OK for a quiet pint if you manage to get a seat upstairs, otherwise it tends to be a bit chaotic. Normal beer and food of the chain.

Other reviews are very accurate. It's possibly too big, as in height, for a consistently good atmosphere, and when there's not a lot of people in during the day it can be too quiet. However, it does get packed particularly when there's a popular football game on or on Friday/Saturday night so the space is normally needed. Prices and choice of draught and drinks is excellent, so as others have said it's great to meet friends but then maybe go somewhere else.

I meet friends there every couple of weeks after work midweek, and it's normally just the right level of busy-ness. The staff are normally friendly, and the booths on the right (coming in through the main door) are great for a slightly more 'pubby' feel.

Cheesy house music on the Saturday night though... sometimes (but not always) played too loud.

Given its former life, this place is always going to be a cavern. It used to be a rather soul-less Wetherspoons, now it's a rather soul-less Lloyds No. 1. Nothing musch seems to have changed, but I recommend looking for seats in the small upstairs area if you want to hear what your companions are saying.

Sunday afternoon, biggest screen in town for the footy, roast dinner, overseas bottled beers. YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! Life is rarely this good.

Been here a few Dinner times with work mates and for leaving doo's. This once Theatre/Cinema/Punk Dance Hall is now a Boozer without character. As has been said before OK for a Cheap beer and as a meeting place but the High Ceilings make it impossible to hold down a sensible conversation when busy. Food OK for what you pay but plenty of other Boozers around offering better value for money.
