No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Madri, Level Head, strawberry & lime Rekorderlig cider, Pravha, Staro, Estrella, Coors, Aspall and the Tiny Dots pilsner and the Shape Shift pale ale both from Queer Brewing.
Newly reopened. the first-floor bar, the Shufflewick Bar, was open on my visit and it is a bare boarded affair with a tile skirt around the bar counter which is on the left-hand wall mid venue with some tall stool seating at the bar counter. Seating in the area to the left of the entrance is via some regular tables served by comfy velvet fabric armchairs and some carver chairs. There are regular tables down the right-hand wall to the rear with bucket armchairs either side thereof. The ground floor bar was closed on my visit and so I didn't get to look at that but suspect it is much larger and looks like it hosts regular entertainment.

I came here once to this famous gay venue in 1993. Not being gay, it was my sister's 21st and she likes this sort of thing.
All I can really remember is that it was more of a nightclub than pub on this Saturday evening so dancing wasn't for me.
An iconic venue, I hope that it can be saved.
