Simply dreadful and they dont show all the sport that they advertise on thier web site, £3.50 a pint is inexcusable and has to rank as one of the worst places I've ever had a drink in in my life.

0 is too high a rating.

Oh dear oh dear. Just can't force myself to write anything favourable about a bar that will not serve you a half because "we don't do halves". The only thing this place has going for it is a shed load of screens showing sport sport sport. Problem is the extremely poor service you will get at the bar is the stuff of legend. Also gets PACKED for big games, meaning getting a drink can take the entire first half. Take my advice, don't even think about it. There are better options in the area.

An unbelievable £3.30 for a pint of Fosters. Asked for half a Guinness and was told by the barmaid “we don’t do halves”. You get your change back on a plate, even the change that I asked for to buy some fags!

I was looking at the lunch menu when another barmaid comes over at 16:00 and switches the menu from the afternoon one to the evening one. Double bubble on the prices, but the food was nice and arrived promptly. However I have been here before and waited over an hour for a cold burger and chips.

I would recommend this place if you are in town and want to watch some sport or are meeting up with a few friends and want to have a couple of games of pool before going on somewhere else. It is called the Sports café after all!

Also be weary in the toilet as to avoid being sprayed with lynx and having soap and bog paper thrown at you by the change jingling, lollypop dispensing, teeth sucking, annoyance that is a toilet attendant.

Expensive and they've got those annoying toilet monkeys who try to extort a pound from you for handing over a towelette. When the footie's on it's Lad City but it turns into a club later and not an upmarket one that's for sure
