17-19 Market Street, City Centre, Leicester, LE1 6DN (View on Google Map)

A large pub on two floors linked by a central feature staircase. This pub is on its ninth different identity since it originally opened in 1997. Reopened as an Irish-style pub in July 2023. But little effort has been made on the interior decor - just plenty of green paintwork. Piped pop music can be loud. No food.

Historic Interest

Formerly a long-established stationery shop 'Midland Educational', converted to a pub by Morland's Brewery ('Bar Beristo') in 1997. To Mansfield Brewery in 1999 and reopened as 'T P Woods & Co'; then renamed 'Parody' in 2002. It became 'Reynard' in 2009, when real ale was re-introduced. Acquired by Cameron's Brewery of Hartlepool in 2018 and reopened as Head of Steam on 5 April 2018. Reopened as Sanctuary on 1 March 2019; but this closed on 5 May 2019. It was Texas Steakhouse between May and October 2019. Reopened as 'Olivia's Townhouse' in July 2021.
