Having re-opened after a major re-fit in December 2014, with the most welcome addition of cask beer, a split level single room with bar counter at far corner. (The old layout and wood work including original bar counter dating back to its days as late Victorian theatre bar having been removed). DJ at weekends and many television screens. Handy for public transport interchange/buses and Metro system. 2018 the cask ale hand pulls were removed, and real ale is no longer sold.
