The interior is divided into three sections, though there are no doors between. All are served by the central octagonal bar.	It's divided into two rooms inside, with three handpumps on each bar. One also has a piano. Tables are large and wooden, with flowers on in small vases.

The decor has a sort of faded-glamour feel, with black pleather-and-velvet banquettes beneath huge cut-glass-style light fittings. Candle wax dribbles artfully down an exposed-brick feature wall, and a large Renoir print hangs above the doorway dividing two of the sections. Black lino covers the floor, heavily worn in places to reveal wooden boards beneath. The effect is slightly spoiled by a collection of cartoonish Guinness advertising posters mounted on a clumsily-finished gantry.	On our Sunday afternoon visit as part of the September 2010 [[Category 38 Bus Route Pub Crawl\|38 bus route pub crawl]], there were three real ales on offer, duplicated on each bar; Moorhouse Black Cat, Westgate Sun Dance, and Keltek King. They also had Budvar on tap. Large screens in both rooms were showing football with the sound turned up loud.

[[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday afternoon in September 2019. Arriving a little before 5pm, I was the only customer. Rock/metal was playing, a little louder than ideal for conversation. A half of lime and soda was 50p.	As of September 2010, food is served noon-2:30pm and 5:30pm-10pm Mon-Fri; noon-10pm Sat; and noon-8pm Sun <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5020659422/ photo of menu]</small>.

They aren't doing food or real ale at the moment, but intend to once the refurbishment is complete.	Accessibility: Can't remember if there was a step to get in. There's a step down inside the gents' toilet which is a bit of a surprise if you're not expecting it.

Accessibility: A small step to get in, maybe a couple of inches. No steps to the ladies' once you're in, but the door is quite heavy.
