BAR RATING & SUMMARY

Laarsen's is a once-traditional pub that has benefited from a new owner and new style. Now a modern bar rather than a pub, selling a wide range of beers and designer drinks, with lounge seating, chill-out areas and funky music. Attracting a young to middle-aged crowd, this bar is aiming itself at local business people and Basingstoke's stylish set. The manager is also an accomplished chef and is working on making the restaurant a big feature with plenty of innovative fresh food. Hang out here with friends and listen to the DJ playing R'n'B from Thursday to Saturday.
