Depends what your after here. From the outside we expected an old style pub but upon entering it was more like a modernish lads bar. Lads in comfy clothes and gilets. Young groups of girls starting their night out.
Fantastic service, bar staff are fab!! All round good pub! Well worth a visit! Also featured in riot women!! 😊
Majority of people are very approachable, very friendly, never seen any trouble in the pu.\n B, and the landlord is very fair. The tallest are very very clea
Went in Saturday it’s as rough as a buzzards crotch. The lowest of the low and scallyfax’s roughest great unwashed and belcher Chain wearing Ming mongs drinking in there, and one of the doormen was collecting glasses and the other was learning to count to 3 on his toes. Some lads holding the toilet doors shut while they took there flu medicine via the nasal tubes don’t think I’ll be frequenting that establishment again!!!
Lovely local and good choose of beers friendly atmosphere good service
