Interesting pub with real ales and lager. Live music occasionally, background music and TV screens for sport.
Dropped in for a quick pint. Was ok. Love that it's community run, but beer choice wasnt great. Nice place, nice customers. Nice staff.
Old school back street pub. Was fantastic in its Tetley's days. It's repositioned itself since and caters for the trendier set, students and younger drinkers. And it was nice to see them coming in on a Tuesday night. Bonus point for Red Stripe on tap.
Great atmosphere, excellent selection of real ale, gins and shorts. Outdoor heated and covered smoking area. Very nice
Great pub with good live music at weekends
