Quinno _ left this review about The Metal Monocle
Unashamed rock bar with a large live stage. It's done well with a 3D kraken behind the bar and steampunk styling on the other side alongside lower bar stencils. No cask that I could see (and the local CAMRAs concur) though some metal-head themed kegs were front-and-centre; I tried the Trippy Gorilla by Hops N Cropz which was fine. I didn’t see the coffin mentioned below but by this stage of proceedings on a long crawl my willingness to get off my arse to explore was limited. A fair stab at an alt bar, wouldn’t be averse to nosing in again. 5.5

A ground floor bar with pool tables in the rear space,seating and standing in the front section bisected by a staircase. This leads to the toilets and two sitting rooms with nice Victorian fireplaces, there’s a coffin in one room. Around the top of the stairs are pictures of steam punk customers and there’s a steam punk fish on the wall downstairs. Two pulls lurk behind perspex with the usual suspects on two horseshoes, One beer was from Leatherbritches the other from another small brewery. Earlier that day a friend had visited and warned us of a vinegar beer - it was still on when we arrived, the other cask beer was absolutely fine.

matt england left this review about The O Bar
Best bar on Brauny gate (though to be honest it hasn't got alot of competition).
Relaxed 70's feel, good music, sometimes have an ale on
