Black Horse, Leicester

Over the last few years I have seen this pub go from a pretty ropey state to its current tastefully decorated and well stocked current situation. As a bit of a music fan I'll be down at the Black Horse on weekends and thursdays (if possible) for the folk music jam. On a strip of bars and loud booming music the Black Horse is a small oasis for people like me that enjoy being able to have a chat in a relaxed atmosphere. And just about every time I pop in I meet someone new to chew the fat and set the world to right with! The staff are just as sociable as the customers and the landlord encompasses the true spirit of traditional old boozer....at a range of vocal volumes it must be said! As far as drink choices there is an unusually large number of malt scotch's and other spirits. Most of the times I have been in there is the standard Everards selection (including original...why is that so hard to find?) as standard as well as two guest ales and some different lager choices for the football crowd hahaha! In summary I would advise this pub to any adult....if you like downing cheap shots and slurping on alcopops you may not find what you are looking for here
