This Pub is Permanently Closed

Large, modern estate pub with one bar that falls naturally into three sections. One wall is covered by old vinyl records, another holds a small library of modern fiction. Lynda the royal python has a corner to himself. There are more pub games that you can throw a Jenga block at. There's a comedy club held bi-monthly on Thursday when there is a charge for entry. The landlord is very keen on his real ales. Not a typical Luton pub.
