  • "What a great building this pub is located in. A former cinema that has been tastefully altered to accommodate a drinking place."

Cons:

  • "The central area of this beautiful old building was filled with scaffolding which was a shame."
  • "Fantastic building but as a pub lacked atmosphere. No windows in the main area made it dark and dingy."

  • "The building is beautiful but the scaffolding inside is ruining the atmosphere."
  • "It was quite dark inside and there was scaffolding inside the pub, due to a roof problem."

  • "The interior is striking and unique."

Cons:

  • "One bad point is that both ladies and gents toilets are up three floors of stairs."
