Sitting proudly on the a corner of the road from Broomhill to Crosspool, The Grindstone is an ideal place to either start or finish a pub crawl along Crookes.

Whilst the decor is comprised of dark walls and wood along with the obligatory shelves above head-level populated by "quaint" household items from times past, this sits at odds with the pool tables, big screen tv and fruit-machines that fill the place with noise.

That having been said, this is still one of the better pubs in the area with a good choice of ales, beers, spirits and alcopops for those that must indulge in such things... and the cocktail pitchers are quite nice as well.

If you really like the place then you could just forget about the pub crawl and crawl out of here at the end of the night.

No way Matty baby, I was hoping I'd find Mr Right in here (aka Robbie Williams) but instead I found that the beer tasted like cake mixture and the carpet was the colour of a chunder rainbow. Walk on by!

Matt
A reasonable selection of beers and nice food at a reasonable price. The service however is rubbish - the bar staff would rather chat to each other than serve the customers, and when they do they're the slowest bar staff ever!

Nick Hayne
Not a bad pub, got a mix of lager and ales. You can have trouble getting the locals to relinquish the pool/snooker tables but it does have a good Rock jukebox if you like that kind of thing.

Best of the worst not too bad Foods ok, not really one thing or The other (fun pub or local) Mainly students, good at lunch Times .and good if you like Football on TV

eddy
not a bad little place, tends to get a bit too cramped sometimes, and the landlord is a tad annoying.

Mat
If I knew who "Bazola" was then I'm sure I'd agree with you, Les.

les
