Visited recently. OK, single room pub. Black Sheep Ale wasn't up to much.

Have to say I'm surprised at the postivity here. I chose it on the basis of these comments to meet a friend before going to the Academy. Bit tatty inside. Far from rammed, it was dead - and it smelt. I then ordered a pint of Black Sheep which had clearly been in the barrel too long with a slight vinegar nose. I left the pub after 15 minutes with most of the pint untouched. Avoid would be my advice. If you want a bit of life, try the Oxford on the main road - much cleaner, livelier and a decent pint of Deuchars.

A bit pricey, but it's worth it for a laid back atmosphere and a good pint. Nicer surroundings than the Grafton just down the road, and doesn't tend to be too rammed.

wow ... what a breath of fresh air into what i would say is a very moderate area for decent pubs.
Went in the BG last week because i had heard about its new menu.
My only concern about going back into the pub was that it was under the same management it was under last time i was in back in summer 04 but thank god it wasn't.
Give the place a try ... excellent manu comprising of Kangaroo burgers, Springbok & othe exotic burgers & also a superb sauasage menu and all at reasonable prices (better than being ripped off in the pretentious Kro bar & rampant lion or getting crap food at the Oxford & the Varsity) and the staff and the management have all changed for the better .. so if you haven't tried it for a couple of years or so .. give it a whirl and sample the recently refurbished BG. It also stocks a fantastic range of beers incl. trad and a amazing digital jukebox.
