Review:
Medium sized pub with
a long bar and a wooden floor.
The pub has recently been refurbished with a new extension to the right of the bar
and an outside terrace upstairs. There are two entrances to the front and side.
With the additional space created by the extension there is plenty of seating with tables and
chairs up one side with high backed leather seating
in the corner. This leads through to a raised area
at the rear with further seating. The upstairs terrace is accessed by a flight of stairs to the rear.
The decor is a
mixture of dark green colours with a wooden floor throughout. The pub has a
bright and airy feel during the day with large
windows to the front and side, and at night the low
down drop lighting over the bar and modern
spotlighting gives a more cosy intimate atmosphere.
The bar attracts a steady crowd of locals and
students and is busy at most times. There is regular
music on play with three juke boxes. A DJ is a regular feature on most nights and is
housed at the rear of the pub. There are two TV's to the
front and one situated at the rear. Live Music on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Air conditioning
throughout with ceiling fans used at certain times. Sunday quiz night from 8.30pm.
Disabled access is reasonable. The toilets at either
side of the bar are small and
clean.
Price:
Moderate.
