The Grange bar is located in Grange about a mile outside Douglas and near Frankfield. It is situated just off the main road. There are plenty of car parking spaces at the front, side and back of the pub. There are two entrances into the grange. If you go in the entrance facing the road there is a little front bar to your right in the front porch. I have only actually looked in and written on the door is ‘members only’. As you walk in you will notice the bar is over to your right. If you walk to the left there is a big seating area. The seating in this pub is very comfortable and there are many nice areas to sit. Continue straight on and there’s more seating to the left and the bar goes straight down. Keep on walking and there are more seating areas to your left. There are a few big screen tv’s around the place and would be good for a match. It is all carpeted. I have been in there five times and i know a lot of people and it’s their local. The pints in fairness are really quite good. I didn’t have a bad one in any of my visits.
I don’t know why i get the impression but it seems that the Grange is very under decorated and bare. That’s just the impression i get from the place. It seems very poorly designed but thats just an opinion of course. On my last two visits the toilets have been in a bad state. The people i was there with commented on this fact too. I was in there earlier in the day and they weren’t too bad. They are located by the side doors. You have a choice of ‘the little boys room or ‘the powder room’. They have live music there on a Saturday night. We were there tonight and the Chinese restaurant next door brought in some food for people to eat. Four of us ended up going into Mau’s for our dinner and it was very tasty. There is only one pub in the vicinity ‘The Pinecroft’ and i’ve never been in there. Head in for a pint if your in the area.
Toilet rating: 2/10
Pint rating: 7/10
Overall rating: 6/10
Final comment: The Grange is a nice pub for a pint. Its main trade i’d say are it’s regulars who live in the area. It looks nice from the outside but as i said i think the inside is a bit disappointing.
