Review:  


Large modern Sports Bar that has been voted overall i Best Bar None winner for 2006. The pub has two floors with the main emphasis being on sport. With the bar being so close to the St James Park football ground it has become a popular attraction especially on match days. There is an abundance of seating throughout with tables and chairs in every area upstairs and down to cater for the lunchtime diners. The bar is smartly decked out with wooden panelling and brick walls that are adorned by sporting pictures.

The pub is bright and airy with large windows to the front and wooden blinds. The downstairs level has a long bar with a part carpeted and wooden floor. There is pipe-work interlaced in the ceiling and smart low down drop lighting. The upstairs is accessed by two large staircases at either end of the bar. On this level there is a further bar with shelving and high stools that run along the length of the window. There is also additional seating and the decor is mainly the same as downstairs.

Live sports including live football matches are shown on a several widescreen TV's that are located on both levels. Forthcoming matches and sporting events are advertised in the bar. Regular music is on play at all times. There are some games machines dotted about the bar. The pub is very busy at all times attracting a mixed clientele of locals, business people, football crowd and shoppers. it is particularly busy on match days given its sporting theme and position. Fluid parties can be arranged for between 20 to 500 persons in a reserved area or entire room. Contact the bar for further details.

Disabled access is very good with a designated disabled toilet located next to the main bar. Toilets can be accessed downstairs from the main bar and there are further toilets on the upper level. They are small and clean and in good order.
