Interior as described below with iron maiden memorabilia on the walls. Standard draught selection.

This is a single room pub with a bar stocked with standard draught products running along the back wall. It was empty during my recent weekday afternoon visit apart from a couple of lads playing on the pool table in the centre of the room and the barmaid who was on her hands and knees scrubbing the bar stool legs. Once she was behind the bar she was polite and served me a decent pint of Guinness which I enjoyed sitting at one of the tables that line the exterior of the pub. I counted four screens for showing Sky Sports and there is also a projector and an old sign is still in the window boasting that this was one of the first pubs to ever show 3D football. There is also a stage area for the live music on Friday and Saturday nights and the karaoke on Sundays and I imagine that there is a late license on all three nights. On the edge of the stage a remark is made about this being the birthplace of Iron Maiden and it does appear that they played here several times in 1976 and this was the first pub to have them as a regular band. This place probably comes to life at the weekends or when there is football on, but I doubt that I will be returning any time soon.
