With The Dodger – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

♠️🍻 Imagine telling the missus…
“I’m just popping to the pub for a quiet poker game…”

…then 12 months later you’re stood in **Las Vegas** wearing sunglasses indoors, calling someone from Birmingham a “cowboy” over pocket twos. 🇺🇸😂

That’s right…
You can play poker in a friendly local pub environment…
✅ No casino sharks
✅ No intimidating smoke-filled back rooms
✅ No entry fee to play

Just a pint, some banter, questionable bluffs, and the chance to accidentally become the next UK Pub Poker legend. 🃏

Here’s how it works👇

🍺 Turn up at your local pub game
🏆 Finish in the Top 4 over the season
🎟️ Qualify for your Regional Final
✈️ Win a ticket to Las Vegas

But wait… it gets even crazier…

📍Regionals happen 4 times a year
📍Nationals happen twice a year
📍Top 10 players from Regionals go through to Nationals
📍By the end of the year… around 100 pub players head to Las Vegas FOR FREE 🤯

One minute you’re ordering chips and curry sauce at the bar…
Next minute you’re sitting under neon lights in Vegas pretending you know what “pot odds” means. 😂

So…
🃏 If you play poker — find a local pub running games
🍻 If you own a pub — maybe it’s time to host one

Because somewhere out there… Dave from Newport is already practising his poker face in the bathroom mirror. 😎♠️

🚨 WELL… THIS IS AWKWARD… 🚨

We had a little “thing” happen last week at The Red Lion Stow Hill … 👀🍺

Apparently the cellar inspectors turned up expecting to find the usual “sticky pub floor & mystery pint line” situation…

Instead they handed us:

⭐ ONLY 5⭐ Beer & Cellar Hygiene Rating
⭐ TOP MARKS for EVERY cask ale on sale
⭐ Including beauties like London Pride & Butty Bach 🍻

Not saying we’re proud…

…but the cellar’s currently strutting around like it’s just won Love Island. 😎

So if your pint tastes extra glorious lately — now you know why. 🍺✨

Pop in, raise a glass, and help us celebrate the cleanest pipes this side of Newport 😂

So we had a “thing” last week .. We ain’t ones to gloat !’ Only 5* Beer & Cellar Hygine Rating & Top marks for each cask ales we had on sale
