Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on this pub. Praise centers on the pool and live music, which one group calls a brilliant atmosphere with friendly clientele. Another calls it a great sports bar with surprisingly good beer. One finds the lovely building very tired inside and only fine for a quick drink, and another describes a doorman as quite rude about dogs in the beer garden.

“It's ok for a quick drink but not the best pub in the area in my opinion. Lovely building but very tired on the inside and could do with a refurb.”

“Great sports bar with surprisingly good beer 😋”

“Had a fantastic evening with a group of male friends and family. Did the same 2 years ago. The second time was just as good. Brilliant atmosphere, and friendly clientele. Pool and live music. What more do you need.”
- James Mochrie
“A rather indifferent experience compared to a few other bars in town. Doorman we're acting pretty strange and ar times quite rude regarding dogs in beer garden. Plenty of other beer gardens in town.”
