About This Pub

Oh, Early Doors in Sale is one of those places that just warms your cockles from the moment you step in – it's got this really welcoming feel, with staff who are dead chatty and make you feel like you're among friends. From what I've seen, the drinks are top drawer; think a smashing range of local beers, exceptional wines, and spirits that keep things interesting without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is just right too – not blaring music or anything, so it's ideal for a proper natter over a few drinks, and it's clearly a hit for celebrations like birthdays, based on the glowing feedback. On the downside, it's only open evenings and not every day, which means it might not fit if you're looking for a quick lunch stop or a lazy Sunday session. Plus, without a website or phone, it's a tad tricky to sort out plans in advance, and being on the smaller side, it can get cosy to the point of being packed. All in all, if you're in the area and fancy a solid night out with good company and even better drinks, it's worth a go – just keep those opening times in mind!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and incredibly welcoming, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from local beers and exceptional wines to spirits, so there's something for everyone.
  • The atmosphere is spot on – relaxed and not at all loud, making it perfect for a proper catch-up with mates.
  • It's a brilliant spot for special occasions, like birthdays, with a cool vibe and well-presented space that adds to the fun.
Cons
  • It only opens in the evenings from around 4 PM and isn't open every day, which might not work if you're after a daytime pint or a weekend brunch.
  • There's no website or phone number available, so it's a bit of a faff to check what's on or get in touch beforehand.
  • Being a smaller bar, it might fill up quickly on busier nights, so you could end up waiting or missing out if you don't plan ahead.

Gorgeous little bar. Husband enjoyed the range of draught beer and my wine was exceptional. Bar staff/owners were incredibly welcoming and happy to chat. Will definitely come back and bring our friends...we want to try out the mezzanine area
