The place to go for a lazy afternoon, pub quiz or last call

You can tell us more about Ashby de la Zouch.

• The Bull's Head is the most family-unfriendly pub in the universe. Young persons banished like lepers.
• The queens head hotel is so unusual, you have the 25,s to 40,s in the front bar, which has a great atmosphere. Then you have the loft bar, which although not old, def caters to the over 21,s with Great Great prices.. Virtually all doubles & mixers are £2.50.. & served with loads of ice.. Good looking bar staff make this a must. The Lounge bar is Ashbys newest asset, and is def an asset, really cool & trendy, Unusual cocktails all at £2.95 cant get cheaper then that! Great music, Prob the most exclusive crowd in Ashby. Best early doors, closes at 12, so be early to catch the talent.
• Bowling green will serve anyone on a week nite, White hart is also quite relaxed, Dont go in the bulls head if u r underage
• the bulls head is the place to be
• Fayre and Firkin is now the Bull's Head and has replaced The Lamb for pulling all the young 'uns!!
• All the town centre pubs are grim at the weekend. All the plebs from out of town bus themselves in to fight, puke, and try and pull. Good spectator sport!
• THE NIGHT LIFE IN ASHBY IS GOOD ON A FRIDAY NIGHT BUT NOT MUCH IN THE WEEK THE LAMB HAS BEEN REFEBISHED AND NOW CATERS FOR OLDER PEOPLE NOT MUCH HAPPEMS THERE NOW BUT ATLEAST YOU DONT GET THRETEND BY MONKYS WITH WHIGHT SHIRTS AND A BOTTLE OF BUD THE WHIGHT HART IS A GOOD PLACE JIM THE LAND LORED IS A SOUND BLOCK THERE IS IS ALWAS LIVE BANDS ON SUNDAYS BUT THE BEER IS TOO EXSPENSIV THE BULL IN NOT THAT GOODAND THE BEER IS CRAP BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME GOOD LOOKING BAR MAIDS NOT A UGGLY ONE IN SITE BOWLING GREEN GOODN IF YOUR 60 AND THINK YOUR 21 BAR STAFF ARE FRENDLY ZUES NOT MUCH TO SAY BUT PEOPLE USE IT AS A ONE DRINK PUB AND ALSO THIS IS WERE ALL THE MONKYS WITH THE WIGHT SHIRTS WENT WHEN THW LAMB CHANGED SHOLDER OF MUTTON DO NOT GO IN I REPAT DO NOT GO IN!ITS NOT A PUB ITS A PRISON
• Gotta be the White Hart, where Jim the landlord and his staff pull perfect pints.very friendly with Quiz nights and a mixture of music is on offer. T.V. when the footy is on. the place has all u need. Ashby has more pubs than any of its size in the midlands, i think Shepshed is nearly on par.
• i am regular of the centuary at the Bull's head. Its got comfy sofa's and the atmosphere's quite good. loads of special offers for drinks!
• Thank God the Bull is the Bull again and not the farye and firkin, pity that it's done out like a city pub and its full of kids, oh, and the beers crap ! And as for the Plough, does he think he's in London with those prices ?
• Bulls Head. Arty's. Zeus bar. NOT THE LAMB - oh, unless of course your common then you're welcomed with a smiling face
• The blue bar is the only decent place to go
• The Plough on the Green is possibly the hippest spot in town. No fresh people here. BUt a top spot for some beard spotting
• Zeus Bar is alright. The White Hart is full of rugger buggers; you'll generally feel unwelcome. The Plough - no! The Shoulder of Mutton - no, NO! (and it stinks). The Queens Head is a strange, strange place. The Lamb is always good for a fight. The Bull's Head (previously the Fayre & Firkin) is just plain shite. The Bowling Green - it's got the fattest woman behind the bar that I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not joking either!
• ZEUS BAR - under new(ish) management. Excellent cocktails & food, etc. Family run with mega atmophere (unlike the managed Plastic Pubs on Market Street!)
• The Lamb, Zeus
• The White Hart. Excellent pub with cracking atmosphere. Jim the landlord is a top bloke, and the place has many loyal regulars. Was once a place frequented by rogues travelling through the market town, and still has features like a bear pit with stuffed bear. The bear can be seen through reinforced glass in the floor, and is usually posing with a bottle of ale in one hand. Also has a 20ft deep well also covered with glass.
• The Queen's Head is currently the closest we have to a living graveyard. Within nanoseconds of "closing time", lights are being turned off, seats being upturned on the tables and you are generally being made unwelcome.
• The Fayre & Firkin is a disgrace. Previosly the Bull a really cool Pub and one of the oldest pubs in the town.Dating back to 1200's There is rummoured to have been a tunnel between it and Ashby Castle, dug during Cronwells seigein the Civil War.
• Talk about musical chairs! Everybody's moving in, or out! No Keith at The Lamb, no Des & Alex at The Queens, and even the asshole from The Plough is on the way out! How about updating the pubs section?
• For the serious beer drinkers and mature sorts, try The Plough on the Green. The Bowling Green on Brook Street or the Shoulder of Mutton on Market Street.
• For the more loud music, bottle drinking, trendy try: Zeus, The Lamb, The White Hart and the Queens (loft bar) all on Market Street.
• A good country pub, two miles from the town centre is The Smisby Arms in the village of Smisby, just over the border into Derbyshire.
