Review:
A magnificent Grade 1
listed building in the Central Station that has been
restored to its former glory as the first class
passenger waiting room. The pub
can
be accessed from the main station concourse or the
front entrance on Neville Street. The interior of
the bar is beautifully decked out with the original
ceramic tiling on the walls. At one end there is a
semi circular bar with high tables and chairs and a
spacious standing area around the side.
Two flaming
torches located in the middle of the bar lead
through to a large area with plenty of low level seating
available. There is also a conservatory area that
has additional seating for diners, that extends on
to the station concourse. A small lounge bar is also
located behind the main bar. This has small bar with
comfortable lounge seating and a small fireplace.
The high ornate 40ft high ceiling and glass sky
light give a spacious feel to the pub and there are
several large fans making it bright and airy. Live
sports including all live football is now shown on a
large drop down screen at
one end of the pub and there are 2 widescreen TV's
at either side of the bar. When sports are shown there is a
retractable canopy in the ceiling that closes to
remove any glare on the screen.
The pub is very
popular with the business crowd and rail commuters,
with people passing through. It can also get very
busy in the café bar area. Conference facilities in
4 rooms is now available. Live jazz entertainment is
a regular feature on a Tuesday, in a raised area
overlooking the bar.
Disabled access is excellent
and there is also baby changing facilities
available. Toilets are very smart and clean - ask
for the key at the bar.
