A great pub for locals and new visitors. Varied live music on offer. Fab bar staff, good drinks at great prices.
Only went in there to meet my friend, he's a merchant from Venice on his twelfth night over here. I was smoking a hamlet and still didn't get bard. To pee or not to pee? They have toilets. You'll have a great night in there, it's like a midsummer's night's dream and all's well that ends well
Music extremely loud and busy pool table
Went there with my friends female bartender was very unfriendly and abbrupt was greeted with “what are yous doing here” from the owner of the pub. Some of my friends wanted drinks and two of the others didn’t because they don’t drink and they got told to leave and they couldn’t stay with us because “it’s not a waiting room”. This place needs closing down or new staff.
Proper drinkers pub. Pool tables, sports TV, jukebox, and leaves you in no doubt as to which excellent football team they support 👍
