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.
