Ex JDW venue but retains the look and feel of a JDW, albeit this would have been one of their more compact venues. There is pavement seating at the front that was popular on my sunny early evening visit. Inside they have retained the colourful JDW carpeting. Plenty of regular tables and chairs and some booth seating along the left-hand wall, that side slightly raised from the right-hand side, which has the long bar counter along the wall. The screens in the venue were tuned into Sky News and various sports channels. background music was very low and the conversation in the venue was the predominate sound. There is an again slightly raised seating area at the back of the venue. There is a small seating area up the long flight of stairs to the bathroom.
