  “UPDATED 01.06.2026 I went to see a gig at the Deaf Institute on Sunday 26th April at 7pm and was going to call in. But you were shut, all lights off, but your opening hours said you were open on Sundays. Was just querying if you was still open because I regularly go to the Deaf Institute and wanted to call before. Don't know why all the ???? --- Closed tonight, has it shut down? Can't find anything online.”

  “Extremely rude staff. Made me feel uncomfortable being here. I would not recommend here to anybody. Sticky floors, flies everywhere, and unclean toilets. Also expensive for a student bar. Should avoid”

  “Manager was so rude, brought 20+ people in before a gig across the road and when I ordered a Guinness, I explained I was in a rush , she let it sit as normal… I asked as it’d settled for a while, could she top it up as I said I was in a rush, she explained she was training someone… I said that’s fine sorry if I came across as an arse, she said you did and I explained I wasn’t being rude I was just short of time, I got a mouth full…. Should not be customer facing, just a very rude aggressive woman. Never going in again Loved the response 😆 my point was a wasn’t being an arse, she purposely left me waiting because I said I was in a bit of a rush… she wasn’t training anyone with our drinks, just general training and she wasn’t rude because she could be. Think you’ve over empowered your staff …. Not great reviews lately”

  “I’ve been coming here every Saturday for the past four years after playing football with friends. We regularly stay for drinks, play pool, and join the music bingo. We’ve always had a good experience — until last Saturday. A new staff member treated me in a completely unacceptable and aggressive manner. I had left my ID at the bar as a deposit for the pool cues. While calmly waiting for my turn, she suddenly snatched the cue out of my hands without any warning and spoke to me in a hostile, confrontational way. There was clearly a misunderstanding between staff, as another employee appeared moments later with my ID. Despite this, her behaviour escalated — she threw my driving licence onto the pool table, continued being aggressive, and when I tried to speak to someone in charge, she physically pushed me and shouted at me to leave and kept yelling “I am the boss”. This is not just poor service — it is completely disrespectful and unacceptable behaviour. No customer should be treated this way under any circumstances. We have been loyal customers for years, but this experience left all of us shocked and uncomfortable. Management seriously needs to address this.”

  “A lot of reviews seem to talk about poor/rude service. I don't know about the management, but the girls behind the bar couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. They don't serve food but were more than happy for me to bring in food from elsewhere. Would definitely return next time I'm in the area.”

  “I went for the quiz which was actually quite enjoyable and most of the the staff were very nice. However one man behind the bar was very insistent on me and my friend buying doubles because "it's only a pound extra". I completely understand staff trying to upsell, since I have worked in hospitality myself, but after a few back and fourths of me repeatedly saying no I still watched him pour two doubles, it was very obvious as the spirit being poured was on the optic. After being ignored I didn't feel comfortable questioning that I had just watched him pour the doubles, so I just paid and didn't drink it. Maybe he thought he was being kind by giving me more than I asked for, which it might have been if he let me know that he actually had given me doubles, but he did not, which made me feel like he was trying to get me drunker than I wanted to be. Unfortunately as much as I did enjoy the quiz, I will not be returning because it made me feel unsafe, especially as a woman drinking in a bar. I felt uncomfortable and for the rest of the night I didn't want to return to bar for another drink. I want to trust that staff in a pub will give me the order that I have asked for and not make those decisions for me, it comes across as creepy. Luckily I was sober enough and vigilant enough to keep an eye out but I do worry that some young girls, in this student area especially, would not be as vigilant as me, which may turn out badly for them if they're not aware of how much alcohol they are actually being given.”

  “Had a terrible experience! I have been going for over a decade. New management has been in for a few months, have been going most weeks to be supportive of my local business despite the massive price hikes. Bar staff were rude and the manager down right abusive as a local guide I would recommend to avoid until they improve their outlook on how to run a pub.”

  “Good pub we stumbled on here. Decent size, they have pool and darts, sport on the tv. Prices weren’t to bad, good selection of drinks. Dog friendly, which is always a bonus. Staff were great, decent atmosphere. Seem to have a club in the back but I never had a look.”

  “Strongbow cider just gained a new fan. Got to this place around 3:30 on a Tuesday and it’s pretty empty, but that’s ok because we enjoyed the drink and relaxation.”

  “Nice place. Good choice to chat with friends and drink a little bit. when I came there, the bartender was kind if cute. and extremely patient and friendly. Can't give a coment about the cocktails coz I am not an expert ;-) But the atomsphere is great, maybe for young people.”
