Long rectangular venue from the shop fronted entrance side. Bare boarded with a glazed ceramic tile area in the front either side of the entrance with crimson studded banquettes in the front windows serving regular tables. The bar counter is down the left-hand wall middle to rear corner with some tall stool seating at the bar counter. There are some regular and tall tables in the rear right hand corner, which also has a skylight, ahead of some glass doors leading out to the extensive decked exterior seating area which has a lot of covered seating and of various styles including some booth tables. To the end of the bar counter ahead of another exit to the external seating area is a carpeted small room called the Snug offering regular tables and chairs. There are quite a few screens dotted around the bar area showing baseball on my visit. No sound that provided by a Motown soundtrack. There are a lot of beer mats on the upper parts of the walls around the bar counter suggesting this place prides itself on a decent cask offering. All in all, wasn’t expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised by the venue.
