| I was in here early last night - first customer in fact. It was great, clean, friendly yet inobtrusive staff, good music etc. The dark Guinness was on top form, and I left a happier man... Will deffo call in again when wandering homewards misterboozy - 13 Jun 2009 12:28 |

| Now up for sale by the brewery. They've no longer got any interest in it. No great surprise. In the pesent climate - it could be end of a pub on this site. JohnnyCrow - 19 Feb 2009 11:55 |
| Set in the residential area of Kemptown, this corner bar is handy for the local music scene with open-mic nights and regular solo-musicians performing, including the Irish landlord. Colourfully (gaudily) decorated many years ago, the pub is poorly maintained and gives the impression of having seen more prosperous times. Three striking goldfish tanks are a feature of the building. The main bar area is decorated with a selection of band t-shirts pinned to the walls and the window frames. A taped-shut Velux vent is also a feature. What was most notable was how very cold the venue is. It was 0°c outside but there was no heating on at all. No warmth. Many people remarked how cold it was, even to the landlord but no heating was turned on for us. Most punters sat shivering in hats and coats while enjoying the live music A grim hole of an establishment with little-to-no evidence of cleaning. The gents' toilet is plastered with gig fliers, the floor featured several used toilet rolls sodden in a puddle of muddy piss. More filth in the toilet cubicle whose wooden toilet seat was on the floor, along with grubby scrunched-up balls of toilet paper The usual Hall & Woodhouse drinks: Badger ale, HB lager, Stowford Press cider. No Irish whisky. No single malt whisky. This place is very run-down and crying out for full renovation. Avoid until this happens goosegog - 8 Feb 2009 09:59 |
