If I could give this place a 0 star review I would. We went here on Friday, a group of 5 of us, two of the lads were dressed very casually and not in "clubbing attire" they enter the premises first just after 11pm and were not stopped or questioned about thier choice of outfit, however the bouncer on the door had an issue with me, because even thought I was clearly dressed up for the night I was wearing a jacket which had the name of a brand he said I couldn't wear into the pub because it was a nightclub. when I said it's just my jacket because it's November and I'm cold he just told me that I needed to dress more appropriately and he wouldn't let me in. now I wouldn't have minded if it was a high end place but when I finally got let in I looked around to see lads in full tracksuits and girls in far less dressier items of clothing that me, I don't understand what the problem was with my jacket but to be honest it ruined the experience for me and I was glad to leave. I probably wouldn't go back as it was clearly one rule for one and one for another.

it wasn't even a bad jacket, I wear it out quite often as a coat when it's cold and I've never been questions about it before so to be help up outside a pub, oh no sorry, "nighclub" for it made me feel embarrassed...

£4.60 for a delicious pint of cloudy vinegar followed by a replacement pint (from a different keg) of another delightfully putrid 'ale'. I went back to the bar for a second time in 20 minutes (they like to make you wait) in order to get a refund having been served 2 duds in a row and the staff argued with me that I can't get my money back, despite several of them admitting that it smelt like a bottle of Sarson's. Eventually I had to settle for a lager. To top it off there has not been a single apology in sight on any of the three occasions this has happened so I won't be going back.

The clientèle are also delightful. I witnessed a ingenious game of 'lets throw bottles at people' in the garden followed by a quick round of 'get in the police van you crazy woman'. Definitely avoid this place and save your money. You can recreate the atmosphere at home by smashing glasses on the floor and punching your friends while drinking a refreshing pint of malt vinegar to the tune of loud annoying music. 10/10 for wasting my time, ruining my night and making...
