Rugby Meet Up Friday the 13th June 2014

[Mobyduck]

It sounds like Bristol at the moment for anniversary reasons but I am also happy with Rugby or St Albans.

[Dave M]

Well if it's 10 years of PuG, then Bristol (its home) seems like the anniversary we need.

It just seems like an arbitrary kind of anniversary to choose though. I'd go with choosing Bristol next year to mark the 5th anniversary of doing these kind of meet ups - that way it is more relevant to everyone.

Plus my summer is looking quite busy and it would be embarrassing if I can't make it to a Bristol meet!

[Real Ale Ray]

I found seven good pubs to visit in Rugby, I suppose if you add a Spoons and Lloyds, brings it to nine.

Looks a bit thin to me...

[Thuck Phat]

Rugby boozers worth visiting are:
The Merchants
The Seven Stars
The Victoria
The Raglan
The Alex
The Squirrel
The Lawrence Sheriff (Lloyd's)
The Dirty Duck
The London House
The Half Moon

Others which serve real ale include:
The Bull
The William Webb Ellis
London Calling (yes that is its real name)
The Rupert Brooke ( spoons)
The Rugby Hotel

All are in or close to the town centre and I haven't listed a few as I haven't been in them recently.
Thin it ain't.

Agree that's not my definition of thin, either.

The Black Swan had only two ales on when Real Ale Ray was there recently (and a previous review suggested beer quality was an issue). The Half Moon doesn't have a review on this site - have you been there recently enough to provide one? Impressed that the Lloyds bar has 10 hand pumps.

[Real Ale Ray]

I wouldn't put the London House down as a possible visit, as it is the roughest pub in Rugby and were advised to stay clear. We did get the Half Moon at midday, and were told by the manager that they weren't open until 2pm during the week. I asked what ales were on and the reply was one ale which was Black Sheep.

I don't mind where we go for the meet up. Rugby does have some gems and if there is less pubs to get round, we can spend more time in them.

and were told by the manager that they weren't open until 2pm during the week. :

There are a few that don't open til later on weekdays (Vic 4pm, Raglan 2pm?) so if y'all end up here that's worth checking in advance...
I recall deciding to scratch the Alex from future tours last time I visited.
