The Clifton Inn in Rugby

Ah, The Clifton Inn – it's one of those pubs that just wraps you in a warm hug the moment you walk through the door. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff and locals are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making newcomers feel like old mates. The beer selection is spot on, with mentions of a cracking Guinness that hits the spot every time, and it's brilliant that they welcome dogs, so you can pop in with your four-legged companion without a worry. The cosy atmosphere, complete with open fires, really adds to the charm, especially on a chilly evening, and it's clear folks love it for watching the footy or joining in on karaoke nights for a good laugh. On the flip side, while it's generally lovely, a few have noted it has room to improve and isn't quite extraordinary just yet, and those slightly varying opening times might catch you out if you're not prepared. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a bite, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – just go with an open mind and enjoy the simple pleasures it offers.
