Quick info
About The Courthouse
The Courthouse sits on North Street in Rugby, a British gastropub that combines the roles of restaurant, cocktail bar and live music venue under one roof. The kitchen turns out a broad menu that includes Malaysian curry, woodfired pizzas, Indian barbecue and burgers from the bowling alley, alongside a list of cocktails at the bar. Dogs are welcome inside. The pub keeps a garden out back fitted with seating set apart from the street, where live music plays on band nights, and the indoor room carries its share of style in the table settings. Darts and sport round out the format on the main floor, and food and drinks are served throughout the venue rather than restricted to a separate dining wing.

Customer Review Summary
Most praise the friendly bar staff and the lively garden with bands, while the Malaysian curry and woodfired pizzas get singled out as worth trying. Food quality divides opinion: several call it fresh and plentiful, others say it is over-salted, overpriced, or light on chips. One reviewer describes the manager as rude to staff. Service is mostly praised, though slow pacing is noted.

“Staff friendly, but service slow,food Brought out separately and cleared away when people on the table still eating, food was far to salty, the salt on the food needs to be cut back.”
- Piyush Patel
“Went here for the champions league final. Drinks were great. But food was even better! So fresh and plentiful! Will return.”
- Kerry Whiteside
“The Manager is really rude and not at all friendly no please or thank-you. The staff are spoken down too and patronised. The actual lady's on the bar were lovely and very friendly but the manger needs some lessons in customer service. Wine and food was lovely. The band on in the garden area were fantastic.”
