πŸ”₯🍻🍺🍹πŸ₯ƒπŸ₯‚πŸ»πŸ”₯ This place was taken over the other week (14th May 2025), and I pop in the following Friday and wow, just wow. The place looked and smelled clean. The toilet was all nice and clean (the gents), so the women's must have been. I most all the seat was fixed in the booth. The beer all tastes nice and fresh I recommend the Stella, lovely pint πŸ‘Œ. I can't wait to see what upcoming events they have planned. Watch this space and hope to see you down there. πŸ”₯🍻🍺πŸ₯‚πŸ₯ƒπŸΉπŸ»πŸ”₯

Another great night at the 80s disco down The Bell, lots of dancing, laughter and a great atmosphere. We are always welcomed by Jacqui and Gary the landlords and can't wait for their next event. Would definitely recommend for a good night out.
