170.0. "pubs ?" by SHIRE::GOLDBLATT () Wed Jun 21 1989 14:07

    Could someone indicate the pub(s) in Basingstoke, within walking
    distance of the railroad station, that have "real ale" eg. Winter
    Royal.

170.1Not near Station, but...CHEST::BARKERMy Yacht runs on Lead-Free windWed Jun 21 1989 15:3710
    The best selection of real ale that I have found in B'stoke is The
    Mill ( Right next to the Ruins of Old Basing House ), but that isn't
    really within walking distance.
    
    Re "Winter Royal", this is only available in the winter.
    
    Sorry not to be of more help,

170.2Hop Leaf - 10 mins from stationSHAPES::STREETRuncontaminated by cheeseWed Jun 21 1989 17:518
    Some people say that Bass is a pretty good pint... (well _I_ do
    ;-) )... and you can get a reasonable pint in The Hop Leaf. 
    This pub is in the old part of town just south of the Malls
    near the Old Market Square. Reasonable lunches too.
    
    I have not tried any other pubs in Basingstoke town centre.
