City centre pub taking on a Gothic theme with elements of alchemy, dungeons and medieval times. On three levels, with basement and 1st floor bars but only fully utilised at busy times. The pub name, Pit & Pendulum, is taken from the title of an 1842 short story by American writer Edgar Allen Poe, which details the torment of a victim of the Spanish Inquisition.
