Next door to the Lyceum Theatre, the ornately faced building dates from 1903 and consists of a long narrow split level bar featuring ceiling mouldings in salmon pink with gilded highlights. At the end of the room mirrors set in marble effect surrounds reflect the light from the chandeliers. Upstairs is a large and plush comfortable restaurant with bar, whilst outside there's a large seating area along the Wellington Street frontage. The pub was last refurbed in autumn 2023.
Both levels of the bar have banks of handpumps but not all beers are duplicated and there are usually some interesting offerings in addition to the usual banker brands.
There is a wide food menu including bar snacks, sandwiches, Sunday roasts, burgers, pies, and other pub favourites. Food options include takeaway and delivery as well as eating in the pub.
The site seems to have lost its swing-signage following the post-refurb reopening in Nov 2023. Further updates welcome.
