Review:
Nestled right up against the south side of the City Walls The Phoenix Inn is very much removed from the City centre but definitely worth the extra distance it takes to get there, as you are rewarded with a very pleasant traditional and well-kept pub. It feels a lot like an upmarket local and the décor is all gleaming brass and ambient candle light. They have a good selection of real ales which are regularly changed although the prices are average. As is traditional with this type of Victorian pub the front snug is warm and welcoming with the bar and an open fire, the back room has plenty of seating tucked away, including a bar billiards table, which they regularly use as part of the pub team. The yard to the back is peaceful and airy, looking directly onto the City Walls, a real treasure of an outside space in warmer times. You can clearly see why The Phoenix Inn keeps winning CAMRA awards, especially with its quiet isolate location, they really have put their heart and soul into a proper community pub that is still well presented and welcoming to all.
