Visited 08/01/25

No cask, just keg beers comprising Guinness, Mahou, Camden Hells, Corona, the Goose Island Midway Session IPA, their IPA and Orchard Pig cider.

This is quite a new venue (at date of visit) on Kingsway. The bar area is on the left-hand side just inside the front door. The bar servery is an O shaped affair with a marble counter and a nice oak slatted frontage. Seating at the bar counter via stools on a chequered tiled flooring. Seating down the sides via tall stools and small tables and there are a couple of four-person tall tables in the front windows all on a boarded flooring. The venue makes extensive use of mirrors and subdued lighting with the upper part of the wall on the left-hand side being used to display framed copies of New Yorker magazine front covers and some old film posters.
