This is a nice pub on what used to be a busy road
well it was once a coaching inn on the old A39. You enter a quaint country inn with seating
to the left and right. Straight ahead is
a small bar, with a restaurant area to the rear. In the winter it normally has a nice log fire
burning. Its changed hands several times
in the last 5 years but its worth a visit.
Stu 8/10 Feb 2001
A pretty ex-coaching inn, with an
interesting windowed entrance way, coal fire with lovely brass jugs and trays.
Lovely paintings on walls, one of the pub, itself. A warm cosy atmosphere. Sue Sept 98

Look at the inn sign as you drive into the car
park. The picture of a Giant Panda is
due to the fact that bamboo for the pandas at London Zoo used to be grown
nearby. It has a fairly basic
interior. When I ordered food once, they
had to go to the corner shop and buy it!
Even so its a friendly local. Stu

Pub very nice on the outside, in a
pretty village. The inside is a real let down. Pub doesn't seen to have
anything going for it. John 5/10 Nov

Not very taken with this pub too much
for locals. Photos of pandas on wall. Too many children running around
unsupervised for my liking and a pool area intrudes into pub. Shame, because
its set in a nice village. Complete redecorating and redesigning in order, I
think. Sue Sept 98

A modern pub specialising in discos for the

It used to be very much a young people's disco
pub, for the last few years has become more family orientated pool pub with
evening entertainment. Was not impressed by children being there so late, and
not well supervised. Hope situation improves, as this pub has gone up in my
estimation in recent years. Very large floor area now used for pool and
karaoke, with raised upper area suitable for viewing. Sue 8.5/10 visit Sept 2001
A large beachside pub with lots of fruit machines and pool tables. This pub knows what kind of punter it wants to attract and everyone knows where they stand. Lots of Familys in the afternoon, but more of a disco in the evening. John 6/10 Sept 2001

A nice pub, which is a little on the
small size. Gets very crowded in the summer, like most Looe pubs. Low
ceiling, flagstone floor and beams add to the atmosphere. John 7.5/10 visit Sept 2001
Again, the atmosphere
of this pub has changed over the years. Currently reasonably quiet locals pub,
though in the past has been more touristy. Pub itself unchanged for as long as
I remember single bar with alcove area. No
food emphasis at the moment, though used to be Food - orientated. Better if
uncrowded, as the bar is small, as with the Fishermans Arms. Also, as with the
Fishermans old stone walls remain. Wood panel decor, with red
furnishings. Atmosphere not always as friendly as it is now. Sue 7.5/10 visit Sept 2001
Better than average and

Once upon a time there was this pub in Looe called
the Double Deckers. Whilst its patrons
will admit its not the greatest pub in the world, it did have a lot of
character and had a great 70s rock jukebox which brought in old hippies and
bikers for miles around. So everyone (in
the pub) was happy. Then along came the big bad brewery realising they had a
big pub in a popular seaside town and decide to turn the Double Deckers into a
upmarket yuppie bar. Because they spent
so much money on the new posh dιcor they now expect the customers to gratefully
pay their new higher prices! Lets hope
there will be happy ending, but I think not.

The Double Deckers is always a
favourite with me because of the excellent jukebox and friendly
atmosphere. The jukebox still has the same songs as 20 years-ago; heavy rockers
paradise! Not a pretty place but full of character! visit Aug 97 mouse mark 9.
Since the last visit it has been
totally 'yuppified' lost the jukebow and has no clientele. Totally destroyed
the atmosphere. A great shame. visit Oct 00 mouse mark 5 Sue 2000
Formely known as Double deckers, this upper/lower
bar pub is one I have known with affection for years for its classic jukebox
and great atmosphere. However the upper bar is now a ' nightclub ' and has lost
its jukebox! The
Lower bar ( which was unremarkable in the past ) has now installed handpump and
is a much more credible pub than it has been in the last years! One to watch in
years to come?
Sue 7.5/10 Sept 2001
Better than the last time i visited! The lower bar has Real Ale and passable
decor now. The upper bar is a seperate nightclub bar open until 01-00.

One of the oldest pubs in Looe dating back to
1611. Cosy atmosphere, but can be too
cosy at certain times! If you can't see through the door don't bother! But in
the day and early evening its very pleasant with good friendly atmosphere. Pub
dog (Boxer) very friendly! Tiled floor with stone walls, fireplace and old
beams. Red and black wood ceiling, and green furnishings. Wooden fish on walls,
and ship's wheel, as well as old smuggling notices. Sue 8.5/10 visit Sept

This pub has always been popular with me over the years,
as its close to the guest house where I usually stay. Lovely views of harbour
and River Looe, especially at night, when the lights of the town reflect onto
the river.
Food excellent and varied. A good pub to chat and relax in. Separate restaurant
at the other end of the pub. Raised seating areas ensure good views from all
seats. Sue 9/10 visit Sept 2001
Pub by the river, which it uses to
full affect by having windows all along the front of the pub, so you have a
nice view out. More
modern than most pubs in Looe, but has a good
atmosphere. Not as roomy as it looks and
can get crowded in the evening. John

Tiled floor and red decor, with old low beams and pretty fireplace, but by far the best feature is the snug bar, with lovely pictures of Looe's Fish Market and coastline. I remember these have been here for more than 20 years and still a special feature of this pub!

This pub should really be called the
New Inn, because inside its very modern and plasticky. Come to think of it St
Austells have a lot of pubs called The New Inn which are old. You can't get
comfortable in a pub if you are uncomfortable with the decor. (Old Chinese proverb - Stu) John

In contrast to its name, I thought the
decor in this pub was too new looking, rather cheap and plasticky. Friendly
landlord though. Damaged furniture could
do with replacing and general improvements would be an idea.
