Fantastic place. I would highly recommend this PH. Great atmosphere, fantastic cheap beer. Lots of really good turns on every week. Very popular on a Wednesday as turns on and Kareoke afterwards. Very lively on a weekend. Bar staff are not too bad either, lol.
Wonderful staff. perfect alcoholic beverages. Great entertainment. What more do you need. Also great cocktails and slushies. Dart board pool table quiz machine and a bandit.
Not a bad town pub and is usually lively over the weekend. It can get a bit full and take time to get a beer. It, unfortunately, also attracts a varity of clientele which can be a little uncomfortable when you are pushed and shoved around. We usually go in earlier to avoid this.. Not one I would avoid and always one for the route
