Visited 02/06/26. Visited previously 02/10/23.

Two cask bitters, the Piston Brew from Bushey’s and the TT special from Okells called 1907 (to mark the first year of the TT). Keg offering of Odd Fellas cider from the Isle of Cider, Guinness, Madri and the Norseman premium lager.

The bar area is very pleasant just to the left of the entrance (although you have to walk down the corridor to double back). Original parquet flooring with a curvy wooden fronted bar counter and a banquette facing the bar counter serving a few regular tables with small stool seating the other side thereof. There is some tall stool seating at the small end of the bar counter in the large bay window and a nice tall table to the side thereof. Regular tables and chairs in the remainder of the floor space that doubles up as the restaurant for the hotel. A large projector screen was showing build up to the afternoon’s racing (weather permitting). There is a raised paved patio area at the front with typical patio style tables and chairs.
