Weekday only opening times make this one a bit awkward to tick. It’s well worth a look if you can though, a hideous building housing a quality real ale pub. Basic barebones interior, but a staggering array of pump clips on the walls. Four ales and two ciders on when I called in, Plum Porter very reasonably priced at £3,20 and it was a tranquil atmosphere despite visiting on a graduation day. A rare example of a proper university pub, second best only to the sadly missed Herdwick bar at Lancaster.

As long as you can tolerate students this is a decent pub. 5 ever changing handpumps plus a couple more for cider. The place is just one room and up until a couple of years ago there was a pool table but this has been removed. Can sometimes be busy at the end of lectures but is usually quite quiet. Its not usually open at weekends. A welcome place for an after work drink at least.

This 2011 Good Beer Guide pub was quiet when we called, about half a dozen at 9pm on a Saturday night which seemed strange after all the busy pubs we had just visited. We stood at the bar chatting to the barman who was interested in our crawl list as he was the 20th pub of the day. We enjoyed the Blackwater Bauhaus while chatting to him.
