The Dockyard is an open plan bar with a serving counter on the right wall that faces some high tables and benches. Under the front windows are some large high table with interesting high armchairs. There’s a worn wooden floor throughout and a huge projector screen on the left wall shows Sky Sports, which was muted in favour of background music during a recent midweek evening visit. On the rear wall is a dartboard and two shuffleboard tables, which is a first for me to see in a pub.
The bar supports five handpumps that were all unused. A premium keg range was available, half a Staropramen was £3. Food is available, but the kitchen was closed during my visit. The barmaid was polite, but there were a few drunk kids showing off so I sloshed my beer down and left.

Sports Bar, with possibly the biggest TV screen I have seen indoors. Staropramen as I didn't observe any cask.

A few years ago when a mate of mine lived up the road this was an O'Neils, so we avoided it like the plague. It now sounds like it should be a traditional pub, but it's just one huge room with canteen style long tables. All the walls are bare brick with little decoration on them. In fact there's very little of note throughout the pub. A good range of ales during my visit with 4 being available from the 5 handpumps. My pint of Siren Craft Half Mast was in good nick and the girls who came and sat on the next table to me were very attractive. So not a lost cause by any means, but I suspect it's rammed with teenies later on.

A one roomed open plan square inside. It apparently used to be an Irish bar and to be honest still looks like one. Has a lot of pump clips of pre-sold beers on display on the walls and has 5 handpumps. Sadly the selection was piss poor on this visit with Doom Bore, Deuchars and some kind of carpet cleaner.

When i visted this pub it was called Times Sq, i presume Sq stood for square but they could'nt be bothered to add the uare to the name.
Once inside there was a largish room that was full of tat and it had lots of different types of seating,the pub was very quiet on my Saturday dinner visit making me think this was more of an evening pub.
I was surprised to see one real ale on the bar this was Bass and this was a decent enough drink.
Not really my sort of pub but it had to be done.
