Pros:

• "It's a great place to have a drink and think about all the generations of drinkers that have been there before you."

• "Last night it was a little quiet, which exposed the slightly tired decor."
• "Overall impression was of really poor hygiene the men's toilets were dirty and obviously not maintained as the main toilet flush was broken and had been for some time."
