| A large single-room pub with a somewhat down at heel appearance. Clearly the major attraction here is the magic bar, as it�s name suggests. This is a small bar in the corner of the room where a magician does a number of card tricks. There�s limited seating in front of the bar and so it�s a little difficult to see what�s going on if there�s a few punters in front of you. As such, I didn�t take too much notice of proceedings, but the tricks that were being done seemed to be appreciated. The action was also relayed to a plasma screen, but that didn�t have enough detail to really see what was happening, and, rather oddly, was only in black and white. There are lots of sofa�s around the place, some large windows at the front to watch the world go by, and a grand piano in one corner. As well as the more usual open mic night, they also have an open magic night. There were a number of pictures on one wall showing various illusionists and performers � Houdini, Barnum, etc. All in all it could really do with a bit of tidying up, but it scores a few points for being unusual. Unfortunately there was no beer on tap at all. The solitary cider was Strongbow, which was very disappointing. Blackthorn - 4 Oct 2012 12:10 |
