Built in 1935, much extended in the 1970s and refurbished in 1998 there are now 5 distinct bars. The Oak Lounge has remained little changed since it opened in 1936 with its Art Deco glass-work, panelled walls, Irish Oak floor and the original Lloyd Loom tables and chairs. Having sold real ale for a number of years, the handpumps were moved to the Oak Lounge in 2016 and you will find up to four selling real ales, and occasionally a cider, from both Northern Ireland and Britain. From mid-evening you can sit down in the Oak Lounge and receive table service - something that's always happened here, but a rarity in pubs these days. Another rare survivor is the tiny room now called 'The Bunker' which was originally a ladies' snug and is accessed from a door at the end of the Jameson Street side of the building. Open daily it also retains old fittings and is served from a hatch to the side of the Oak Lounge. Sports TV is a big feature, along with traditional music, salsa classes, and a quiz.
The opening hours for the Oak Lounge are limited: 5pm - 11.30 weekdays and 5pm - 12.30 weekends (Saturday and Sunday). (Thanks to Mick Slaughter for the description.)
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Hidden away in the rear right of this large complex of bars are two rooms that retain fittings from 1935. The very stylish Oak Lounge retains its original wall-panelling with decorative strapping at the top all around the room, rustic beams and lovely Art Deco stained and leaded glass windows behind the bar. It has a recently restored original Irish Oak floor, a lot of the original furniture remains but the heavily carved bar counter front was installed in 1995. From mid-evening you can sit down and receive table service - something that's always happened here, but a rarity in pubs these days.

The ladies snug (which may have doubled as an off sales?) still remains but used as a store these days. It has an entrance on an alleyway just off Jameson Street. The tiled floor may be a replacement but the small room still retains the 1935 panelled walls and there is a flap across a doorway for service to the left of the oak Bar servery. There are 5 fold down plastic seats and people have had drinks in here occasionally in recent times. There are three small stained and leaded panels at the top of the exterior window.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 0 regular beers.
