No draught beer here. None of the taps on the bar counter were operational on my visit. Bottled beers from the fridges behind the bar counter.

Entrance is in the side street away from the main road so feels like the rear of the premises rather than the front. Old industrial flooring with the bar counter on the left-hand wall with flashing lights on its frontage. Mish mash of furniture, free standing TV on the bar counter. There is a function room off the right-hand side with lots of regular tables and chairs and a DJ that was setting up for later, on my mid evening visit. One of the most basic pubs I have ever visited, but at date of my visit nice to see it has re-opened after a long closure. Some maybe squatters occupying the space upstairs and loitering on the roof terrace in a scene as I left that was reminiscent of an urban Deliverance.
