Quite agree with Roger below. An awful pub. I didn't like these when I was of an age to go in them and I like them less now. Happily I was the first customer so the music was listenable to. Two barstaff playing table tennis proved a welcome distraction.

Ah the 80's, a decade I mostly missed through inebriation. A time when the Barclays Premiership was just Division 1, CD's were the next big thing and no-one would dare to admit watching ballroom dancing. As it happens most of the people I encountered in here on my visit wouldn't remember the 80's if you hit them on the head with a Rubik Cube. This is not a place for a quiet beer and a chat (for beer read lager). This is a place where the girls go to dance and the fellers go to watch the girls who go to dance. If your 80's consisted of sweaty nights at the Marquee watching the delights of prog rock and the evolution of death metal then you should avoid at all costs. If your tastes are more Wham!, Witney and clapping along to Radio Ga Ga then dig out that old Frankie Says T-Shirt, join the lengthy queue outside and prepare to be mightily impressed by the tackiness. You can even save yourself £2 by taking along your own inflatable guitar providing the doormen don't confiscate it first. The one certain thing is that you will leave with perforated ear drums, burnt retinas, a blinding headache and a dented wallet.
