Medium sized Gay friendly corner bar that was formerly known as the Courtyard.

The bar has an S shaped wooden bar and a stone floor, that has a nice mosaic pattern.

There is plenty of comfortable lounge type seating throughout with some high chairs next to the bar.

The decor is very modern with a mixture of red, blue and mustard colours.

There is nice ornate lighting fixtures on the walls and spotlighting to the ceiling.

The bar is very bright and airy with shuttered windows to the front, which are usually open in fine weather.

Regular music is on play at most times with a DJ a regular feature at weekends. There are several games machines on display.

The pub is very popular and busy on most nights, especially at the weekend.

It is mainly frequented by primarily the younger gay clientele at the weekend, but is attracting a mixed crowd through the week due to its location.

There is a large outside seating area with wooden chairs and metallic tables that is now open.

The bar has air conditioning throughout.

Upstairs there is "Oscar's" bar which is open on certain nights and also attracts a steady gay clientele.

Disabled access to main bar very good with a designated disabled toilet to the rear. Toilets are small and clean.

Price: Moderate.
