A pub that's almost permanently busy. No televisions anywhere, just a bit of music and people talking. By God that's refreshing. There's also a full range of ages; no one feels out of place in there from the students you occasionally find right the way up the ages to the pensioners.

You won't need to leave the pub for anywhere else for quite some time if you want to work your way around the malts; although you'll be back more than once since you won't be able to have that amount of malt in one night without the aid of a stomach pump.....

Price is reasonable for the Westend and serve a good selection of beers, I like the brewdog IPA. Recommended to anyone who likes a traditional pub with very pleasant...

I knew it wasnt cheap but appreciated the heads-up! Great service, good draught beer with clean systems - highly recommended as a stop off in your busy days! Will certainly come...
