Cosy, good local beer and ale selection, and very friendly staff. There isn't a huge amount of seating so it can get busy, but it's a great little spot!

Good choice of well kept cask/keg ales at good prices. Place is small and only takes card payments. It is worth a visit if you are in the area.

Modern bar in the centre of town which if you’re a lover of good quality keg and cask beers are definitely is well worth a visit. The staff are all really friendly and helpful and although it’s a little on the small side it’s very spacious inside it does have seating on the outside street. As the area is predominantly dominated by Palmers ales this venue is an oasis for beer lovers. Beer

Great beer, wine and wonderful atmosphere. The beers change very regularly and tend to be from small independent breweries, often local. Would highly recommend. Be aware that they only take card/contractors payments, no cash.

Such a great pub. Just happened to walk past and was so enchanted by the vibes that I had to come inside. Bar staff were welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable. Big up George! Will definitely come back next time I'm in devon.

Great pints and outdoor seating is fantastic. George is a great Barman and probably deserves a raise. If they played flook in the speaker it would be a 3000/10 but as it is 2000/100 would recommend.

This bar had been supplying the denizens of Bridport with quality beer for 7 years. Situated bang in the centre of the town it offers seating inside as well as on the pavement. Beers changing all the time. Always a dark one available. Been in the Good Beer Guide since opening too. Bar staff are welcoming especially the lovely Emily. Look out for the lurcher, Finn. Mad as frogs.

A small bar bang in the centre of town offering 6 handpumped ales as well as keg craft ales and a fridge of unusual canned beers. This oasis in a desert of Palmers shoite ale has been lubricating the throats of the discerning drinkers in Bridport for 6 years. Recently changed hands but new owner just as attentive as the outgoing lad! Example of bliss? Sat out on a Friday, sunny evening, watching the envious people sat in their cars at the lights as you drain your third pint.

Damaging as this rating is and making this rating with a heavy heart as I do; it’s not exactly a proper pub. Too many hipsters and too many people I can’t be bothered to have a conversation with out of not being rude the place has no character. I could polish my boots by merely rubbing my shoe against the wall - something they’d happily kick you out for which you just wouldn’t get in a classic pub. Nice selection of ales sure but not an authentic place in which to drink them in. Rub the paint off, install a blood stain in the ceiling and a horrible smelling carpet on the floor to create a real pub feeling. I wish this pub and the owners all the best.

What a great little bar, tasters offered to everyone as they came through the door, fantastic rolling selection of beers from across the country if the collection of pump clips is to believed - including from our home town of Elland. Only downside is the early finish of the local bus service

We called into The Pursuit of Hoppiness this afternoon. It was a fantastic experience. We were greeted and served by Val the Barman he made us very welcome and comfortable. His knowledge of the selection of Ales on offer was excellent. Although very hot and humid on observation he treated every customer with the same welcome and service. He is a real asset to the business. Will definitely return when we're back Bridport. 10 out of 10 for and excellent experience👌

While the range of beer is amazing, I’m afraid the offhand nature of the guy behind the bar left us feeling cold. We’re lucky to have some great independent beer shops where we live so were looking forward to learning more from this obviously popular place in Bridport and having a good natter with a fellow beer lover. Sadly, the guy behind the bar couldn’t have been less welcoming. We shan’t return. A massive shame.

We've been popping into this pub everytime we've been camping in Eype & have always had a pleasant drink/experience..but not today...maybe I'm not groovy or millennial enough.. but got welcomed ,sat ,then ignored and after futilely trying to catch the attention of the hipster to engrossed in his phone to attend to our needs we decided to leave.. When he decided to look up with a cheery wave and a see you later guys.. Doubt that very much a shame really as I like and try to use micropubs as much as possible but It must be an age thing ..so if you haven't got a waxed moustache or a funky hat you're invisible..

What a find?! I called in for a quick pint of cask ale at lunchtime with my wife. Ended up "sampling" 3 pints each and staying rather longer. The 6-mile walk home seemed far easier than the 6 mile walk there! They stock an excellent range of ales from small brewers around the country, changing regularly. Made a welcome change from Palmers, the local brewery's beers. Great cask ales, great service, very pleasant staff. Will definitely visit again.

I had the Marie rose prawn salad which was delicious - fresh and tasty and the bread was so good. My partner had the weekend special smoked mackerel sandwich on white sourdough. I tried some myself and it was mouthwateringly unreal. And now he won't shut up about how it's one of the best sandwiches he's ever eaten!

This beautiful enticing building from the outside caught out attention so we popped in. We didn’t eat as we had just eaten elsewhere but wished we had. It looked an interesting menu. We did have a mooch around the shop though which was full of lovely gifts and homewares. We will be back next visit.

Stayed here for 1 night on a Friday, very friendly welcome. We stayed in the 'Green Room, a double bed with a large balcony with fabulous views over the bay. The room was very comfortable and clean with checkin from 4.00pm and check out by 10.00am. No parking but large car park a few minutes walk away at Woodmead Car Park. This is a popular pub with good atmosphere. The pub clearly state the you will be able to hear custmers talking and if a Friday / Saturday then you will hear the live music. Best to check for events on their website if you want to avoid those evenings. For Lyme Regis this is great value for money.

Experience started off well - can't book dining online so e-mailed request and ended up having to phone - conversation was very friendly and welcoming. From then on it went down-hill. I have some restricted mobility and walk with a stick. Arrive at front of pub and realise its a steep flight of stairs to entrance. Manage up that, holding on to railing. OK welcome when we got in - we were early for our6pm booking but no problem although we were told kitchen doesn't start till 6 (says 5 on website). Where do we sit - here or upstairs - where's the toilet - upstairs - OK we'll sit upstairs. Two young kids around the bar (owner's presumably) - we order drinks and have to start carrying them and menus up steep and narrow stairs to the next floor. Has an eclectic look to the room, plus an external covered patio area. Everywhere has dirt / dead flies and isn't appealing. By then all hell had broken out in a very aggressive domestic back downstairs in the bar - manager and staff (wife?) - all about whether glasses were dirty - this had started in front of one of us while waiting for drinks to be poured - manager part poured a coke held it up and said glass is dirty - poured into another glass and said this one was dirty too - but then proceeded to fill the glass up and hand it over to the customer. The staff member (wife?) denied they were dirty and said she had cleaned them. As we sat upstairs the row just got louder and louder - and was clearly in front of the kids as well. We were the only customers and sat debating to order or to go. The argument suddenly stopped. We were feeling decidedly uncomfortable - no one came near us at 6 to see if we wanted to order. We decided to beat a retreat quickly and went back downstairs to pay for our drinks. The manager did ask us if there was a reason why we weren't staying - we didn't want to get into a conversation about the the appalling behaviour so just left.
