One of three pubs accidentally visited in this vicinity the other day, fooled into entering because of their traditional pub names, when in fact they are conversions and as mentioned, this was a temperance hall with an interesting snooker history documented by CAMRA.
You enter and descend into a large lower ground floor area, dimly lit with most light coming from a mass of TVs, mixed furniture and a young crowd, all to an unbearable cacophony.
Ale amounted to the disappointment that is Doom and Pride, both clips reversed. As I couldn’t face any more keg – undoubtedly at a price – noise and sheer horror, I decided to just bail out; I’ll leave this one to the area’s sizeable Club 18-30 brigade.

A nice old building, as described previously, which now seems to be chasing the trendy cocktail bar/coffee shop vibe of the various establishments along the road. The lower level containing the bar is done up in the usual grey/green decor and festooned with small lights. Upstairs seems to be laid up for dining but was not open. Two sets of triple handpumps offered only Doom Bar, or rather didn't as it was off, so back to some fizzy craft ice pop. Forgettable.

An unusual but attractive green tiled frontage, replete with a dome and formerly a temperance billiards hall designed, I am told, by MC Escher. Sadly the interior in no way matches the promise of the exterior. Enter down some steps to enter a long quasi-subterranean bar with an upstairs area. Dark wood floor with nice inlaid colour tiling though the nasty yellow paint on the walls did it no favours. At the rear of the room, on a raised seating area blessed by a skylight, are many different framed pictures of the eponymous capra hircus. Three ales on at the bar - Doom Bar, Tribute and Moorhouse’s New Order theme/endorsed beer. We tried the latter which in decent shape though at £4.40 I would have damned well hope so. Now my curiosity has been satisfied I am unlikely to see myself returning.
