Very loud, student-type pub later on a Friday evening, although it might be quite different earlier in the day / week? Anyway, it has a partly opened-out, L-shaped layout under a high ceiling. For what I could see in the gloom, it appeared to have a mix of semi-traditional and semi-modern features, and some outside seating is also available on one side of this corner building. A slight surprise is that it has three handpumps on the counter and a bigger surprise is that two of these were actually working; furthermore one of these produced a very respectable pint of Harvey's (£3.95), with Doom Bar available on the other.
