About The Pub
The Pub is a pub in Braintree, on East St, with a dance floor where live bands, singers and DJs perform. Themed nights run from bingo to live bands, and pool is played on site. Sport is shown on about 5 televisions around the main bar, so several events can be on at once. The drinks selection includes a wide range of ales and other beers. A small attached eatery serves smoked meats, and a BBQ van operates outside. Separate venues attached to the pub host events such as kids' parties, weddings and wakes. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Live music draws the most mentions at this small Braintree pub, with reviewers describing a local band one night, live bands at weekends, and Saturday sets with a dance floor and good seating. Close behind are themed nights, bingo among them, and sport shown on about five screens across the main bar. Drinkers point to a wide choice of ales and other beers, and a few mention a small eatery attached serving smoked meats and a bbq van outside, while one has not yet tried the food. Criticism is limited but specific. One family was told by the owner, before their drinks arrived, that their underage daughter could not play pool, and they said they would use other pubs in Braintree instead. Another reviewer marked the pub down because parking near it is tricky. Staff and regulars are repeatedly called friendly, with bar staff described as lovely, chatty and quick, and several call the atmosphere great despite the small size.
