The original 18th-century building included the Apollo Concert Room on the first floor, which is now a bar and function room, while the downstairs bar is divided into a number of attractive drinking areas. Five changing real ales are served, and an extensive a la carte and set menu is available throughout the day, with roasts on Sundays. The beer garden continues out onto the Green, with a view of the Old Sessions House and the Marx Memorial Library.

Rebuilt c.1882. Two rooms are separated by a partition with a wide doorway – notice the re-siting of old snob screens above the doorway. It does retain the original counter, and the original bar back fitting is there with some modern additions. The partitions appear to have been moved, with the one separating a room at the rear looks original. The room has some old dado panelling and a Victorian wood surround fireplace. There is a lot of etched glass, with some replacements. The Apollo Room upstairs was a theatre in the past and is very plain.
