A down and dirty bar where you can get a cheap pint, especially during their early evening happy hours. The place is decorated with toys and other sci-fi paraphernalia, so if you're a fan of Dr Who, Star Trek (there's an entire life size replica of the Enterprise A's bridge in here!), Star Wars, Transformers, etc, etc get yourself down there for a cheap pint and some pining over the 80s relics in the display cabinets.

Disgusting customer service and I'm honestly shocked considering the many positive experiences I've had here. Rest of the staff are great. Is it because I'm not in here every night that we are...
Read moreWent into this bar for my first time, I could not believe what I heard from the bar staff. As me and my friend received our drinks and sat down 10 minutes later my friend was cold and put his hood up, at this point the bar staff told him he wasn't allowed to put his hood up and to pull it down.
