Review:  


Very popular modern bar on two levels. The bar that was formerly named Huxters and more recently Stepps has been given a more modern upgrade. The main bar downstairs has numerous TV's with a large drop down screen for Live sporting events. There are a number of TV's also on show showing sport with even a TV in the toilet, guaranteeing you do not miss any of the sporting action.

There is plenty of seating with three leather backed booths downstairs and a number of high table and chairs and leather settees. Upstairs there is a small bar that is open till 3pm every day and also later in the evening. This area has plenty of seating with tables and chairs for diners and more comfortable leather settees. The decor is a mixture of brown and cream colours with spotlighting to the ceiling.

Regular music is on play at most times with a DJ a regular feature on certain nights. Every Friday & Saturday 7pm - 11pm DJ Gazza with drinks promos and giveaways. The pub is normally packed at lunchtime with shoppers and business people. Bookings for party's available. Hire a private sports lounge at £9.95 per person. The bar attracts a mixed clientele of shoppers, diners and sporting enthusiasts. It can get very busy at times especially at lunchtime and at weekends and is especially busy on match days.

Disabled access can be difficult as steps at the main entrance. Toilets are small and clean.



Price: Moderate during the week. More expensive at the weekend.
