The interior consists of one large open-plan room with pool and table footy in the former shop area on the right. There are several sports TVs, and an interesting display of old photographs of Leicester. At the back is a partially covered courtyard/smoking area.

Historic Interest

This Victorian corner pub was run by the Oakland family in the 1880s. It was owned by the Beeston Brewery, which was taken over by Shipstones of Nottingham in 1922. The pub was extended in 1983 to incorporate the adjacent shop on the right. Under Greenalls' ownership, it was converted in December 1995 to an Irish theme pub (Shifty O'Shea's), and badged as 'Dublin Pub Co'. Into Scottish & Newcastle ownership, the pub was refurbished and reverted to its original name.
