Single dark room with lots of alcoves. The loud jukebox makes it a favourite with the older rock fans. Can get very boisterous at weekend evenings. Separate upstairs function room is used for the occasional live music sessions and is available for private hire. Operate a bar loyalty scheme - buy nine get one free.
