This is the sort of pub where anyone will fit in. It has comfy sofas and shows all the big games on big screens. They have DJ's at the weekends and it gets rammed. Not a lot on offer for real ale fans though.

Down-and-dirty corner boozer colonised by slightly wanky early-20s art student types and young professionals who wear second-hand clothes. Some of the Irish clientele survive, and everyone gets along in a friendly enough manner. Decent bar staff but no real ale, only a limited range of poor lagers. Selection of sofas which are unpleasant to the touch but comfy. Good jukebox, but the staff turn the volume right down on tracks they like, and right up on ones they do.

Whilst this pub has many good points, I consider that the lack of any drinkable beer is a bit of a downside. The current score here of 7.7/10 is a bit of a mystery when you consider that this web-site is primarily concerned with BEER, but I suppose that if you like cheap lager, then this is the place for you. As Cathy McGowan used to say, Oi'll give it foive. Or was it Janice Nicholls.

Went here on Monday lunchtime. Yes this place has character (love the wooden toys hanging from the ceiling) but thats where it ends. Unless character to you is no draft ale, wonkey tables and ripped seats. Yes it's different from the some of the characterless pubs in the city but there are far better ones within walking distance. If you like your music heavy then this is the place. Felt like a bikers pub.

No crisps or food for those interested in that sort of thing. Eating is cheating after all. Nice blonde barmaid.
