David Walton left this review about Helgi’s

Visited 27/05/26. Visited previously 14/06/23.

No cask. Keg offering of their own Satan's Juice Pilsner, the Goldbrau lager, the Motörhead Road Crew APA, Guinness, the Saint Monday Session IPA, and a Lilley's cider.

Small venue, temple to heavy metal. As you would expect the colour scheme almost exclusively black. Bare boarded with the bar counter along the left-hand wall mid venue. Not surprisingly some church pew seating plus some regular tables and chairs and a ledge with tall stool seating opposite the bar counter. There is some similar seating beyond the bar counter and a rear seating area that was roped off on my visit. The bathrooms and the descent to them will live long in the memory. One of few PG venues where you will get a pint of pale ale accompanied by full blast Judas Priest. Can't believe I got to the end of my pint without at least one goat being sacrificed. One to be experienced for sure - this will never be a JDW. The music is epic though.
