Pint of Lager - £3.65Had previously visited the Conan Doyle once before, way back in 2010 and thought a return was long overdue. Can honestly say apart from a lick of paint (black looks better than green) and the removal of the games machine, not a lot has changed. Not that this is any bad thing.
The inside is split over two levels with the lower mainly for those wishing to indulge in traditional pub grub. Sharing a name with the famous Sherlock Holmes author, its no mystery to see why this is a popular place for tourists, many of whom were American and watching the golf on this particular evening. The interior is historical and well decorated, with portraits of ACD himself alongside many other photo frames and a large built in bookcase. Although the service was a bit slow, it was worth the wait and I enjoyed a fine lager, the first on my return from sunny Portugal.
Entertainment wise however, there doesn't seem to be too much going on here, no pub quizzes or karaokes mentioned and indeed the removal of the games machine means its pretty much a case of chat and/or eat.
A good place to go for a pint or two at the start of a night but I don't reckon its somewhere you'd stay for too long.
7.5/10
