The Pavilion, Ryde

Modern bar in a seafront leisure complex housed in a splendid listed building. The arched iron roof of the bar is impressive but there it ends. A white pool table takes pride of place in a totally forgettable interior, decorated by a liberal sprinkling of sports TVs. The back of the bar serves the adjoining ten pin bowling alley, while there is a small amusement arcade adjacent. There is a large patio outside. The bar is entirely keg, with nothing more exotic than Red Stripe. Time to move on.
