My first visit hear since meeting Alan here for a brief crawl nearly four years ago (see below). There were eight keg fonts and the same two hand pumps on the bar still, though thankfully they were not offering either Easy Rider or anything from Thornbridge. With a choice of a house beer from Abbeydale called The Beat Goes On 4.1% or a smoked porter from Ilkley, I went for the former. This was probably a mistake as, to judge by the abv and the blandness, this was probably just Deception rebadged. Ah well, we live and learn. I quite liked the lively cafe-bar atmosphere at the time of my visit, with a good soundtrack and a mixed clientele of student types, male and slightly predominantly female, plus a handful of blokes my age. The walls and pillars are painted a deep sea green and the tiled bar counter has the pub's name picked out in black letters on white tiles, which must come in handy at times.
