Old Boots left this review about Walkabout

My first visit I believe to one of these “Aussie” themed bars, I suppose they’re all much the same so probably no reason to repeat the ghastly experience. It is located in a nice Victorian building with a neat but messed up ceiling. A grim, bland place with a lot of screens, the bank of ten over the bar back were showing a composite of what I took to be Australian scenes mostly of the seaside. Other screens had various sports. Beer choice strictly limited to the low end kegs and there were a lot of brightly coloured spirits behind. Quiet when I popped in with just a few old blokes in situ then a group of thirty something “lads” arrived, on the piss no doubt. As a venue of choice? I don’t think so.

Al Bundy left this review about Yates's

As with the other Yates's in the city centre this another Wethers wannabe. There were 3 handpumps serving a bog standard choice of ales. Large mostly open plan there was an upstairs bit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Yates's

One of two Yates's bars in the city, this one is a conversion of quite a grand building. Sadly, the interior - comprising a large, square bar with various different seating areas, plus a separate mezzanine bar - isn't as well looked after as one might hope. Patio terrace. Total of four handpumps - three traditional (Black Sheep / Yates's Best Bitter / off) and one modern Bombardier one (off). Cheap beer (e.g. £1.99 for the YBB), and not too bad during the day, but almost certainly one to avoid when it gets busy. (NB - Review dates from August 2011.)
