Come and enjoy great value and fantastic hospitality
The Merchants Inn opened at Easter 2002 and since then has gone from strength to strength with onus being on good quality real ale and foreign beer. As you can see we take a lot of pride in serving only the best ale from all over the country and since opening we have sold over 2000 different Ales! Which has led to numerous awards including Warwickshire Pub of The Year (2003 & 2007), Rugby CAMRA Pub Of The Year (2003, 2006 & 2007) along with the Rugby Customer care award an unprecedented 4 times in a row (2003 – 2007) Our fridges are stocked with some of the finest continental beers that Europe has to offer (mainly German & Belgian) and our some of the countries best Ciders & Perries. So much so our drinks range has led to entries in The Good Beer Guide & Good Cider Guide.
We only stopped off for a quick drink before heading off for a curry so only had a quick look around. The place had a good atmosphere and it was pretty busy as it was the last week before Christmas I expect. There's parking nearby although we had to park on the road a few minutes away.
One of a kind. Amazing atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and very good drinks.
Loved it in here. When I went in I said I hadn't been here before and wasn't sure what I wanted, the lovely woman working behind the bar gave me samples of five drinks! I chose my favourite and went and sat in a nice and cozy room with great decor. I'll definitely be back.
A first-rate establishment for a drink. Plenty to choose including scrumpy-type ciders, ales, and bottled beers. The walls are covered with interesting breweriana memorabilia and ceilings are clad with pump clips of ales past. Always a smashing atmosphere. One of best places for quite some miles. Cheers 🍻
If you love beer, go here. Best place for beer in Rugby and surrounding areas. My brewer-husband described the beer as ‘exceptional’ and ‘well kept’. The wine selection was a disappointing - I had a very acidic French chardonnay, and they don’t do coca-cola behind the bar, just a very herbal Fevertree Cola. The place is impressively decorated inside with beer memorabilia, and they play sports on a large projector screen.
