Clockhouse, York

A large estate deco style pub on a roundabout a little to the south of Acomb. The last time I tried to visit it was closed and had builders doing something. This time I feared the same but found a door open, it was dark and quiet so I thought I was going to meet a builder but there was just an old bloke drinking John Smiths Smooth and a distracted barmaid in a second bar. The interior is semi circular with a large pool room in the left quadrant with four tables and access to a counter, the right segment has tall table seating, two darts boards and a big screen then further round clockwise past an unused counter is a fairly blank space with another pool table and the main counter. Leatherette banquettes with a couple of tables plus more high seating its not the most comfy of spaces. Decor here is large murals of sporting heroes and a racing Ferrari, there’s also a big screen, not sure why there are two gents toilets in a vestibule off here which also houses a games machine. The main counter serves a normal range of UK kegs on three T-bars and three solos, the servery serves the pool room as well. After a while the barmaid decided it was too quiet and put some music on, she really shouldn’t have.
