Rob Hunter left this review about Post Office Vaults
Paid a re-visit recently on a weekday afternoon. I wasn't quite as enamoured as I was on my 2019 visit but that may in part have been down to the beer selection on the day, and the one I went for had a bit of an odd aroma. It wasn't my favourite beer of the day. Fairly busy around 4pm midweek. Six of seven hand pulls at the bar were in service for real ale, and there was a menu behind the bar listing a further seven ciders, which is quite impressive.
Furniture is basic and functional, certainly perfectly adequate. Loads of old bottles filled a shelf going round the perimiter of the room at high level. Unfortunately the gents are extremely smelly - perhaps being underground the drainage from the trough style urinal could be problematic.
I'll probably give it another go at some point, and it's worth seeking out if you have never been before.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Post Office Vaults
Compact cellar bar, with a rather difficult-to-spot main door on New Street and a more obvious entrance on Pinfold Street. Fairly plain furniture and decor. Somehow they have managed to fit in seven handpumps and a few keg fonts onto the compact counter. Usual excellent selection in a variety of styles on my latest visit, including a pair of milds: Champion from Hobson's and Bostin' from Green Duck (£4.40). NB - If you are thinking of meeting someone here, you might want to know that not all mobile networks have a signal inside.

much loved subterranean bar. Very small, crowded and sweaty, with traditional pubby decor. I could have enjoyed it if it was a little less busy but didn’t find it that friendly or comfortable so cleared off after a decent swift half of Champion Mild.
