    Good

    Every Friday my best mate and I would go here after he finished work just for 'one.' We both knew we were kidding ourselves and generally nursed a sore head the day after. This is a beautiful tiled proper old mans pub, which i have been going to since moving here in 2002. Back then I hated it because it was really smokey and smelly (like many pubs back then) but the live acts on a Sunday evening pulled a great crowd. Today it has excellent selection of Ales, Lager and IPA'S - a member of CAMRA and it has a great friendly atmosphere of all ages and personalities! Great new menu!

    Plenty of space within the pub, it can get very busy on a Friday / Saturday though. Step free entrance.

    The number 8 bus goes right past the bar.

    Unknown to me they have an accessible loo, and I will take a picture the next time I'm in.

    Additional Information

    The food isn't bad too, with the sausages coming from Crombies next door. There's limited space outside but its nice and sunny if you are able to grab a table.
