April 2026 feedback received, "There may be four handbills but on fairly regular visits, I’ve never seen more than two beers on. One is semi-permanently dedicated to a Seacider cider."

With a pub always present on the site (since 1850), it's a huge, corner pub in a lounge-style with lots of unusual decor (bordello baroque), a long wooden bar making up one side of a room divided into various levels with comfortable seats and tables plus a old-style table football machine.

With its late night opening, regular events, including a varied live music scene (upstairs), this is a lively place that has fastened onto a US theme in its bottled beer products and huge range of bourbon - beers from Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Half Acre, Goose Island, Stone Brewing and others all display the eclectic nature of the US craft beer scene.

The cask beer handpumps serving locally brewed beers (rotating each week) are found down the right-hand end of the bar. On keg you will find craft beers from the US, Brooklyn lager, Kona Big Wave, Lagunitas IPA and Stone Brewing amongst other regularly changing guests.

Pizza's daily from Alessio's Pizza. Happy Hour deals see their website for details - usually 4pm to 7pm but worth checking.

Pub operates an in-house 10% discount card scheme - apply at the bar. Swing dance sessions are held upstairs on Sunday afternoon, quiz on Mondays 8pm.
