Large corner located venue, L shaped with the bar counter following the inside shape of the venue. There is some outside seating at the front sides of the venue. Corner entrance, with a lino tile skirt around the bar counter and then a mixture of bare boarded and carpeted. Immediately to the right of the entrance there is a seating area with regular tables and chairs and a high leather banquette facing the side street windows than a slightly raised area with regular tables and then a line of tall tables down the middle with a series of fabric banquettes before another slightly raised area with regular tables and chairs in the rear part of that side plus some leather banquettes serving regular tables along the side walls. To the left of the entrance is a plusher seating area, wood panelling on the walls with an ornate wooden fire grate clearly not in use, and leather bucket armchairs with a dark blue leather corner fitted banquette. There are plenty of screens in the venue and the emphasis here is clearly on sport. Lighting was pleasant and a very low background pop soundtrack. Not going to set the world alight as a destination for cask lovers, but nice and airy venue to catch a game.
