Quinno _ left this review about The Black Boy
"This was once a jewel in Leicester’s pubs and it started to decline during the late 1990s, and saw a succession of landlords, under the Punch Company regime, who had taken it on from Bass. This saw the pub change from one of the classiest and busiest, serving one of the best pints of Bass around, to an ever changing identity, resulting in its closure and sale notice. The classic interior was vandalised and ripped out, leaving a shell falling more and more into disrepair."
Remains so at the time of posting.
