Great pints, great music and a lovely central location for a pint. Haven't tried the food but the selection of drinks is decent and the atmosphere is lively but you can still chat

Lovely bar, great choice of pints and a fridge full of good beers. Surprised how quiet it was on a Friday early afternoon but will definitely be back. Classic old fashioned bar

Recently reopened, now run by boundary brewery. A classic old pub with a big range of beers from boundary plus guests and even imports from England. Service was good. Would definitely visit again.

Unfortunately in my most recent visit we were in on a very quiet night and just before closing time. Great selection of beers and just as well as our party included a beer reviewer! Been before several times before and usually very lively.
