The best pubs Jersey

The Troubadour is a nice pub that is hard to miss once you've set foot in Jersey. In fact, when the weather is nice, its huge terrace that stretches over the whole central square (the one you see when you get off the ferry) is unmissable! Inside, we do in the classic: wood, bar seats, televisions for the sport and dozens of beers on tap and in bottles. It's the perfect place to enjoy the last rays of the setting sun. We love it... when the weather is nice!

The Trafalgar Inn is a small pub well placed at the intersection of High Street (the main street of Saint-Aubin) and the Saint-Aubin road (which leads out of the village). It's a typical place with a relaxed atmosphere that is perfect for a rainy afternoon with a beer in hand. Although the owner can be a bit grumpy, the atmosphere around the pool table can be nice... And it goes up a notch during the evenings when bands are playing or when there is a soccer game on the screens of the establishment.

A pub styled in light, contemporary tones, with an attractive mezzanine. It's the perfect place to relax or enjoy a late afternoon drink. You'll find a lot of islanders coming here after work, so it's a relaxed place to enjoy an aperitif. The atmosphere goes up a notch at soccer matches, but especially at the final whistle, when Jersey's youngsters come to sway to the sounds of the DJ or live bands, for one of the best atmospheres on the island.

In the Havre des Pas, the pubs are not legion. It is so much better for the residents because these last ones can sometimes generate a certain number of decibels. Fortunately for us, we can find this bar of princes which differs a little from this type of places thanks to its terrace, its evenings "open mic", its karaokés, its evenings bingo, its quizzes, its charity evenings. With its situation, it is moreover a perfect place to decompress after a beautiful day of beach and to refresh itself after a small session of bronzing.

The main attraction of this small pub seems to be, in the evening, the electronic jukebox and during the day its beautiful terrace which stretches next to the famous shopping street of Saint-Hélier. It goes without saying that we recommend it for the days of good weather when the terrace is open because, the evening, our musical tastes are not referenced... We like it during the day and we are not the only ones: on Saturdays and Sundays, it is the meeting point of the families who come to stroll on Queen Street and make a shopping session

The Office is a small wooded and traditional pub located in a street adjacent to the port. Very well located in the center of Saint-Hélier, it offers nothing but a relaxed atmosphere, a regular and rather male clientele, themed evenings (live music or karaoke on Friday and Sunday evenings), darts games and the eternal TV screens for the broadcasting of (many) soccer matches. The bar is always full and attracts mostly locals from mid-afternoon

The Forum is a traditional English pub like you can find hundreds of them in Jersey, with its wooden furniture, its televisions to watch Premier League and Champions League matches, its pool table, its dart board, its juke-box and its slightly red-headed regulars. Nothing very original then. But, a little plus here, there is a very good selection of beers and especially a house beer (Forum Finest): a 4.2% ale, very good and very refreshing. We go there especially for that, we must admit it. Cheers!

It's hard not to see this nice little pub since it's located on the parking lot and thus at the entrance of the path that leaves for the very touristy Devil's Hole. It is therefore an ideal place for a cool break, especially since it has set up a place dedicated to children, the "Little Devils Play Area" where they can scream at will. The establishment is very popular with the locals for Sunday brunches in particular. It must be said that it is well known since it is one of the oldest inns on the island.

The Saint Lawrence is a small, traditional, family-run pub right in the heart of the eponymous village: it didn't take much to lure us in on a late afternoon. And in terms of decor and atmosphere, it's all there. We love it, especially the little patio hidden away at the back of the establishment. And we're obviously not the only ones, as the place is often fully booked for dinner (it's not very big either). A nice stop-off on the way back from a walk to Saint-Hélier.

The Cock & Bottle is unquestionably one of the city's best pubs. Not for the quality of its food, but for its airy ambience in summer (the place boasts a magnificent terrace) and its cosy atmosphere in winter (inside, warm by the fire, in an ambiance so typical of English pubs). We love the promptness of the staff and the colors, especially at sunset. A fine address in Saint-Hélier, ideal for watching time go by or rounding off a good day's walking.
