This is a large pub on one of the main roads skirting around the town centre, that’s been given a modern refit which seems to have robbed the place of its identity. The left half of the building was operating as a pub on my Saturday evening visit, with tile flooring and plain coloured walls and ceiling through a large open-plan space. The bar is over to the right and has a plain wooden counter and rustic looking bar back, with a large space opposite partially filled with a mix of high tables and stools and some standard tables and chairs. The room opens out beyond this, as you take a single step up to the left-hand side of the room which has been left pretty much empty and acts as a dancefloor of sorts, with the seating dotted sparingly around the room under dark painted walls and some interesting brewery paintings. This side of the room was being used for karaoke when I visited, with TV screens showing live footage of the ‘performers’, just in case you’re desperate to view the action whilst facing the other way. More seating can be found in a space to the rear of the bar and there was loads more through into the right-hand half of the building, in what looked to be a deserted dining room – whether this ever gets opened up, I could not say.
As in the previous pub I’d visited, there were four handpulls here, none of which were operational, so I once again found myself with a Guinness Extra Cold, which was the best of a very bad bunch of global keg brands. There was a very strange vibe in here and at one point I found myself the only person at the bar not wearing fancy dress, so I downed my drink, cursed my poor judgement in coming here, and headed off as quick as I could.
I’ve no idea who this pub is aimed at – on approach, it looks like it’s going to be a modern dining pub, and a glance through the window to the dining room reinforces this idea, but once inside, it was a soulless, tacky party venue with no decent beer and no real redeeming features. A blot on my crawl around Warrington – stick to the nearby Tavern or Bull’s Head instead.

This place has improved immensely. Where it used to be a totally nondescript place this seems to have had a name change and new life thrust upon it. There are now 6 very welcome handpulls, so your beer choice is not just the universal fizzcrap of old. I was informed that the lot that own the 9 Gallon place also have here now. I'm not particularly enamored with Warrington town centre so this is one of the better places.

7/1/15:
Not good. Not Bad. Just... there.
