The Lansdowne Inn in Torbay

A friendly pub. Service is great people are wonderful. If you visit Torquay check out this pub!

Was down on holiday for a few days popped in with the dogs people were coming up to say hi dogs got excited and barked a few times like 99.9% of dogs do. We walked in the next day and a member of staff called out them dog's aren't ganna be barking again in the pub are they. Found it very rude and very unprofessional.

Popped in earlier for an off the cuff pint, friendly service, good atmosphere and very reasonable prices 👍🏻

Sat watching the air show in the beer garden . Staff are lovely , especially Ollie who was so polite and helpful. Amazing place definitely coming back

Very rude bar staff member called Oliver shouted across the pub to me and my family when we walked in to get food. NO children allowed in the pub after 7 pm. It’s not like they were young teenagers or smaller they were late teenagers 17 and 18 years of age. He rudely asked for ID. they said we had no identification. He refused to serve us food, or even a Pepsi.

Bar staff were efficient. Landlord not the friendliest and bordering on rude. Didn't eat there so can't comment on the food.

Had a great time here. Looking forward to the next time ⭐✅

Absolutely shambles of a pub proper ignorant staff

Good atmosphere in this sports bar

Never had food there but very friendly and prices.

Drinking only pub. So great atmosphere

Didn't have any food but loved the place

Typical englisjh pub to drink and watch sport

We were staying locally and popped in most evenings during our Torquay week. It's a local and we found it friendly and safe such that my wife was happy to go ahead of me if I was delayed.

First visit and WOW a proper pub at last. Good service and a great pint ...will definately make this my local..moved nearby and looking fir a proper but and hey presto we found it...

Wonderful atmosphere, busy pub, good entertainment and welcoming staff

A very friendly place to have a drink. The owners are brilliant, friendly & always helpful. No other place i would go to. Drinks are priced just right, entertainment every weekends. Never been disappointed everytime I've been.

Like so many bars no positives apart from alcohol

A credit to the Craft Union chain. Very warm and friendly staff and customers and very clean.

Staff polite and helpful. Lovely atmosphere

Landlord very Abrupt with me when i was giving a bit of help taking my empty glass back i won't help again a great lesson Learnt

Enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon watching the rugby with the locals. A warm welcome and a good priced pint. Pity about the rugby result though. Will go back next time in Torquay.

Genuinely cheap beer, good atmosphere, warm, busy, lots of screens showing the football with darts and pool. Great pub.

Good cheap beer, lovely atmosphere lovely friendly people.

Myself and my granddaughter went to the Lansdowne in Torquay on Saturday night, there was live music on which was brilliant and we had a great time dancing all night. The bar staff were friendly thank you for a lovely evening , it was a busy public house the locals seemed to be accepting of newcomers. All in all a very good night

Good for a pint once released from the police station opposite, friendly atmosphere too

I don't normally like to bad review places, but this place left such a better taste in the mouth that i ended up walking out and going to a better pub and spending my money there. DO NOT GO TO THIS PUB! IT IS NOT WHAT IS USED TO BE! Used to be a major hang out for my friends and I back when south Devon collage was still located in Torquay, figured I'd visit for old times sake, wish I never did, the landlady has the place under a very tyrannical negative atmosphere. The landlady was getting Violent without justification, she seemed to single out a group with learning disabilities and escalated a situation by being rude, confrontation and aggressive. The landlady should sell up and leave or just quit. she has the type of Temperament you see Gordon Ramsay kitchen nightmares when he did Amy's backing company, only this got violent and it was lacking Gordon Ramsay and had even less logic and reason behind it, Sadly it's gone to the pits because the land lady has a very big, rude, grumpy Disability discriminatory chip on her shoulder.

Great bar. Great owners great prices.

Called in here on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of drinks, good atmosphere, plenty sport on the TV, very friendly staff and great value, would definitely call back in if in the area

Great local pub, called in for a beer. Friendly staff, clean and tidy.

Myself and my wife visited the bar during our stay at the Tor Park Hotel . We where welcomed by Scott And Emma on every visit we made . Ideally located from the hotel, excellent service by all staff and locals, who greeted you as a friend and not as a stranger, which was very welcoming and not something you get in a lot of other bars . They have a great selection of drinks, and very reasonably price’s. We certainly enjoyed ourselves on the 4 days we visited, and will definitely be back again as soon as we can. Thank you from Pete and Wendy.

Nice friendly local pub. Staff work hard and engage and make you feel welcome Value prices. Can get full on sporting events. Only one I will go to around Torre these days.

A cracking local pub, coupled with realistic prices.

Only been in once but the prices were good. The staff and other patrons all seemed very friendly too and I was made to feel welcome.

Great pub! Cracking landlord and bar staff. Loads of sport. my sort of place

Great local boozer ,prices brilliant, bar staff brilliant, definitely worth a visit

I wasn’t that impressed by this pub.

Very friendly staff and customers and good beers

Nice to see Lynn back behind the bar on a Wednesday. Footy lads

Great pub, great staff, great prices and great Gunness.

Very impressed was local to my hotel cheap drinks friendly quick bar staff good atmosphere

Could not have felt more welcome, FA cup final Saturday was friendly with loads of banter. Locals happy to chat with you and not stare as I found in other pubs. Scott (Landlord) friendly and very welcoming and has been in charge since December. Loads off choice on draught, and top shelf. I cannot say enough about the lansdown, was here for 3 nights and spent 2 evenings there and many others pubs a little closer. Thanks Scott and all bar staff, and locals for making myself and wife felt welcome.

Pool...nice atmosphere.great prices on drinks.beer garden.football on TV. What more do you want? Highly recommended 5 *****

Reported by our guide as the safest pub for strangers to drink in as it is opposite the police station, I had a good experience here and the prices were great compared to other outlets.

Another great we local pub. Very friendly great staff. Relaxed friendly locals. Sports ext. Go check it out 🍻👍🌈

Unfortunately there is no food available at this moment apart from bar snacks. 🍺🍻🍷🥂🍾🍺🍻🍷🥂🍾😁 8 tvs for sports and very competitive prices on drinks.

Good cheap beer ,plenty televised sports

This pub has been took over by new management , and the atmosphere is lovely! The interior is very welcoming, and It’s very spacious. They have 8 tvs, with all sports on. Also great juke box. The drinks selection is very good, and drinks / are very cheap,(compared to town prices!), also double up on all top shelf for a pound.. The staff are very welcoming to all locals and visitors.. and it’s 5 minutes from the town centre. Highly recommend.(

Brilliant atmosphere and come back life

The staff and people make the place. Couldn't say anything bad, laughed the whole day. Good crowd and staff. Multiple large tv's so horseracing and footie was on, pool table. I read another review that said no atmosphere well I would say the complete opposite, it's one of those places that if you didn't know anyone and went in alone you'd be made welcome as I was even though not my local.

Great place, we're not local but called in here about 3 times between Christmas and New year and found it really friendly, made to feel like one of the locals, was comfortable very reasonable in price and very spotless. Defo be adopting The Lansdowne has our local when we visit Torquay again in the summer, miss it already.

Price was good and they didn't damage the wheels this time , or lose the locking nuts

Lovely lady Claire ehind the bar

Made welcome loads of seating multiple large Tv s all sports on request pool table very clean friendly staff all Beers low prices not far from Fish & chip shop on route back to Hotels great place for a friendly drink will be back time I visit Torqay Belgrave road entertainment Night s first class

Only found this place on the last night of our stay. Was quite busy, cheaper drinks than the pub's nearby and in Torquay. Also had sports on the Tele.

Lovely pub, great when there's music or karaoke. Immaculately clean, friendly staff, really make you feel welcome

Staff are very good and helpful and is very reasonable prices

An excellent place to drink ,it became our local for the weekend, the steward was so friendly and welcoming .james , along with his bar staff , great atmosphere, would highly recommend if you were on holiday to pop in , value for money and very clean inside . ( Newport crowd )

Really lovely pub bit bad atmosphere, the landlady is a bit of a grump

Lovely local type pub great atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely Sunday quiet pint indoors football/pool/and soft music in background all you need

Clean and tidy, good beers. Great prices

Just your average pub but friendly staff

Nice clean pub, friendly bar staff and very reasonable prices

As far as the pub trade is going you'd think that owners of a pub would be welcoming. You can tell from the outside compared to other places that it might not look inviting but inside its ok . The only reason we went in there is because its near our guest house. Last night was OK had a couple of drinks , Left later on fine enjoyed it nothing against the two bar staff .they're fine ..Tonight the dragon woman gave us a blunt welcome because my mask was broken and I didn't have it on properly . And then she gets up and walks to the bar without a mask cos she's exempt 🤔🤔🤔 what cos your miserable and you only like the everyday alcoholic locals 👏👏👏

Really friendly pub good prices good beers great place to watch sport

Great beer and friendly service

I had been recommended this pub a few times by different people on my last couple of visits to Torquay. I eventually visited in June 2021. Glad I went in, as you have to try different places. But i felt that there was no atmosphere at all, the choice of Ales was Doom Bar, and that was it....the lagers were not inspiring either. Hoped to stay for pints but quickly drank up and moved on. Will not return. Not recommended.

Very friendly staff and efficient service

I visited on Friday evening and the pub was full. A friendly girl behind the bar offered me a place in the garden until a place in the pub became available.I accepted and half an hour later I asked how things were and another nice girl from behind the bar showed me to a table. After about 10 minutes, the landlady confronted me and told me I shouldn’t have occupied the table! I explained that I had been shown to the table by a member of her staff! She then told me that I had agreed to sit in the garden, I told her that I had until a place became available in the pub. She was very rude and was very much in the wrong. It’s not even a nice pub!

Nice clean pub, very welcoming and a decent choice of beers. Ideal place to watch the Euros if your away from home.

Great place super sunny garden looking after us amazing thanks to James and the team

Very good and clean and well priced

Quick and efficient staff who apply the Covid rules firmly but without being overbearing. Beers are well looked after and the taste shows it.

Dirty pub.Very rude landlord to customers in the pub. Toilets are very dirty in the ladies. Social distancing not being followed by the owners.

WARM AND FRIENDLY WELCOME COVID MEASURES IN PLACE GREAT SERVICE AND GOOD PRICES WE WILL RETURN.

Warm and friendly pub. Great service. Good selection of beers and spirits.

A nice pub, drinks are cheap and bar staff are nice and friendly, more than can be said for the manager who needs to get some customer service skills

Recommended by guest house we were staying at, very reasonably priced drinks in a nice pub but we weren’t made to feel very welcome by some with being shouted at to sanitise & fill in track & trace forms, we know what to do.. that being said the barman was nice & friendly A pub better suited to locals

Really rude women who I presume was the manger/owner.

Quite night football all over the pub one very friendly barman

What a lovely pub, made to feel so welcome 😊, would highly recommend to visit. Can't wait until we visit again x

It's a traditional pub and has never pretended to be anything else. Always felt welcome here and totally relaxed.

On holiday in Torquay and visited this establishment on numerous occasions. It hasn't changed a bit since my last visit. Still has that old English pub charm.

Nice clean pub staff polite gteat prices

Friendly pub, a large selection of well kept beers at a good price. Good atmosphere.

This is a great local pub. Very well done out. It is a very friendly local pub as well. Prices are very good and you can spend a very long time here. You will come back a lot as well. They are located a cross from the main police station. So do not expect them to stay open very long after closing time.

Good beer , nice friendly place

Love that pub,cheap beer but sad it does not do food.it used to do.very tidy pub.

Because it's my local! Good, friendly pub with realistic prices.

V good. A big improvement on what this used to be with friendly staff. AND it's cheap!!!

fantastic pub great vibe lots of friendly locals and the best pint of Guinness for miles well done guys !

We called in one afternoon and we were made most welcome, served with a very good drink at the right price.......the pub was nice, clean and loverly and warm - We would recommend and also return again.

not buzzer but nice quiet pub good location also selection limited of ales average but friendly in Torre

Great cheap night out with friendly staff and locals. Very good prices on the drinks - went back on both of our two nights stay in Torquay.

As pubs go, it's not too shabby.

Great prices and friendly service

Lovely place refurbished to a high standard

£2.10 a pint for Doom Bar (sept 2019). Beer was well kept and nice. Busy pub too. All good.

Good fun, great atmosphere, lovely staff.
