    A funky pub with excellent friendly staff. A nice selection of ales, pool table, and a large beer garden to chill in too. Saw the 90's legend EASYGROOVE play there just a few months ago!! What a wicked vibe 🙌🙌🙌😍 Some amazing music events past and present! All different styles.... pop in to see what's going on and when 😊😉😊😉

    No frills pub with a great atmosphere, attracts the "alternative " crowd. Would have given it 5 stars but the range of alcohol free drinks is limited.

    First time there, the music done by a dj was a good rock selection something for everyone, from rock to metal. We really enjoyed it there. The DJ even played 2 of my husbands requests. Bonus also is that its a 2 minute walk to the train station from there. We will definitely be going back 😊

    Great pub. One of the few places keeping the local music scene alive. Well priced drinks and good food. Amazingly interesting people there too!

    Decent vibe. Nice staff. Pool table and big smoking area. DJ was ok until someone messed up his laptop on the night I went.

    Best barman ever! Amazing atmosphere enty of events on the week end and a super smoking area out the back with couches and shelter just awsome place to have a few pints!

  • 1/5 Matthew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Feels so rundown and tacky. Expensive. For a new place it OK if you wanna get stoned as people openly smoking green and talking about it will not be returning
