REOPENING 1ST MARCH

There is always a friendly atmosphere at this keenly-run community-focused pub located in the backstreets of the city. It boasts two main bars and a fabulous little snug. Unusually, a skittle alley to the rear has survived. The garden includes a children's play area.

A terraced pub still retaining a number of fittings from a refit in the 1930s - note the front leaded windows with 'Bar'. The front main bare boarded bar retains a solid counter that does look like it could be 1930s but the bar back is modern. There is a part leaded glass partition on the street side with a serving hatch/area which was the off sales - the door to it is situated behind the dart board. There is a 1920s bentwood bench on the front right. The bar has been opened-up to the rear room but benches placed across gaps in the wall do make the rear section almost separate. At the rear left is a completely separate bare boarded small room with door, the dado looks old, brick fireplace difficult to date, wooden partition wall around a staircase to the cellar, bare benches but the counter is a later addition. Outside gents' and ladies' but modernised. At the rear is a well used skittle alley with a modern bar.
