Not quite the same as when it was the Lamplighters, but one of the new pubs left in the centre that cater for an alternative crowd. Open till 4am at the weekends, which is always a bonus (probably the only decent place to go to so late), however i have noticed recently they tend to let in just about anyone.

Spent a very jolly saturday night in here on my first trip to see the sights of Leicester. Loved this pub. Two good guest ales on pump and a good selection of continental beers on tap and bottled, food was good and the cocktails were good too (if you fancy that sort of thing). One of the things that really struck em was how friendly and good the bar staff were - every time i was being served at the bar (no matter how busy it seemed to be) I was asked by another member of the bar staff if I was being served. They were fast and knew their jobs well, really can make a difference. I was there during summer holidays and it struck me as he kind of place that students would flock to in term time, but I can't say that'd be a bad thing as this seems like a pub where the atmosphere just gets better the more people are in it.

Popped in here last weekend - had a nice pint of GL draught cider and a bottle of Addlestones. Food was adequate pub grub. Nice atmosphere (although bouncers on the door even at lunchtimes), friendly staff, not a bad place at all.

Great venue for gigs. (Much better than the Charlotte). No real ale, of course. Big room downstairs, and smaller room upstairs.

Late licence now stops at 1am, alas!

I love it. Great range of drinks, the staff are fun (especially the fella who books the gigs) and the venue upstairs is classy indeed - lots of Magic Teapot gigs there which is recommendation in itself. very useful pre-Retribution or post-anywhere else owing to the obscenely late licence.

Good spirits range. Great music quiz on Tuesdays

All the comments below are true, but not worthy of a 10,cheeky!

a new city center venue incorporating wholesome food, live music, and a late licence, giving plenty of time to enjoy the chilled atmosphere
