★★★★★8 months agoTown was so busy, tried some other places and it was impossible to get in. We decided walk 10 minutes away from the centre crowds and The Vintage hit all the spots! Great selection of drinks, very knowledgeable bartender who made us very welcome. Everyone in the pub was local except us which is a bonus. What's not to like? Big thumbs up 👍
Helen and David Brown
★★★★★Edited 2 years agoFriendly owner and staff. Good choice of beers and prices. Great eclectic decorations. Nice place to spend an hour people watching while drinking lovely beer, or simply talk to the budgies at the back of the pub.
