Called in on the way through to the Posada as the exterior looked interesting in an old-fashioned tiled way. Certainly is a drinkers pub, flatscreens with horse-racing everywhere making it feel like almost any bar in Belfast...nothing here to interest the real ale drinker and the "Exhibition Ale" keg beer we took a swift half of was possibly the worst "beer" I have ever tasted in my life. Definitely not one for the imbiber of fine ales...

It's a drinkers pub, i.e drinkers who want cheap alcohol and aren't too bothered in what form it arrives. Will probably have to close down when the smoking ban comes in , because it is the law in here that you must smoke Spanish Lambert and Butlers

As a young'un, this is one of the first pubs I ever went to purely for the fun of it (i.e. not out with other underage drinkers trying to get a fumble with a female). We used to sit here in this small, old fashioned pub looking out the window pretending to be more hungover than we were, worrying out our GCSEs, looking at the spot outside where we were probably chinned the night before by grown men. Such was the way of the Bigg Market before CCTV.

Remember sitting having pints at the window here, nice little place I recall. The Toon Takeaway is just off to the right on the photo. Magic.
