Friday night 2/5/25 .I was refused entry by the door man .because apparently I was too intoxicated???? I'm in my 60s and never in my life have I had this done to me before.nor was I too drunk.😡
City centre pub with a local village pub atmosphere. Visited at the weekend so I have no idea about week days. Lively with karaoke and a few characters to boot. Not a dress up place but a down to earth experience with great service and a fine selection of beers.
I always enjoy it in here. If you like a pub where it is anything goes karaoke then this pub is for you. Very much a spit and sawdust environment but that is part of the charm. A place where you can really people watch is there is every kind of person in there. So always amusing and karaoke 7 nights a week.
