Basement bar that is smartly decorated throughout and is full of character. From the main entrance stairs lead down to a small bar area with lounge seating and some small booths. This leads through to a much larger lounge bar area with plenty of small cosy seating areas. There is also additional high seating around the interior of the bar. The bar is long and has various quotations imprinted on the coloured panels. There is a superb modern changeable lighting system throughout that gives a much brighter feel to the place.

The decor is primarily of red and green colours and there is smart wooden panelling with a mosaic design on the walls. The bar is fully carpeted with an excellent air conditioning throughout. Regular music is on play at most times and there is a wide screen TV located in the lounge area. The pub is frequented by a mixed clientele with business crowd, shoppers and people on nights out. It can get busy at most times being in a central position and is especially popular with the young crowd at weekends, when there is sometimes a queue to get in. Cash back facility available.

Disabled access difficult as the bar is accessed down a flight of stairs. Toilets are small and very smart.
 

Price: Reasonable. More expensive at weekends.
