Large bar converted from a Church , the bar is to the right of the entrance , the interior is divided into seperate areas with some comfy seating by the entrance , high tables and stools in the middle , a raised area to the left and a mezzanine floor .
This is a Vodka bar aimed at the younger trendier end of the market in the evenings but in the day it is open to anyone , on my friday afternoon visit there were a few couples eating and a family also eating .
Large selection of Vodkas(30+) and other spirits , no real ales but plenty of lager on tap Amstel , Heinikein , Mahon ,San Miguel ,Peroni and Budweiser plus Aspalls and Magniers , bottled beers included Duvell , Camden , Chimay , Leffe , Boulavard and Verdett .
It is a decent conversion and worth a pop in for a quick drink , but the array of large speakers , spotlights and disco balls means its probally better going during the day if your over 30.

I suggest using a wide angle lens when photographing this pub, my efforts really don't do it justice. Being a Cheltonian, I can remember this place when it was Salem Baptist Church, It was beautifully converted to a pub (The Festival and Firkin) in the late 1990's. It has been quite a while since I have been inside, it was spectacular the last time I saw it. It's on my "to do" list.
