Really good vibe! They have a lot TVs for sports, a great beer selection and really good food. As you can tell from the picture, I didn’t even get a picture from before it smelled so good. The wings and fish and chips were good and they were playing great music. Good little bar to get a quick bar bite and some drinks in - Nicholas Hester
