The Pour House

The Pour House Not just somewhere to drink, somewhere to belong. Come with a crowd or turn up on your own - you'll find your people.

There's 130+ rotating beers, real ales, ciders, wines, spirits and the smallest beer garden in Devizes to enjoy while you're at it 🍺

Seeing as we've all made it through a pretty tough week - we thought that we'd bring you 5 fun facts about Friday - one is actually true.

Can you spot it?

1. Friday was originally only 19 hours long, but was extended in 1847 because landlords complained there wasn’t enough drinking time.

2. The word Friday comes from the Old English Frīgedæg, meaning “day of Frigg”, named after a Germanic goddess.

3. Until 1973, pubs in Wiltshire were legally required to keep one chair empty on a Friday in case the Mayor came in.

4. The phrase “Thank God it’s Friday” was invented by a bloke called Colin from Swindon in 1962 after an unusually difficult week at the carpet factory.

5. Scientists have proved that a pint consumed after 4pm on a Friday contains 17% fewer calories because your body knows it’s the weekend.

There you go.

Fun & educational content.

Sort of.

Tell us which one you think is true. No Googling. We will know.

Open 12–9pm today.

Which, coincidentally, is also true.

See you later

MENOPAUSE UNFILTERED. TONIGHT AT 7PM IN THE CELLAR BAR❤️

Struggling with menopause? Fed up with trying to work out what’s normal, what’s not and where you left your brain?

This isn’t a moaning club (although the occasional rant is perfectly acceptable!). We’re about positive but realistic support, practical tools, shared experiences and helping each other navigate the madness.

No judgement. No pressure. No pretending everything’s wonderful when it isn’t.

Just honest conversations, a bit of laughter and hopefully some useful things to take away.

Come on your own or bring a friend. Everyone navigating any stage of menopause is welcome.

🍺 And upstairs? The main bar is open as usual from 4pm to 9pm for your Friday rehearsal session.

Because it’s never too early to start practising for the weekend!

TODAY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE REAL POUR HOUSE SUPERHERO. 🦸‍♀️

It’s Lian’s birthday. ❤️

Now, we know what some of you are thinking.

Lian? She doesn't do anything

Because most of the time you see her, she’s on the wrong side of the bar, drinking something and giving somebody grief.

But appearances can be deceptive.

She’s the one who paints the floors.

Scrubs the cellar.

Moves the furniture.

And when a job requires a boiler suit, mask, gloves and the words “this is going to be horrible”, somehow Lian ends up doing it.

Funny that.

She’s been there through all of Sarah’s “I’ve had an idea…” moments and has learned, presumably through bitter experience, that those five words rarely result in anything good for her.

So we think it’s fair to say she’s probably the closest thing The Pour House has to a superhero.

No cape.

Just a boiler suit, a slightly resigned expression and, shortly afterwards, a well-earned drink on the wrong side of the bar.

Thankfully, today she is several thousand miles away from the cellar, the paintbrushes and anything requiring heavy lifting, celebrating her birthday on a catamaran in Barbados. 🌴🍹

Happy Birthday, Lian. ❤️

For everything you do, including all the things nobody else particularly fancies doing, thank you.

The bar is open 4–9pm today, being ably looked after by people who have been specifically instructed not to find any jobs for Lian to do when she gets back.

SOMEHOW, THEY’RE GOING RUNNING AGAIN. 🏃‍♀️🍺

You’d think they might have had enough.

On Saturday, the Pour House Runners started the day at parkrun, pacing, running and volunteering.

Then, apparently deciding that wasn’t sufficient exercise for one day, they were back out again for the DOCA Devizes Colour Rush, running, getting comprehensively covered in coloured powder and, most importantly, supporting each other and a brilliant local event.

Look at them. ❤️

This is exactly what we love about this little group.

It started with some people meeting at a pub for a Wednesday evening 5K.

It’s become a proper little community.

And tonight, they’re doing it all over again.

Meet at The Pour House from 6pm. Run at 6.30pm. Rehydration afterwards.

New runners are always welcome, whatever your pace.

And if you look at these photos and think absolutely not, that’s fine too.

You are entirely welcome to sit in the bar with a drink and admire their enthusiasm from a safe distance.

The Pour House week starts here. Open 4–9pm.

The boss remains in Barbados and has once again declined to participate in the 5K - apparently the commute is too far 😎

DID YOU KNOW… WE’RE NOT JUST B**R? 👀

We know.

It literally says “Craft B**r & Gin Bar” on the front.

So we can probably take some responsibility for the confusion.

And yes, we have 13 keg lines, 2 cask ales, loads of c***r and a frankly ridiculous number of cans and bottles in the fridges.

We also have gin.

Quite a lot of gin, actually.

But you absolutely do NOT have to drink b**r OR gin to like The Pour House.

We’ve got w**e.
We’ve got spirits.
We’ve got fizz.
We’ve got c***r.
We’ve got soft drinks.
We’ve got a whole shelf in the fridge dedicated to alcohol-free.

And if you don’t know what you fancy, tell us what you normally drink and we’ll help you find something.

Because, despite what it says on the front, The Pour House isn’t really about what you drink.

It’s about having somewhere you can meet your mates, come in on your own, bring the dog, have a chat, discover something new or just sit down for an hour and let the world get on with itself.

B**r and gin just happen to be two of the things we’re rather good at.

Anyway, we’re closed today.

So this has basically been a very long way of saying:

Whatever you drink, we’ll see you from 4pm tomorrow. 🍺🍷🥂

The boss, meanwhile, remains in Barbados conducting extensive research into sitting down.

MONDAY. WE ARE CLOSED.

Not “maybe pop in and see”.

Not “someone might be knocking about”.

Closed closed. 🔒

The boss has buggered off to Barbados.

She actually left on Thursday, in case you hadn’t noticed, and reports from Devizes suggest the place is running suspiciously well without her.

We’re sure that’s entirely coincidental.

Anyway, while she’s lying on a sun lounger doing absolutely nothing useful, we thought we’d get organised and show you what’s coming up at The Pour House in October. 👇

And there’s plenty going on.

Even more alarmingly, we’re now officially on the countdown to Christmas. We’re not quite ready to discuss that yet, so let’s concentrate on October instead.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT DATE FOR YOUR DIARY, THOUGH…

🎂 Sunday 1 November: THE POUR HOUSE TURNS TWO!

Two whole years.

Obviously, we’re having a party, not in October, but we wanted to tell you about it early

Details will follow, but get it in the diary now because we intend to celebrate properly.

For now, have a nose through October, make some plans and we’ll see you when the doors reopen on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the boss remains on a sun lounger.

We’ll try not to disturb her.

And… relax. 🍺

The confetti has been swept up.

The colourful evidence has been cleaned off the bar.

Everything is more or less back where it belongs.

And what a brilliant day yesterday was. ❤️

We hope you had as much fun as we did.

But today?

Absolutely nothing is happening.

No running. No hooking. No meetings. No confetti. No coloured powder. No requirement to achieve anything whatsoever.

Next week can wait.

Today we have the far more important business of finishing the weekend properly.

Come in. Find a comfy seat. See what’s on the taps, find something interesting in the fridge, grab a glass of w**e or whatever takes your fancy and settle in.

Bring the dog. Bring a friend. Bring nobody at all.

There are no expectations here.

Just a nice, chilled Sunday at your favourite little bar before we all have to start being responsible again tomorrow.

The last week of September will still be there when we wake up.

Open 2–8pm.

See you at the bar. ❤️

TODAY’S THE DAY. 🌈🎉🍕

The DOCA Devizes Colour Rush & Confetti Battle is here!

And, thankfully, all that confetti made it successfully from the cellar bar into bags and is ready to do its actual job: raising much-needed funds for DOCA, the Winter Festival and the Fireworks Display.

So get yourselves into town, get involved and support it. ❤️

And because running around Devizes getting covered from head to toe in brightly coloured powder and then throwing confetti at each other is hungry work…

THE PIZZA TRUCK IS OPEN. 🍕

We’ll be firing up the ovens and serving pizzas from around 4pm until we sell out.

And based on previous pizza-related behaviour, that could be sooner than you think.

If you’re covered in colour from the Colour Rush, don’t worry. Come on in.

If you’re covered in confetti, give yourself a good shake first… then come on in.

If you’ve avoided both entirely and have simply decided that b**r and pizza sound like a better use of your Saturday, we respect your decision-making.

We’re here before, during and after all the madness, and we’d love to see you.

Come and support DOCA. Come and support your town. Come and eat pizza.

Preferably all three.

Bar open 12–9pm.

Pizzas from around 4pm until they’re gone.

Guilt free loos available all day - no spend required 😍

WEEKEND MODE: ACTIVATED. 🍺

Yes, we know it’s only 7.30 in the morning.

No, we don’t care.

As far as we’re concerned, the weekend starts here.

And Devizes has got a good one coming…

Tomorrow the town gets taken over by the Confetti Battle & Colour Rush, which means there will be colour, chaos, people having far too much fun and, we suspect, quite a few people wandering around looking like they’ve lost an argument with a rainbow. 🌈

Naturally, we’ve decided this requires pizza. 🍕

So yes, the rumours are true.

PIZZAS ARE BACK TOMORROW.

More details incoming, but consider that your advance warning to start making plans.

Before all that, though, there’s Friday.

The taps are ready.
The fridges are full.
The w**e cellar has been topped up.
Some old favourites have returned.
The weekend is waiting.

You just need to finish whatever responsible adult things you’re supposed to be doing first.

Sorry about that.

Open 12–9pm today.

See you at the bar. 🍺
