A micro-pub with a difference, as the right hand side of the room features a disco (not in use at the time of our visit), with album sleeves decorating the walls and there's another record player behind the bar. Music appeared to be in the soul/blues/jazz spectrum. Our Sunday afternoon visit saw the pub being put to more conventional use: drinking and conversation, with some popping outside to drink on the benches there, or to smoke in the doorway (making it difficult to get a photo!).
There are three hand pumps and an extensive menu of bottled and canned beers. A display of pump clips on one wall testifies to an interesting selection of ales, and the available beers at the time of our visit were interesting and in good condition.

A micropub with a selection of bottled beers and 3 handpumps with ever changing beers. The interior is adorned with LP covers and music leg ends, with the area to the right of the bar seemingly for psychedelic bands. I enjoyed my stay in here and though the background music was crap Pink Floyd-like nonsense it was ok.
