A fantastic looking Georgian terraced building in cream render, with brick and pilasters. A nice crest stands above the pediment over the door and the words cafe bar seem inviting, when 'abandon all hope ye who enter here' are more appropriate. There is an L-shaped room in cream and olive greenish wood panel, with a token wall in red patterned wallpaper. It has a wood floor and small tiled fireplace. There is a pool table (indeed, the keep-off under 16s note on the wall was the only real art to look at, other than a drink poster) and dart board, along with a DJ booth. It is basic - indeed, i went to the loo to find the first sink not actually plumbed in. I didn't see a TV and the music came from the radio. The service was fine, sadly, the product less so - there was no real ale, so the usual keg stuff with a Banks's MILD that i congratulated myself for finishing (i DID drink worse later). The vista is one of a rutting ground that lies between the pub and the Betfred establishment and the mating call of 'EFF U' can be heard both in increasing frequency and volume. The ghosts of past occupants must be in torment.

The sign outside says Cafe-Bar and the front area looks a little bit trendy with wicker chairs and tables but no not a terribly sophisticated place. Dark with lots of noise, there's a pool table and darts board at the back, for your drinking pleasure there is a range of national kegs or something to drink straight from the bottle. A stern notice on the front door cautions us that the facilities are for the use of paying customers only – cripes!

Desperate, awful, what a shame for this lovely old building. Bland, uncomfortable.

Beer is undrinkable

This pub has just been taken over by a new landlord, it is still early days but he has put on entertainment, there is a disco in the week which I havent been to but I know the entertainment is wicked at the weekends. Friday night is karaoke and disco with just old skool soul, motown and northern soul music. On a saturday it is old music only everything from the 60's to the 90's, he plays some of those tunes you havent heard for ages and it is different each week. Definately a good place to go if you fancy a dance with your mates. Good crowd of people in the pub too.
