The Merchants Inn, Rugby

A real ale haven, plus a good choice of ciders and continental bottled beers. We called in early doors mid week, so we had a good chance to look round and chat away to the friendly and helpful owner and bar staff. Even the chef was helpful pointing us in the right direction to good refreshment houses. We also noticed the hundreds of pumpclips adorning the ceilings. There were nine ales to choose from on our visit. I went for the Box Steam Whistler Blower and Forge Brewery Hawkers. This pub is a must when in Rugby.
