Following an extensive refurbishment of the former Smiffy's bar, the Underdog opened its doors in September 2019. It is a large, single room, with a very high ceiling, wooden floors, and is furnished in a contemporary design. The long bar hosts five real ales, four ever-changing, and several keg lines including Key Keg alongside a varied selection of spirits. The bar welcomes dogs and children (check times restrictions) but not vaping.

"We have used all local traders and suppliers for the refurbishment All staff are local as are supplies as far as possible. We operate a no vaping policy to ensure that everyone enjoys their time in The Underdog."
