The Victoria Lounge Bar certainly is a lounge with raised seating to along the right wall and a bar along the front left facing rearwards to some tables and chairs. By the entrance is a food serving counter, but there was no sign of any food during my recent early evening midweek visit. A television was showing muted news and some low background music played. Standard keg was available and five of the six hand pumps were in operation drawing Brain’s Rev James, Cross Bay’s Night of the Living Red, Ossett’s White Rat, Salopian’s Oracle and Bass. I found it a bit stuffy in here so don’t plan on returning.

The external appearance is of a Working Mens Club and the large internal space much the same with it's lack of natural light.Internal doors are mirrored which helps a little but the lights have to be on all day as there are no windows.The entrance to the members only Reardon Snooker Club is well marked.The open plan main room has a raised seating gallery to the left and a raised dining area to the right.Sadly a large flatscreen was playing daytime TV at some volume and the few punters inside were all transfixed by the awful programming,which dominated the atmosphere.
A large variety of food is served with some very good value dishes but cooking smells will waft into the main room.Decoration is neat and tidy but with many red sofas dotted about it does feel like Gods waiting room.
The bar has 6 handpumps offering on my trip Sharp's Doom Bar and Atlantic,Hobgoblin and Bass with I assume guests of GunDog Yankee Poodle and Salopian Oracle,in very good nick and no doubt the reason for its GBG listing.Oracle apart that's a dull line up.
Worth including on a crawl but I can't imaging wanting to stay here for a long session,it's all too downbeat and may suit the very elderly much better.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Victoria Lounge Bar
Looks like a very dull club from outside, so the attractive split-level interior comes as a very pleasant surprise. Traditionally furnished and decorated throughout, it obviously appeals to the older clientele unmoved by Hanley's other delights (but is none the worse for that). The external appearance isn't wholly deceptive either, since doors in the bar lead through to the associated snooker club. Six real ales on handpump, ranging from Bass and Rev James through beers from Castle Rock, Oakham and Salopian to the Staffordshire Rudyard Ruby ale (£3.10).
