Review:  


Large bar that was formerly known as FM's and now has a more traditional look. The bar has 2 levels upstairs with the Basement Trebles bar now located downstairs. There are stairs and a lift to all main floors. There is plenty of seating on all levels with wooden benches by the windows and tables and chairs.

The main bar is on the first floor and there is a further smaller bar upstairs which is open when it is busy. The upstairs bar on the second level has further seating with high tables and chairs and more seating by the windows. A function suite is available free for parties of 250 persons in the upstairs room. Buffets can be requested - ask at bar for details. Cash back facility available.

The bar is decked out tastefully and has mainly wooden fitments throughout with old portraits of elder statesmen on the walls. The lighting is subdued in the evening giving the place a cosy feel. From the upstairs levels there are good views of Grey's monument. There are several widescreen TV's dotted throughout the bar with music videos and Live Sports shown.

The bar is mainly frequented by locals, students, shoppers and business people. It is very popular at all times, especially at weekends and with the student crowd. It makes an ideal meeting place for the football crowd on match days. The range of meals also make it very busy on a lunchtime. A small outside seating area is open in fine weather with waiter service. No children allowed.

Disabled access very good as a lift is available to all floors. Toilets are small and clean.





Price:
Moderate.
