusing if rather cynical landlady adds to the character of the place. 4 handpumps for ale and 2 for cider. Marston's Pedigree is the house ale with the other 3 being available for guests, two of which were also from Marston's during my visit. The third had a beer from Dowbridge on it which was in excellent condition. This pub is quite rightly listed in the CAMRA GBG2014.
