Unfortunately I will not be returning to this generally sound pub until a particular member of the bar staff is either replaced or has an attitude transplant. For reasons I couldn't fathom on my last visit his idea of serving my pint was to virtually throw it at me over the bar. Not once, but twice. I don't need this nor it seems does the pub need me, so ta ta for now. His presence has reduced my rating. Shame.

Lovely old pub, efficient servive by somewhat strange and agressive barman / manager
|
This is a great pub, nice cheap wine and beer, and the staff are nice if you smile at them! Lost many an hour in here.

A proper pub with decent enough beer. Not bad at all, especially for the cenre of town.

A Lovely old pub, atmosphere spoiled by rude, ignorant manager and staff.

A fantastic real pub, good beer and very good prices. Combine this with football on the t.v (not too loud!), friendly regulars and bar staff and you have a winner. Highly recommended.

I enjoy coming here, nice decor, good staff, good beers.
However, I find the idea of having a "non-smoking area" as delineated by the signs, with ashtrays on the tables and no enforcement of said policy, a bit annoying.
I mean, have a non-smoking area or not. I'm looking forward to when there won't be any choice in the matter.

This is a great pub. I was expecting to find a real "old man" pub with locals who stare at you as you walk in, but instead i found a warm and friendly atmosphere, a real mix of customers and extremely nice staff. And its got that classic english pub feel to the decor. A great place to stop for a quick one on the way to the jewelry quarter from town, or vice versa. Id quite happily sit in there all night to be honest. Very close to Snow Hill station, might pop in during the day if my train is going to be late.
