Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the live bands on Saturday evenings, which several describe as free and excellent, with one saying they would even pay a small entrance fee to keep them coming. Close behind is the friendly bar staff and owner, and the welcoming atmosphere that one football-watching visitor from out of town also mentions. Others describe a basic, not fancy pub with pool, darts and sport on the television, clean and tidy, with three draught beers, no real ale and no food. A Thursday night was described as quiet. The caveat is the service, which two reviewers rate at one star. One calls the barmaid miserable and the hospitality a joke, and another says a man behind the bar poured pints badly and was in the wrong job. One reviewer adds that the pub looks closed from the outside and suggests trying the door.

“Nice wee pub with friendly atmosphere. Free entertainment with live bands playing most Saturday evenings. Hope this keeps going but would even pay a small entrance fee to keep the bands coming. Friendly owner and bar staff. What more do you need for a local night out.”

“Sunday football (Chelsea Liverpool final) drove up from London early for work on the Monday evening so we popped in to watch the game and have a few. Got a nice reception from the staff and everyone one else. Had a great evening and a memorable one too. Thanks to everyone for making us welcome”
