Rating des Ortes: 2 Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom
A few years ago The Guinea Butt used to feature quite frequently on my TW evening jaunts, now the only reason I would venture in there is because it’s the closest pub to where I live, so given that technically it’s my local I think it speaks volumes that I have only been in there twice in the last year. There are so many far nicer pubs in Tunbridge Wells and the Guinea Butt just seems to be on a downward spiral, what happened to the brilliant Sunday Pub Quiz? For me it is reminiscent of a Wetherspoons in both appearance and the fact that I constantly get ID’d even though there appear to be semi-naked teenage girls drinking freely. Like the Wetherspoons around the corner, the one plus is the big indoor seating area if you are in a large party and it’s cold outside, otherwise be on your merry way.

Another of the great ‘I saw a fight at two in the afternoon’ pubs. Not necessarily notable for any other real reason that I can remember other than that. That said it’s a nice enough little pub when the locals can keep themselves sensible. Just opposite Argos if you fancy a pint after a visit to the cave of dreams. Give it a gomaybe

The Guinea Butt is one of the better pubs in Tunbridge Wells for atmosphere as its friendly and has character. It smells a bit of mould/stale beer in places since the smoking ban came into effect, and the toilets are notoriously unpleasant, but if you are after a good night out then there’s few better places. Its got quite a studenty feel(bit scruffy but fun), and tends to appeal to a more rock/grungey crowd, but they get all sorts in and anyone’s welcome. There are two I. T boxes, outside space to drink(and smoke if required), two large tv screens and they have various nights such as a pub quiz on sundays and jam night. The quiz can be quite cliquey as there are many regular teams who know the staff but is usually good fun.
