| Went there last couple of nights, still no decent bitter, but at least Guinness and lager are now drinkable (and still cheap). Still very much rough and ready, but pool table in good condition and, if you take the time to look, the carved wood and ceiling paintings evoke the era when pubs were things of beauty. Drinking there brings a sense of sadness, but also a hope that places like this will be restored. pablos13 - 24 Sep 2005 00:11 |
| I used to work here a few years ago. Sadly, since then the owners (who have changed twice) have scrapped handpumps and food altogether (along with other bottled beers - Newcastle brown, Special brew - that have been replaced with alcopops) and concentrated on selling industrial quantities of lager cheaply (�1.20 a pint). While this makes for a cheap night, it also seems to bring out the violent tendencies in some of it's weekend drinkers and it's best to keep an eye open and to be aware that trouble is never too far away. Drinking here in the daytime is a different experience altogether - the emptiness and lone drinkers expose the bare bones of the place, making it seriously depressing. A shame, as the ouside of the pub is quite attractive (over a century old) and most people can remember that, whilst always a bit rough, it has fallen a long way in recent years. pablos13 - 7 Aug 2005 22:58 |
