The Rovers Return Pub

The Rovers Return Pub A small but large back street pub Brigade memorabilia abounds, and the old brass hose nozzles form the beer pumps.
(443)

A small busy back street town pub, the oldest in Douglas (well it’s a toss up between The Rovers and the Saddle on the Quay) situated in the lane behind the Town Hall, The Rovers’ continues the Bushy’s philosophy of catering for a mixed crowd. It is very busy at lunchtimes with many “suits” and office girls, alongside builders, pensioners and shoppers working their way through the menu as well as

the Bushy’s beers and guest ales. (limp wristed, arty-farty types have likened it to a Bruegel painting) An open fire welcomes in the winter, and outside tables on the cobbled lane look after the summer trade. The small backroom is a shrine to Blackburn Rovers F.C. – (Martin’s obsession) – crammed full of photos, paintings and a cabinet full of shirts, footballs and rare mementos (very sad!). The back room was extended a few years ago to offer a large lounge area and a pool room and in 2003 the Rovers was extended further – this time sideways and downwards – to give another lounge area. The pub’s main theme is the fire brigade – it was an obvious port of call for the men who staffed the old fire station opposite who wished to continue quenching after putting out a fire or following a struggle with a pussy somewhere around Douglas. This pub is a must for anyone wanting to see a totally unspoiled Manx ‘boozer’.

For those not aware we have recently lost a dear friend and a treasured local, Jo Robinson.
Her service will be at It’s at Douglas lawn borough cemetery on Wednesday 12th February at 12:30pm for those wishing to attend. It’ll be around an hour long and then onto celebrating her life afterwards here at rovers.

Jo was an amazing woman, she left a mark on everyone she met. She had a heart of gold, and was kind, funny and f*ckin badass! It’ll be a shame to say goodbye but the least we can do is raise a good ol’ Morgan Spiced and Diet Coke in her memory. Hope to see you all there.

Goose and the team.
