Further to my review on Teuchters, if you do want a quieter pub to watch the rugby, yet with still a bit of atmosphere, try the Guildford. Even on the final day of the 6 Nations tournament it was easy to get a seat right in front on the TV in this pub, and I enjoyed watching one of the games here. If you like listening to the commentary though you might want to choose somewhere else, as it was quite low and with people talking it was difficult to hear it. However on a day where the final weekend of the 6 Nations also fell on St Patrick’s Day and most pubs were therefore packed, the Guildford was a great option.
Outside of rugby this is a nice traditional old man kind of pub with some good real ales and good pint of Best. Be warned though the prices are not cheap. To give you an idea of how expensive this bar is - a pint of Coke costs £3!
There is also a nice restaurant up the stairs which is a good venue for an office lunch if you work nearby. From the restaurant you can admire the fine architecture of this bar, including an impressive ceiling (if you are impressed by this kind of thing).
