Really enjoy this place when having a quiet catch up with friends and football with a fantastic selection of beers.
However, bar staff can be occasionally huffy, and busy nights tend to be nightmarish thanks to some total morons who turn up.
One day I will have tried each beer at least once, but always come back to the Chiller, which is just a nice refreshing, quaffable beer suitable for watching footy with

Visited for the first time in ages on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by the selection of beer on offer (so much so that there is a menu, divided into different countries' fare).

Tried the Porterhouse Original, Porterhouse Red and Hop Head (the other ale - TSB - was off). Good stuff and just over £3.50 for a pint. More than I like paying, but I guess around standard for the area.

The pub shows live sport was was pretty busy, although you're certainly not shoulder to shoulder with other punters. In fact, it's a huge pub on several different levels, so you should be able to find a seat somewhere, even on busy evenings.

The Harp is definitely my first choice for drinking in the area, but certainly wouldn't object were I to be dragged back here.

I enjoyed my Pint of Porterhouse Red here, but there is not enough seats I would like to sit down.

I shall return.

Actually really enjoy going to this place when out and about in Central. Definately not a real ale pub but does a good selection of spirits and a nice strawberry beer. I always found the patrons a really good crowd, always had a good time here :)

Nice layout if a tad confusing & enough bottled beers that there's a menu. Great pub considering where it is.
