The pub is well described by Tris in the previous review and seems unchanged in the ensuing two and a half years.
Still unfortunately keg only but a fair mix on the 14 taps of premium lager, Guinness and craft, I imagine there was a Cider in there somewhere but didn't spot it at the time. The pub interior is good to look at and comfortable as well as relaxing, I could have happily stayed longer but for more pubs to tick. It's a solid 7/10 for me, the addition of some cask would make it an easy 8, I somehow doubt it likely though.

Renamed and rebranded in May 2023, this is the second in the Mc & Sons chain, though this features on CAMRA’s list of pubs with notable interiors, this being of Special National Historic Interest.
Aside from the rainbow flag, the first thing you notice on approach are the fine Bass/Worthington windows (see photos), though once inside, the bar back is the star here along with a small eight-person snug to the front, which can be hired. There’s a rough boarded floor, traditional furniture, eclectic framed prints which like the other branch celebrate the life of the McElhinney’s [sic], with a good acoustic band playing. It’s meant to have an Irish flavour, but it’s about as Irish as Joe Biden, likewise the Thai food.
One unused pump meant a half of Hepcat IPA at a price forgotten but no doubt high, served by a jocular barman.
This is a nice pub, but the lack of a quality cask option is a handicap so I can’t recommend it.
