This is the kind of pub, where you come to relax and have a chat and a- really good- pint with a few friends without having to worry about posers. The chairs are comfortable and I've never seen the bar that busy that it would feel in any way crowded. A good place to meet up with friends or start off a night out.

Seriously, dare you to try, 9 weird ass drinks and he'll know the order exact. You wouldnt guess it but they squish a band in there every Friday and Saturday - every Weekend, perched up at the end of the bar and the crowd love it. When I first happened upon the place I pulled up a stool and sat next to the bass player. There may or may not have been footsies. Genuinely fun atmosphere in the weekend, give it a go!
