This is a large(ish) sports bar just outside the shopping centre on the parade of bars and restaurants. Inside it is bare boarded with an island bar in the rough centre of the venue. The bar counter has a panelled wooden frontage and some tall stool seating at certain points on its perimeter. Otherwise, seating is via a mixture of tables and chairs, including some leather banquettes in the rear left and right-hand sides, quite a few tall tables and booth tables more towards the front part of the venue. High ceilings with ducting and a mezzanine level accessed via a grand wooden and quite winding staircase with further seating and a darts and karaoke area. Pleasant pendant lighting and plenty of screens showing a variety of recorded sporting action on my visit. There is a rear open kitchen but most here on my mid evening visit were just here to quaff. There was an outside partially covered seating area at the front that was fully occupied on my visit on a fair-weather evening.
