Good to find this pub (dwarfed by the original Curzon Street station) accessible. Choice of 7 cask ales & 1 cider on today. Be sure to check out the historic rooms towards the back of the pub.

Lovely old survivor hanging on in redevelopment area. Tricky to access at present owing to road works. Well worth the effort. Many beers on hand pumps, several rooms. Close to Museum and University.

This an amazing traditional boozer, which is a little piece of history with much more modern surroundings, including what will be the HS2 Curzon St Station. My main aim of the visit was to try the draught Bass at the reopening in September 2024. Bass was never sold at the pub before owing to it being an Ansell’s pub. The Bass was first class and there was a great & friendly atmosphere throughout.

My wife and I visited one Sunday early afternoon. We were aware the pub had been recently renovated and reopened. What’s a fantastic renovation. The front bar is a beauty to behold, like the rest of the pub, it has been renovated to highlight the original features when the place was first opened in 1897. Physically a great success. We had a traditional roast beef and Yorkshire pudding accompanied by Bass and red wine. Service, beer, good, atmosphere and a wonderful building. Everything is here and we recommend.

This is a fantastic pub, and clearly the lower ratings are undeserved/false. Fantastic selection of real ales, a lovingly restored tiled pub with outdoor seating area. I didn't try the food but the menu looked good. Go for the real ale, stay for the genuine vibe.

So happy this friendly pub has reopened!🍻 Great pub with 10 hand pumps of various ales/beers. As before, they have a range of whiskies and now a new wine list. New food menu (yet to try) of pies and pizza, too! Decent beer garden.

Good to see the Woodman open again. Good selection of ales and great service. Don't get put off by the building work nearby (HS2), it's less than a 10 minutes walk from Moor Street station.
