The first floor has a small lounge area with comfortable leather seating and there is plenty of standing space near to the bar with some high chairs and tables. There is a large dining area at the rear with intimate booths.
There is a heavy sporting theme throughout with hundreds of sporting pictures on the walls with numerous signed shirts from sporting celebrities (Roberto Carlos & Fernando Alonso to name a few).

The ground floor is usually open from 7pm or when the bar is busy and serves as the night club. The
bar has spotlighting throughout
