From outside, it looks pretty intimidating, with little light getting through the darkened and shuttered windows. Inside, the space itself is fairly atmospheric (not dodgy at all) and quite small, comprising the bar and about three leather banquette booths, with some other seating near the front, and a few high stools along the back wall. Decor heavily stresses an Americana theme, including a jukebox, rock artwork and several (well-antlered) animal heads mounted on the wall, though the mirrors behind the bar make clear the bar's Irish predecessors in an area once known for its Irish immigrant population. |

The beer selection is a little disappointing (there's no ale, except bottled Deuchars IPA), though there is Amstel and Guinness on draught along with a few other basics. House wine is perfectly drinkable, and they have a wine list which splits all their wines into three price categories ("cheap", "decent" and "good"). |

On the night [[Ewan]] visited, there was a pub quiz (mostly music-based), which is held on the last Wednesday of every month (starting 8pm, £1 per person, maximum six per team, cash prize). However, the place can get busy pretty quickly (often depending on the popularity of the gig upstairs) and you can sometimes need to get there early for a seat. |

There's no food available, only crisps. |
There's no food, and they'd even run out of crisps on [[Ewan]]'s most recent visit. However, they were willing to let me eat food there provided it was cold (i.e. not smelly). |
