A rather awful modern bar, a glass-fronted monstrosity adjacent to Gunwharf Quays shopping centre. The furnishings and fittings are bland and the decor is unimaginative. It has no real character or real ale. Staff are unhelpful and ridiculous, there is little by way of a regular clientele and there are much better pubs nearby. Probably fine if you want a fizzy lager during a tedious shopping trip, but I doubt I shall make this a priority venue in the future.

Tried it on a sunny Saturday lunchtime, it is one of those "find a table" first before served pubs
The place was very nearly empty of punters, and the Old Custom House just along the way was heaving at the seams I think you get the picture
I left without ordering, it was all just too awkward & I could not be *rsed to sort it all out just for a quick pint
