I do like the Lansdowne a lot - my group of friends use it regularly as a meeting point, particularly before football matches. The beer range is excellent and the food is good too. The staff are very nice and friendly too. Dog friendly too. The decor is nice as well and show sports.
Only minor complaints hence 4 stars - tiny toilets, outside area is also small and not very good. It does get very busy at times - as it's popular. Can be hard to get served as a result as the bar itself is quite small and people tend to sit at it (pet hate). Removing the stools would help with this.

Focus on real ale (from the number of pump clips, a lot of real ale has passed through the pumps). Turned up for the annual beer festival early Friday afternoon (16/6/17) but festival doesn't start until 17.00, however, 5 ales on the bar all excellent. Didn't eat but food looked & smelt wonderful? (Will try on next visit). 15/8/17. 3 pm. Well here again as promised, very quiet, one man and his dog . . . . Ok, no dog, but amazing, complete change of ales since last visit - all good. Only downside -...
