Opened in 2004 in two former retail premises, this large pub is a popular venue for students. The decor is basic, with much bare wood evident throughout. The rear of the pub houses a dedicated games area, where pool tables, pinball and table football can be found. DJs perform at weekends and occasional live music is hosted.
