Dire!

I was walking up Hardman St the other day on my way to the Fly In The Loaf. I got to the Fly and there were doorman outside and it looked heaving inside. I carried on walking and came to the Flute. It looked busy but there were plenty of seats so I entered.

Very shabby interior what you'd expect from a Firkin pub. Took 10 minutes to get served a pint of Strongbow (£2.70 a pint). Live football being shown on many screens, along with a few scallys in there who took their drinks outside the main door and smoked a spliff in the doorway!

Okay place to go if you're a student (or scally). Won't be returning!

A large barnlike “sports bar” with no fewer than 10 screens and a six foot square projection screen. Lots of pew style seating, games machines, and a bar back display of WKD bottles, the Gents are labelled “Male”. I guess that description says it all about the place. Mundane keg beers only although there is an handsome five pull set of beer engines still on the bar from its “Flute and Firkin” days, it was even in the Good Beer Guide at one time. Popular with all sexes and a wide age range and the bar service was pretty good.

Now known more simply as 'The Flute', this is probably the place to go to if you want to watch live sport. There's about a dozen strategically placed screens scattered around the open-plan bar area. Drinks selection was extremely poor. No real ales or ciders - just a selection of bog standard lagers to suit the sport-watching masses. This certainly isn't a drinkers pub. Not a patch on the nearby Fly in the Loaf. Walk on by!

I love this pub! bit quiet in the summer when all the students bugger off home but its great for a cheap night out. Ope till 2 with Kenny the DJ (We love you kenny-can we be ur bitches?) the music is poppy but not too poppy with some good classics like bon jovi, bryan adams etc almost gauranted along with newer classics such as the killers, kaiser chiefs etc. Bar is cheap (£1.20 for a bottle of carlsberg). Fun friendly student atmosphere and no dress code!

The food is terrible and it takes far too long to arrive. I waited 50 minutes for a lasagne, and the pub was empty. Plus, they only serve main meals after 4pm. Overpriced and extremely dissappointing.
