RE: Manx pubs, good and bad?
The Old Market Inn in Douglas!.
Dave raises many a shilling for the S100 helicopter fund, is a regular contributor to the TT forum, and, of course, has hosted the traditional Mad Sunday TT forum meeting, furnishing us with free pasties & pies!
The White House in peel is a cracking real ale pub too.
The Hooded Ram brewery in Douglas has beer straight form source, usually at a good price on a Tuesday.
Rovers Return in Douglas is a very pleasant experience.
Bushys tent not as much!
Pubs on the prom tend to be not cheap & too busy for us, but we're getting really old now.

RE: Manx pubs, good and bad?
What about pubs further out from Douglas Captain Sparkle? Probably looking for food as well as we're only on B&B.

The thick smoke down to feet level in The Dogs was traditional - it was like it every day :o), other traditional stop-offs no longer with us are Legs of Mann, New Strand, Theatre Royal, Ridgeway and a few more I can't remember haha it was a proper tour/crawl around those watering holes. There are still quite a few left though on The Barbary Coast as it is/was known along and just off the quayside in between the railway station and the quay bridge -, Bridge, British, Saddle, Clarendon, Albert, Old Market.

RE: Manx pubs, good and bad?
Apologies for coming to this chat so late (only became a member 12 hours ago)
I will be making my first visit to the TT next year and just want to get an idea of average costs for eating and drinks.
I'm sure it will all vary depending on where we go on the island but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
And sorry if this is a repetitive question.
Cheers folks
Dom

RE: Manx pubs, good and bad?
It really depends which part of the U.K, or even part of the world, you are from.
For example, as a Uk Northerner who moved here, I find it is generally a little bit more expensive to eat and drink, not massively, but I suppose a Londoner would say it's about the same as home, or maybe a bit cheaper.
There are plenty of places to choose from, and prices to suit all budgets from McDonald's upwards.
I'm sure there will be a few others adding some recommendations to this thread for you in due course.
