Visited here last night (Tuesday) for the first time. Wasn't really sure what to expect but it's quite a nice space, semi industrial feeling with painted breezeblock walls but there is plenty of wood with the massive sign above the bar and drinking shelves around the perimeter, to complement the tables and chairs which are of basic pub style - functional and comfortable enough. A fruit machine and a jukebox break up the space, there are candles on the tables, but otherwise it is fairly minimalistic but it works and I think overall it is a decent looking place. There are a few tables outside for the smoking brigade. Back inside there are several massive photo collages of the local area from times gone by, which I found interesting.

At the bar are four hand pulls, last night offering a Longford Tap branded house ale (looked like it was probably a bitter), Beatnikz Beach Bum, Manchester Brewing The Messiah Is My Citra and Track Sonoma. The Beach Bum was very nice and in decent condition. There are also some keg taps but I didn't pay any attention to these so not sure what was on offer.

Overall this is a nice place, decent beer, and I would be very happy to pay a return visit.
