As this is smack bang in the middle of the city centre and by the very busy gyratory bus stops it can be quite lively. Its not great but because of its location it is popular with stags, hens, shoppers, scallies and pissheads. All the pubs within a 300 yard radius of here are toss anyway so best to go further out.

Crap called in on Sunday morning the 4th of August it was early doors you stuck to the floor as you walked the bar staff was all hung over from the night before it took a girl a long time to serve us. I Said you dont want to be here she said we all dont want to be here. Had the worst breakfast ever in a pub it was cold the plate was grubby with finger prints on we got our money back and went

Dark, very noisy, club like atmosphere, opposite the Rat and Parrot and like that arranged over two floors. The toilets, complete with troll, are upstairs. Various screens show a mixture of music and an almost continuous corporate video showing what their target demographic is, apparently actor Will Mellor and friends in the 18-30 age group although there was a sixieth birthday group enjoying themselves when I was there. Looks very popular with younger women. Usual sort of furnishings with vertical drinking space between the high tables and stools downstairs. Long barcounter down one side at the back and it unexpectedly has three handpumps, Bombardier, Cains and St George's Cross, which I am told is specially prepared by Wells & Young for Yates's. I risked a half of St George's and as expected it was absolutely rank, shame I didn't bring any chips to put it on. Stick to keg or bottles in here or Chardonnay with the girlies, no-one's here for the beer.
