Latest reviews from Luton

“Lovely classic English pub, right next to the station, so a great place to end a crawl rather than start it if you're leaving by train. Would have been even better if the huge fireplace in the main room hadn't been bricked up. Great staff, super friendly; one was a lovely little old lady who clearly had been there for decades, and the other was so tall that in order to order I had to sit on Anna's shoulders and I still got a crick in my neck. 6 real ales, constantly changing but mostly bitter by the look of it, plus some high-quality other stuff. We got 3 ticks here, all real ales; nowhere else managed that. Absolute top place in town.“

“No idea why JDs should have dropped in the breadth of their English Real Ale selections, and carry more Eurotrash since brexit, but that's a pattern I'm detecting, and this is a prime example. Thanks Tim, you complete twat! Sorry, thanks Sir Tim, you complete twat. Despite not having been to the UK for 5 years, and it being the time every brewery's doing a winter/xmas/santa/commercialism special, all I found here was one tick. And that wasn't even on form. And there was nothing apart from core JD range from kegs and bottles. Atmosphere-wise, it's one of the more depressing spoons. Very popular, sure, but they aren't here for the beer, they're here because they've got no job and the giro's enough to pay for pie and mash and a couple of pints. It is an interesting interior, architecturally, I was wondering if it was once a theatre lobby or something, but no, apparently it was a Co-op. Whatever. Staff were decently efficient, no complaints there. One customer who *repeatedly* failed to respond to any of the "who's next, please?"s from every member of staff was getting in a right huff. But it was lunch time, he was probably pissed. Kinda depressing. There's way better places in town, but if you're crawling, you may as well hit it. If you're coming from the station, it's on the way to the Black Horse, which is way better.“

“A classic British pub, medium sized with different rooms, a little library and the serving bar in the first room. The pub gave a slightly worn down, but charming impression. Five hand-pumps and quite a few beers on the taps. A Luton football pub, only for home supporters on match days. All of them had left to watch Luton against Burley when Finn and I visited the pub. Friendly service cleaning up after the supporters had left the site. Close to the railway station and the city center. (Visited with Finn, 18.02.2023).“

“Modern looking 'spoons about 5 mins walk from station offering everything you'd expect.“

“This pub is close to the railway station, so we popped in for a quick round on our way back from the Luton Beer Festival. I liked the place, and they did have a couple of new cask ales for us, so no complaints here.“

“We went here for a quick round on our way to the Luton Beer Festival. It’s pretty close to the train station so not a big detour. It’s a fairly big JDW with lots of seating available. We had two new local cask ales, which is always nice. Beers in good condition.“

“In the ground floor of the entertainment complex on the opposite side of the main St George’s Square to the shopping centre, it’s handily open late if you require a wait between trains as I did after 11pm on a Sunday evening. It was pretty empty at this time, just a few people frequenting a fairly large Wetherspoon pub that is like an elongated horseshoe in shape, with two bars at either end, although the one to the right has more options, including a selection of local bottled ales to compliment its changing selection on most of its hand pumps. The selections for these do differ on each bar. All open plan, it’s a fairly standard design but convivial enough for this chain and a high ceiling, with a small upper veranda section built into one area.“

“This would score a lot higher if the beer range was a bit more exciting. Although if you’re in Luton then beggars can’t be choosers. What beer they do have is well kept and the bar is a classic.“

“Visited prior to Nuneaton’s deserved 0-3 reversal@Kenilworth Rd, 25/01/14, away colours showing. Well, a few square millimeters of white piping anyway. Atmospheric, heaving 2 roomed boozer a 60sec stagger from the station festooned in LTFC regalia and awash with convivial hatters. Footie on in the front room. No evidence of Bateman’s tie on my visit: 6 rapidly changing casks from Milton, Oakham, Burton Bridge, Wentwoth and Cottage, favouring sessionable brews of the sub-4% variety (bonus point). Girls behind the bar attentive and keen to top your pint up to brimming. Essential pre-match refreshment station en route to Kenilworth Rd (10 mins- follow the locals), and probably the highlight of any trip to the (generally) irredeemable shithole that is Luton.“

“Have paid a number of visits to the Brickies prior to both Luton Town (away) games and Rifles (as big as the Beatles in Luton!) gigs. Twin roomed back street local popular with LTFC fans on a matchday (home fans only policy but if you’re not showing colours or the behaviour of a cretin you’ll get in ok!). Place gets busy on a matchday but service holds up well, on the non match days I’ve visited it’s been steady to moderate in terms of patronage. 5 or 6 casks always in good condition. Well worth a visit if you are in Luton, 5 or 6 minutes from the station, 10 to 15 from Kenilworth Road.“

“Decent local pub, fairly central but not exactly a ton centre feel to it. Pretty good rotation of guest ales.“
