About This Pub
Ah, the Three Brass Monkeys – it's one of those places that really grows on you if you're after a straightforward, no-fuss pint without spending a fortune. I have to say, the drinks are dead reasonable, and they've got a solid selection from cask ales to cocktails, which is perfect for kicking back with friends. The pub's been nicely refurbished with a clean, open layout, and if you're into live sport, the multiple screens make it a winner for watching the match. But, let's be honest, it's not all sunshine and roses – some evenings can turn a bit chaotic with a rough crowd that might include a few dodgy sorts, and the staff don't always come across as the warmest bunch. Then there's the karaoke, which sounds like a proper miss from what I've heard, and the music pumping out can make it impossible to have a decent conversation. All in all, it's worth popping in for a casual drink if you're local and up for the vibe, but maybe steer clear if you're after something more relaxed or polished.

-
The atmosphere can get quite rough at times, with reports of unsavoury characters and a less-than-ideal crowd hanging about.

There seem to be some inconsistent rules, like with allowing dogs in, which has left a few folks feeling frustrated.

Drinks very reasonably priced. Good clean pub well furnished, but the karaoke is utter garbage. Worst I've heard.
Staff seem like they're all inbred and on a power trip. More alcos than most places I've seen and constant smackheads selling knock off gear . If you just want a quiet pints avoid at all costs.
Double standards, only working dogs are allowed in the pub even though a woman had a 4 month year old puppy on a cushion beside her obviously providing needed support to their owner while an army dog while initially allowed in was told to be removed due to a lack of a harness. This dog would have been let on any Amy base building in the army with a sideways glance but the monkeys here don't think that's important. Well brassed off.
Called in on good Friday with Jill to meet friends for a few before indians... service was spot, got a pint of fosters and it wasn't bad at all and the price was great... their a fair bit of noisy riff-raff in but guessing that's due to the price of the drinks.. would definitely go in again...
I'm sure this is a great bar for many, it was certainly busy. Just not my thing in any way, shape or form.
Very cheap pint, but the only beer they had was ice cold John Smith Extra Smooth.
Music was absolutely blaring to the point we unfortunately could not have a conversation so immediately drank up and left.
