| This pub is staright disguised as a Gay Bar, although Allen the manager is pretty minty on the eye. anonymous - 16 Sep 2007 19:39 |

| Went in the other night with my girlfriend and a few others. It took the barman over ten minutes to serve the two people in front of me, and when I finally gave my order (three times) he proceeded to put doubles when I asked for singles and never let my Guinness settle. However, this was his first night on his own apparently, so I was patient with him. However, from that point onwards, the night just went downhill. No smoking papers or matches were sold behind the bar (and the barman had no idea what I meant) so I had a trip to the shop, came back and the barman had not only gotten my girlfriend's drink order wrong twice (Vodka and Lemonade, hello?), but on the third time when he gave her the right one, the lemonade had obviously gone, as it was just soda. I pointed this out to the barman, who proceeded to just stare at me stupidly and refuse to change the drink. Finally, he managed to get a Vodka, Lime and Soda right, so for safety's sake we stayed on that. I'd been to the Cellar Bar once before and had actually been impressed, but this time I was shocked at how dirty the tables and glasses were (no surprise really, considering I watched the aforementioned barman simply rinse a glass out in the sink before setting it back on the shelf, despite the presence of a perfectly good glasswasher next to the bar). The regulars also made us feel very uncomfortable, with long stares every time we went in or out of the bar area, or up and down the stairs. My girlfriend asked me if we could leave after a while, since apparently the (assumed) landlord and the regulars were trying to get her to sleep with the idiot barman and generally being perverts. Overall, an absolutely shocking night out was had at this pub, and the landlord needs to take some lessons home, I think. Firstly, everyone is slow in their first bar job, but that's why you put them on *with* people, in order to train them. If he's so utterly incompetent that it takes him ten minutes and endless questions to get me a gin and tonic, a vodka and coke and a pint of Guinness, *and* get it wrong, he's not capable of doing a shift on his own. Secondly, the place is filthy. The brass needs polishing and the tables need wiping occasionally, and thirdly, please keep your opinions and those of your regulars about my girlfriend's body to yourselves. A vile pub, one I won't be returning to any time soon. anonymous - 24 Mar 2007 14:16 |

| Good ale, good live music and punters are generally down to earth and non-pretentious. Staff seem pretty switched on. Haven't tried the food so can't comment. johnkn7 - 24 Aug 2005 22:07 |
