Review:  


Medium sized 90's revival bar with a bright modern colour scheme throughout and a heavily based 90's theme. The pub has recently moved forward a decade from an eighties to a nineties bar.  The decor is a mixture of pastel colours and there is a flashing lighting system throughout.

There is a long bar to the right of the main entrance. The main bar area has limited seating to the front with plenty of standing space. This leads through to two smaller areas at the side and rear of the pub. The side area has  some additional standing space, and to the rear there is a raised area with a large floor space and some tables and chairs. The DJ is also housed in this area, which is mainly used as a dance floor.

There is regular 90's music on play at most times giving a lively party atmosphere. Around the walls there are hundreds of compact discs with various other music memorabilia of the 90's. Several TV's are to be found behind and opposite to the bar with some games machines dotted about. The pub is very busy at the weekend and can also be busy later on in the evening throughout the week. It attracts a young crowd or those stuck in a 90's time warp rekindling their lost youth. It is also a good stopping off point on the way to the Bigg Market.

Disabled access is very good to the main bar and there is also a disabled toilet situated in an area to the side of the pub. Ask at the bar for the key. Toilets are small and in a reasonable condition.

Moderate.
