| Very, very small pub. Popped in here when the National Winter Ales festival was on. Decent enough but don't expect to be seated! ng10 - 12 Feb 2012 10:29 |
| Visited this very unusual pub last night. Hand pulled Tetleys was about your only ale apart from Smith's Smooth. It was packed and we struggled to get a seat, however, this pub defo has lots of character and atmosphere, even though it lacks the range of ales. No other reason that the bar is so small...there was a waitress service for the beers though which was a nice touch... overall, well worth a visit just to actually say you have been there...

| Not great ale selection but definitely worth a visit. Unique pub with a tiny bar and very mucg an endangered species these days. Friendly and located in the city centre. thehonesttruth - 16 Nov 2011 23:10 |
| The lack of space in this pub actually makes for a very sociable vibe - you are more or less included in everyone's conversations by default. Decent enough pint, although no choice. A real throwback to an earlier age and one that deserves to continue in its unimproved form. Very friendly staff and locals. twohalves - 23 Oct 2011 17:22 |
| This is a very small pub that is full of character. In fact, it claims to be the smallest pub in Europe. There are 2 rooms of equal size, with the adjoining bar area so small that only around 3 or 4 people plus the barman/barmaid can fit. Both bars have lots of photos, with the rear bar focussing on football pictures. The front room also features a nice tiled fireplace. We were greeted on entry by a man (George?) who found us a table and took our drinks order. As people have said previously, the drinks are then brought to your table. Tetleys is the only cask ale available. But you come here for the atmosphere, more than the beer. An enjoyable experience. blue_scrumpy - 26 Apr 2011 19:44 |
