Returned to life after a period of closure and refurbishment, this is now an upmarket hipster joint, at least judging from the staff. Basically three rooms, all on slightly different levels but all furnished in an expensive designer yet slightly spartan way; wide expanses of open floor, lots of dark woodwork and mostly plain pastel walls with occasional arty touches. It might feel better when (if) it gets busy, but on a Sunday lunchtime it just felt empty. I am not quite sure who it is aimed at - not me and apparently not the average tourist either. It did at least have a couple of handpumps, serving Black Sheep Best and Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted, which was tolerable if past its best. Not much to note on the keg front. I suppose it fits adequately in a crawl, but there are better pubs close at hand.

Well described by OB below, so I won't bother except to say that there's yet another room if you go down to the lower level then up a few steps to the right. Bombardier, two beers from Wentworth and Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild available on our visit. The Wentworth Milestone was in good nick, the staff were friendly and fun. The staff T-Shirts all say TOY on them which stands for Thomas's Of York. There's a sign outside that says "Come In And Play With Our TOYs". :-)) We'll definitely call in again soon.
