The Royal Oak in Weymouth and Portland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Staff were amazing above and beyond.

A Gorgeous little pub located in a lovely little corner down by the bridge on the Quayside. Amazing staff and amazing locals. It gets busy when the sunshines and the area can getting really busy. Only downside the place has is being close to a main traffic through route that can get busy busy on warm days. Still a nice stop off point for a refreshing drink.

Vert nice old pub on the waterfront.

Friendly barstaff & good beers , nice Harbourside seating area.

Didn't eat there so can't score food. Plenty of choice for drinks. Live singer, loved it..

Just about warm enough to sit outside and have a beer

Great little pub next the harbour and with lots of outside seating. Always good for real ales, and they vary them routinely, which is nice.

We sat outside in the sunshine 🌞 staff friendly, and the situation right by the water is wonderful. We had a drink then walked a bit further.

This is the 1st time i have popped in here. I usually go in the anchor next door but they were'nt open at the time (11.30am). Its a very small & cosy pub with a sml selection on tap as well as the usual top shelf choices. Decor is focused on the nautical theme which fits in well with its position on the quay. Can't comment on the food as never had anything but they do have a menu. Staff are very polite & welcoming. Worth a visit.

Good location overlooking the harbour. Good range of real ales. Reasonable prices and good friendly service. I haven't tried the food...yet! Maybe 5 stars next time if I like the food.

Charging £22 + for a bottle of wine that is £8 in the supermarket is unacceptable Your pub is not filled with comfy furnishing it is very basic and run by youngsters! I’ve been a customer for several years but won’t be back in a hurry! If the Old Rooms can sell decent wine at £16 then it shows your greed!

Great Friday night with super live music

Love Rhian! So sweet. Great bar staff. Thanks for looking after us 😍xx

Came here on Saturday night whilst on holiday. Nice wine and beer, great duo. They could play anything you requested. Great atmosphere, enjoyed a dance. Friendly staff. Would definitely return.

In October 2023 on the last night of our 2 week holiday, me my wife and son with autism decided to go round a couple of pubs near the harbour. We entered the Royal Oak and I noticed they had real ale ciders on, id never heard of pineapple cider before and my favourite fruit is pineapple that appealed to me, the young friendly barmaid them asked if id like to sample it first and it was lovely. My son enjoys singing and the lady had some music on to which my son knew so a duet was formed to which the regulars gave a round of aplause to at the end. A really down to earth no hairs or graces but welcoming pub

Great night with Aman awesome female singer on

Wonderful pub right on Weymouth Harbour. Seating/smoking at front. Live music on Sunday afternoons. Great local fun atmosphere.

Great afternoon lovely people great service going back very soon.

We ordered 2 burgers, 1 chicken and 1 beef burger the Melt with 2 burgers but no bbq sauce and both burger buns were dry and very hard, no table check, we also ordered 2 for 1 cocktails and then asked for straws, the staff bought them over in his hands 😪. Overall a not so enjoyable experience for what we paid. 😭 And we paid for it before we got it.

great beer spoilt by awful live music

The most "proper pub" along the keyside, which also means that it is more favoured by locals. That said, they're great and mix well with the tourists. Though one has a very cute but rather smelly little dog. The pub is Camra registered, (or was as I did not see any signs this time) and serves the best range of ales along the quayside. Plenty of seats outside, weather permitting.

Descent establishment, seating outside over looking the harbour. Staff were friendly, beer was good. Nice and peaceful watching the world go by. Dog friendly place. Had a nice quiet pint. Enjoyed.

Nice little pub at the side of a very large one with views over marina. Can be difficult to park but there us a multi storey 2 mins walk away. Also dog friendly.

Yeh went in for a quick half dinnertime real friendly good pub 👍 😀

Usually have music and being on the Quay it has lots of atmosphere.

Great on a Sunday afternoon for live entertainment

Had drinks here. OK pub but nothing special. Usual Cornish beers on draught. Card payments accepted.

1 star for location only. Went here spilt accidentally drink on the hole ridden tables and asked for a replacement, was bluntly refused...watch your glasses on the outside tables it could be a pricey visit.

Proper pub lovely and quirky locals good laugh

Lovely pub. Very friendly lady called Kia was amazing. Very professional. Thank you to Kia.

Fine smaller pub, connected to next door Anchor. Used to have a more diverse ale selection than todays drab Sharps and St.Austell though

Great selection of ales and ciders here, friendly little pub, staff go the extra mile to make your visit a good one.

Down to earth dog friendly pub with good local beers . Great location, mostly local punters.

We come to Weymouth for a weekend break at least once a year. This pub was always one we used regularly but sadly we won’t be anymore. We appreciate that prices have to increase in the current economic climate but this is ridiculous. Way more expensive than other pubs in the area. We could have tolerated it being tourists for the weekend but the barman doesn’t exactly make you feel welcome. He would have looked happier if he was on death row!! Such a shame but plenty of other options nearby.

Great fun.good band.we had a lovelly time

Friendly barman, reasonable prices & by the harbour. Also stays open later than other bars. No complaints & will visit again!

Nice friendly staff, real ale, cute little pub.

Great old fashioned pub by the harbour by the bridge, live music.

Very nice been watching the queen's funeral Very respecble bar girls clean and nice go their worth the journey

Wrong drinks again. Can’t even be bothered to get them changed this time.

Had a couple ciders sat in the sun, by the harbour side. Was a nice atmosphere and the ciders were cold. Very nice.

Cheap drinks but the staff are so miserable.

Nice view over harbour and watching the bridge go up.

Wasn't really impressed with this place and now I know why! It's owned by the Anchor next door! The manageress said she's not allowed to do tasters!! Well at circa £5 pint, go somewhere else!! I've never known a place to never give tasters!! 🤔 It's a shame but we won't go there again! They do give CAMRA discount which is very good and it's in a cracking little spot, but if management are going to be that tight then get your custom from someone else! I want to spend my money somewhere that appreciates the customer!! I hasten to add, I rarely give negative reviews and I've only just realised about The Anchor being part of this business! I gave a poor review last year about The Anchor! This is probably why I've got issues with The Royal Oak! 🤪

Nice traditional pub good selection of real ales and ciders, discount for camra members,seating outside Good for people watching,nice view of the harbour. Still the same highly recommended

Still the same ! Filthy toilets, kids not allowed at the bar even to choose there drinks

Nice pub on the river/harbour with great staff.

Lovely place right on the harbour

The staff on Monday afternoon were more friendly than on tuesday evening.

It's a great pub. With good drinks and views. But has a miserable looking barmaid who never smiles

Nice selection of cider of tap good friendly staff

Good old fashioned pub right in the harbour side by the drawer bridge. Very sunny spot so it does get busy. Very good pint of Guinness so was well happy

Perfect classic local pub. Go if you want a authentic pub experience, complete with dogs, outside tables, boisterous Brits on holiday and perfect pints!

Great pub, the lad behind the bar was brilliant , just rushed off his feet with no help at all from the other staff. So the wait for a drink was a bit excessive.

Visited here Saturday, asked for a gin and tonic and the barman grabbed the bottle and said “do you want a single or double, please say single, otherwise I’ll have to get another bottle” so went with a single and a few pints. Very unhappy guy serving, at this point we were the only ones in the pub. Then the same guy is just moaning about the way the place is run and shouting down his radio to next door. Toilets were pretty grim and smelly aswell.

It's always an alternate pub to the rendezvous

Great outdoor seating. Friendly staff, dogs welcome... Bodacious experience

Watch the football last night Southampton and Liverpool there's only 12 in the bar so it's quiet

Great little pub! Fair priced alcohol! Friendly staff

A refreshing place to stop whilst walking our puppy

Old fashioned bar with reasonably priced drinks. Great for people watching on the benches outside beside the Town bridge.

The 5 star rating is for a typical Sunday in the Royal Oak. Great atmosphere, friendly punters and a cracking entertainer called Karen. Well worth dropping in if you ever find yourself in the old harbour in Weymouth.

Fantastic entertainment from the bar staff, so glad to see Jenna and sue are back!

Vile pub, I felt so uncomfortable as soon as I walked in, an there was only 2 other customers in, wasn't too clean to be honest....won't be going again, really let's down the harbour side 😢 don't feel it deserves 1 star but had to but it

Karen on a Sunday afternoon well worth popping in she's great

A no frills no nonsense drinking Inn and the most pubby of all the outlets adjourning the Quay side. Having a well worn character would be my fitting description for both this single roomed pub and the locals that frequent it given the experience of a couple of visits over the time we stayed in Weymouth. There are six ale hand pumps on the bar and five of these were in operation for our visit. Alongside Sharps Doom Bar and Atlantic there were Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, Wadsworth 6X and Dorset Brewing’s Durdle Door, and as we were visiting Durdle Door during our stay it would have been rude not to try the Dorset bitter. Alongside the ales and keg pumps there were nine cider boxes behind the bar and a good range of local scrumpy was available. Didn’t see any food outside of bar snacks, but regular music sessions were advertised to take place on the small stage area to the right of the bar. I enjoyed it here but its earthy appeal won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

Great pub, overwhelming choice of booze.

Rhys was such a lovely barman, served all of our drinks in a friendly manner and with a smile. Will definitely return.

Great little pub right next to the water friendly atmosphere and great staff

Good local live music. Feels like a local not a chain in a good way.

Good prices for beer. A bit on the small side. Better to sit outside, weather permitting. Not really a food place. .

Good choice of real ales good camera discount

One of the only places to get a pint of offshore in weymouth. has a lovely large range of ciders and 3 to four real ales. The council have affected this place as you cannot take a pint outside unless you have a table now and there are very few tables sadly. Great pub

Haven't been in this little pub for some time now. Great views of the harbour. I've got to say that the atmosphere in here is fantastic thanks to Sally who runs it so sufficiently. All staff look happy to be working this very busy bank holiday. Sally, keep being you. You're a great asset to this company

Nice little traditional pub on Weymouth harbour; sit inside or quayside in the sun at a few picnic style benches & tables. Friendly bar staff and was child friendly whilst we were there during the day. Good selection of drinks available.

A nice and 'proper' pub in a lovely waterside spot. Decent drink choice at reasonable prices. Visited three times this week and would definitely go again.

Best pub on the quay. We sailed to Weymouth and stayed 3 days and this pub was our local for that time. Very welcoming and friendly staff who go out of their way to help. Great place to visit.

Great example of a local pub in Weymouth. Decent prices, nice area and live music on Saturdays

Very busy pub on the quayside. All seats outside were taken but as it's our favourite along the quay, we sat inside. I may be wrong but it seemed brighter inside than I remember, all the panels are now painted grey but it still feels like a proper pub.

Great place bar staff more than happy to help you seating outside next to harbour

Wouldn’t bother if you want a drink on the same day, you may aswell preorder your pint a week before so they’re aware. Awful service, definitely need speed training as it doesn’t take half a year to pour a pint.

After arriving and telling the staff we were a family of 10 from the same household they seated us at a table of 6 and a 4. We all stayed at our table enjoying our afternoon and having a drink. 2 and a half hours and hundreds of pounds later the change of staff refuses to serve us . They said as we were together they could no longer serve us. Make up your mind you either seat us or not you don’t let people spend a lot of money then kick us out! When we challenged them We were told that they seated only 6 adults and then 4 children sneaked in and were seated on their own which surely is not allowed either! But the 4 children’s drinks were added to our bill so again knew we were together. If we had been turned away initially we would have have accepted this as we are a large household. Rude staff except the initial man that seated us . Need to get your rules clear and not let people in to spend money until it suits you. Regulars to Weymouth but would never return to this pub or others in its chain

Sat for 15 minutes. Was completely ignored for 15 minutes. When somebody finally deigned to come to the table, his comment was 'Its because you are sat right up here on the edge!' Yes, at the only table that was empty! Was then ignored for a further 10 minutes. Not enough to trade off location...walked 5 minutes away and had a superb meal in pleasant surroundings served by excellent, attentive staff!

Wonderful service location didn't have any food but heard it was good the wine and coffee were lovely.

Only had drinks and snacks but beautiful view and lovely service Very nice staff right by the bridge that opens up for all the lovely bid yahts to go through. Great to see.

The location makes this pub really popular and it's a good lively place. Covid measures make it quite a challenge for the staff to maintain the correct one way system around the pub. Having said that most customers were respectful. The queue system seemed to work fine and drinks served in paper cups if there were no tables. Friendly helpful staff who went out if their way to help.

Lovely to sit outside and people watch

Authentic British pub overlooking the harbour & bridge, with friendly staff serving real ales. 👍

You drink in one place when go next door for food very slow get the food over an hour after you ordered

Revisited after several months,used to be a regular.. My locals, regulars discount card not accepted. Entered to a cold welcome, choice of only 2 warm beers on offer. Worst still, the whole outside area is now plastered with No Smoking signs, literally nowhere for smokers. This used to be a lively fisherman’s pub, let’s see how the pub gets on this winter when all the tourists have gone home..

Nice place to get a bite to eat

Royal oak is a wicked pub if you got the weather then sitting outside with a few friends is the perfect place to meet

Very helpful and receptive staff. Thank you

The Royal Oak pub (part of the Rendezvouz pub/club) is not trading within the law. On our visit, the pints were not been served as 568ml and customers were been short changed. The pub was not offering the 20% advertised discount to CAMRA members for purchases of real ales. The pub and staff were not fully adhering to Covid19 guidance and rules on social distancing and safe practices. Stonegate pub company head office informed. Trading standards informed.

Great Place with Fabulous Staff great fun

The Royal oak is a good old fashioned pub on Weymouth harbour. Good selection of beer. Nice atmosphere. You can sit outside on the harbour front. My favourite pub to go to in weymouth.

Lovely place round the harbour

A friendly pub, cheap, and close to harbour, Ideal in summer, dog friendly,,,

Great pub, friendly atmosphere. The toilets were in need of a clean

Fab pub. Fab sunday afternoon sessions with live music from Karen.
