I think that the below review sums this place up very well, but the ale had changed to Pride, Tribute and Youngs Ordinary during my visit earlier this week. There was also a premium draught selection and my Guinness was on good form.

This was one of the busier pubs on my crawl so it is popular with drinkers in the area, but it’s not really my sort of pub so I doubt that I’ll return.

A curious place this, clearly once an imposing street corner gin palace with several rooms, now it is all one space and has clearly been visited by that Laurence Llewelyn Bowen bloke from "Changing Rooms". The walls are what I'd describe as "Military Green" with lighter green leaves stencilled on, and the ceiling is matt black. A light shade appears to be made from antlers, and there is a goats head on the wall. There is some traditional seating but also the modern trend for low sofas, although here with standard height tables so I'm really not sure how that works! Four doors hint at the original multi room layout, at least the original (?) glass corner lobby has been retained. There is also an attractive tiled bar frieze/splash area around the central island bar, which has no central bar back, just a hanging empty picture frame.
Mainly a younger studenty set, plus a few older media types. A number of speakers on the walls suggest maybe a music venue but I didn't spot any adverts.
Pride, St Austell Tribute and Purity Pure Gold (£3.30). Certainly not my type of place being more of a traditionalist but the beer was fine.

Went in this pub the day before xmas eve and the noise coming from the jukebox was unbearable. It wa slike some form of torture! the beer tasted watered down, the decor was hallucinating with so many flashing lights,.

Sort of pub you go in once and dont bother returning to.

Went to this pub (reluctantly) for a leaving do Friday 30 October, after having walked past it without going in for the best part of a decade. The pump clips are usually turned round so not a good sign; the sort of people I see drinking here put me off as well. Managed to last about an hour and a half somehow, most of which was spent queuing at the bar and the rest looking at the appalling decor and listening to the braying of the vile clientele.
Won't ever go back - overpriced, surly bar staff and full of the sort of people who in Basil Fawlty's words would wear a dog turd round their neck if it was made of gold. 1/10

went in last week afterwork, waited 10mins to be served a becks and a cider. staff were working hard but achieving nothing in a hurry. stood outside to drink and decided easier to go over to the yorkshire grey. where we were served very quickly and beers were top notch.
