Long rectangular bare boarded pub that had the feeling of an estate pub. the bar counter being against the left-hand wall about mid venue on the long side of the space. There was a raised area on the right-hand side just inside the door that had a pool table and a banquette on one wall and a sofa on the other to watch the action. There was also a tall, long table by one of the many TVs in here, including a large one on the wall by the door. There is another pool table just inside the door along with several sets of tables and chairs. Beyond the bar is a darts area and a large seating area at the back of the rectangle, including a rather ramshackle around the alcove window banquette and a Parkray fire on the very back wall. Some seating out the side and back of the pub in the form of rather aged picnic style benches. Another pub very much in student land and numerous posters proclaim offers on the drinks and other activities on various nights of the week. Would say the sound system in the pub was excellent, and beer aside, would be a good place to watch a big game.
