The Town & County Club in Rugby

Ah, The Town & County Club – it's one of those hidden gems in Rugby that I've heard great things about from mates who've popped in. From what folks are saying, it's got this really inviting atmosphere where you can kick back and enjoy a pint without any fuss. The real ales are a standout; they're well-kept and come at prices that won't break the bank, with rotating guest options that keep things interesting. It's not just about the drinks, though – there's live music on the last Sunday afternoon of the month, and you can join in with dominoes or skittles if you're in the mood for a bit of fun. The staff are proper welcoming, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home, even if it's technically a members' club. On the flip side, the opening times seem a bit all over the place, mostly centred around Sundays, so it might not be ideal if you're after a spontaneous mid-week catch-up. Plus, with not much buzz lately, it could feel quieter than expected, and some have mentioned it's a small spot that might not have the same polish as flashier venues. All in all, if you're after a genuine, affordable night out with good company and cracking beers, it's worth a try – just go in with realistic expectations and you might end up making it your local!
