Unspoiled but renovated interior to this classic Victorian bar, there are a couple of screens and piped music but otherwise it’s stepping back decades. Nice plain panelled counter to the right, the two pulls are a bit hidden round the front corner, three T-bars dominate the show with a mixed bunch of kegs, the only cask was from a local brewery called Winton, nothing to do with Hampshire by the way, the other had a reversed clip. A host of original fittings here, coving, panelling and a splendid bar back, mostly button back leather banquettes and wooden furniture. I realised I was sitting in a seat shown in an old photo on the opposite wall which was a bit disturbing. Basement toilets.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Clarks Bar
Interesting pub located a bit of a walk north from the city centre, but worth it because the heritage interior has been smartened up a bit in a sympathetic way. Mostly banquette seating with small tables around the periphery of the main bar area, but the two rear snugs offer other options. Also has interesting murals on both sides of the staircase down to the toilets. Just Jack Back from Stewart Brewing (£4.50) available from the three handpumps after a busy pre-Christmas weekend, but some interesting craft keg options also available.

Another great find. Doesnt look much from the outside, but large inside with a couple of fine rooms off the back. Long bar with a selection of English Guest ales first noticed. Excellent Theakstons XB.
Football on discreetly and a selection of newspapers to read through. Comfortable place and would come back.
