    I didn't eat here so I can't give a rating for food but it's a great place to gather, meet your people and have a drink and just have fun

    Great pub. Really cool inside with live performances on occasion. Nice outside sitting area, with heat lamps so it can be used year round. The bathrooms leave a little to be desired but they’re usable. Good place for a drink

    I had forgotton one very important aspect in my review.. what made my experience was the very best servers, Ingrid and Ivan, nothing was too much trouble for them..

    Lovely laid back bar stroke lounge. The drinks are ore student orientated beer and simple cocktails. The music is amazing ..good blend of old school hip hop and new beats. There is live music with open mic on a Wednesday which is well worth it. The bar is also dog friendly the staff really down to earth and do as much to make you feel welcome. There is plenty of sofas for a laid back experience..cone with friends or a group or come alone and make new friends! All in all a great lounge for chilling out and having a relaxed drink. There are also two pool tables as well.

    Great place to eat and meet up. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Has a function room and yes if you have a friendly word with the staff they will put on American football or whatever you want.
