Frommer's Review

This place long ago abandoned the practice of serving glasses of rare vintage wine. Today it's a bustling, sometimes raucous, English-style pub, with a busy lunch business, and a bar list that includes beer and whiskies but not a lot of wine. The few wines that are served cost from £1 to £4.50 ($2-$9) per glass. It's one of the preferred venues for Gibraltar's business community, who appreciate the free tapas (the selection changes daily) served every day from 5 to 9pm. You'll find up to five kinds of beer on tap here, with pints selling for £2 ($4) each; Friday nights a DJ spins danceable music to a clientele that includes sailors from a variety of ports worldwide, but especially England.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
