Much more pub-like now, with good quality floor boards exposed, wood panelling on the walls painted in olive drab and multi-coloured stained but unfinished wood on the ceiling and bar counter. Seating mostly in booths plus a few high tables. Two hand pumps partly hidden by a pillar, with beers fromlocal Gan Yam and the rather more distant Front Row (Stoke on Trent). My half of the latter's Try was pretty good, a mid-brown bitter (NBSS 3.5) with a subtle finish. Some pretty decent background music was playing, so this was a pleasant revisit to a pub that I used to call into after work two or three times a week in the early 80s.

there's nothing especially wrong with this place, it's perfectly fine for a pint especially if you're staying the night here. but it's a bland hotel bar at the end of the day and has no pub atmosphere at all.
