Only discovered the Terminus about 6 weeks ago despite working less than a mile away and have…read morealready been back three times. Typical but good pub food with a great breadth of options. Really like the American style starters, particularly the mozzarella fried cheese sticks, which are plentiful (though I would prefer a pasta sauce to the sweet chili sauce it comes with). Also like the grill options, both the lamb chops and the gammon steak (which they serve with both pineapple and a fried egg, so you don't have to choose). The chips that come with it are nice and crispy, to my liking. You may also want to try the Santa Sandwich if it is still on the menu (served only around Christmas), which is effectively Christmas dinner in a baguette. Turkey, stuffing, bacon wrapped sausage in a baguette with gravy, cranberry sauce and nice crispy roast potatoes on the side. Very carb-heavy but an interesting option you need to try once. Overall, been happy with everything I have had. Make sure

Came here for lunch. Its an ok typical pub in the isle of man. Located at the far end of the…read morepromenade so be ready to walk, take the horse tram or drive. Good selection of beers. Food was pretty average. The large fish was absolutely massive and pretty tasty. Shame that the mushy peas were bland (salt please?) and they only give you that metallic tasting tartar sauce out of packets. Why can't they make a quick and easy homemade tartar sauce? Tried my friends curry and again was completely under seasoned and basically tasted of nothing more than bland tomatoes. My friends other friends had steak pie. Which they seemed to enjoy but it looked average to me. Its a nice spot to visit for beers. The service is good and its a great spot for a nice walk afterwards. The food is ok and is simply average pub grub. (albeit under seasoned.)

We popped into the Thirsty Pigeon while over in the IOM to visit family for Christmas and I was on…read morea night out with some mates - I'd heard good things from everyone and having found a lot of town centre pubs were shutting on the Tues at 11pm (WTF...) we found this place open until 2am - bonus! A good selection of beers were on tap from home and away, plus they serve the excellent Manx Cider Co cider on tap - well worth having if you're popping by and are a real cider fan. The clientele was a mixed bunch (aren't they always when everywhere else is shutting) - we're all beer hounds in this together! A good place to hit on a night out if maybe not the cosiest pub type of place. The excellent Bath and Bottle down the road is also open late if you're looking for a couple of bars to hit once the traditional boozers are closing up for the evening.

Sam Webb's is an Isle of Man institution, in fact I'm surprised it's never been reviewed before as…read moreit's as old as time itself - if it ever vanished off the pub map in the IOM then there would be something wrong with the world! It's not the brightest, most flash pub but it now is one of the last pubs you hit before making a trip down the promenade so basically it's a last chance saloon before heading down the prom. A few good beers but nothing special, the sort of place you could drop into for a pint with friends and move on.

New management team = new ideas!? As of this month, Jan…read more2026, the new pub hours are CLOSED all Sunday, and CLOSED at 7pm on a weeknight - but still open until Midnight on Friday & Saturday. This place WAS once a normal "local" pub - no idea what direction it's heading in - but it's not gonna sell much beer if it's closed...!! Maybe the brewery are after selling it off as a non-runner?? The new manager seems to have had a personality bypass and is definitely NOT very suited to running a real pub; based on the recent changes!

I was taken here by a friend and was very pleasantly surprised. Its a beautiful looking pub. Very…read morenice staff and loads of tv's for watching sport without being overly intrusive so you can still talk to friends. They also have a cool shuffleboard table which looks good fun. There are some really great beers here. I had a pint of Cascade which was a vey light ale and my friend had a pint of Coco which was a more bitter pint. Both were great and very reasonably at a total of £6.70. They don't do food yet but this will be happening fairly soon as they have a brand new kitchen just built. This is a pub to experience and I look forward to coming back and trying the food. If they do the food to the same high standard they will do well indeed!

The British is a Douglas drinking institution, somewhere that always seems to have just had a…read moremakeover or done up, basically it's the Madonna of the local pub scene - keeping it's core but trying to reinvent itself slightly while keeping its original fans happy. A fairly large quayside boozer, I don't think you could ever call it cosy but it's nice to see that it's kept its original features well and there seems to be different parts of the bar for different times of the day. Their beer was heavily focussed on usual rubbish lagers, a great selection of local beers from Okells and some exciting craft beers from the UK and further afield. Not a bad place to pop into for a few pints - give it a shot as the quay area is a lovely place to be, especially in summer.

Came back again for lunch with friends. Staff behind the bar…read moreare very nice and accommodating. I had the Pan Fried Sea Bass and asked for vegetables instead of potatoes and without butter etc which they were happy to do. It was very tasty. Everyone else had the much less healthy fish and chips! (I must admit I stole a bit from my wife though!). All I will say is wow and yum! Lovely crisp batter, beautiful flaky haddock and the tartar sauce it came with was excellent. Definitly worth getting! All in all a great pub meal and worth coming here for!

The Manxie is a good little pub situated in the village of Onchan, about 30 mins walk from Douglas…read moreProm. It's definitely got a lot more character than the only other pub around here (the identikit Archie Knox) and is a place where the audience is pretty diverse - pretty much all coming along for a classic pub chilling out session. The layout is very much of the classic two pub rooms setup, with a large bar in each, a pool table in one and plenty of seating in both. There's a "beer garden" out the back although if the truth be known I think the only greenery on offer are the weeds which grow out of the cracks in the carpark pavement. To be honest "beer carpark" is probably more appropriate! There's a great selection of local beer Okells on pump and bottle and special note has to go to their green labeled IPA and blue labeled wheat beer 'Maclir' - both £3.60 a large bottle and super tasty! The Manxie does what it does well, I imagine it will still be the same sort of place in 100 years time!

Ok, so we may have gone at the wrong time of day to see the beautiful scenery. Let's just say it…read morewas super dark and we couldn't tell where we were driving and sort of thought we were driving towards a cliff that we would soon plummet off in the dark. Not kidding. BUT behold the end of the road the glowing lights of Wasdale Head! It was very busy in the restaurant so we first sat at the bar (the only 2 stools) and chatted with the staff. Everyone was sooo nice to us and I loved it. After a few pints we decided to get some food. You order at the counter and they bring your meals to the table. We picked the seat by the fire and I enjoyed the chickpea chili and of course the onion rings and loved the spice and warmth during the cold night. I would LOVE to return during the day because I heard the view was amazing so I will just have to make a trip back.

I went to Ritson's Bar for dinner after an epic over 6 hour hike up & down the terrifying and…read morebeautiful windy heights between Wastwater and Ennerdale. I loved the unusual design of big wooden booths, it helps stop a lot of disorganised chair moving too. We were obviously starving and watched in quiet agony as half the table's food arrived and was consumed before ours did. This was Bank Holiday Sunday though, so it was mega busy. When the food did come it was enormous and I couldn't finish it. I have never seen so much scampi and giant pieces too! Excellent. Fish and chips was also very well received, I thought the fish seemed like good quality. Meanwhile there was an ale on tap which both bartender & bf said was really excellent. I enjoyed a very tasty Virgin Mary, it's not often you get someone spicing it perfectly. For somewhere that could be lazy as it's the only game in town, Ritson's is especially impressive in its commitment to decent food and ale. Well worth a visit after your walk. Also btw if you are contemplating climbing down the scree as a shortcut to above-mentioned pub bear in mind it will be one of the most gruelling and exhilarating hours of your life, and you stand a reasonable chance of serious injury.
