And it's very pretty. An exciting range of condiments litter the place, good for augmenting your edibles. The food isn't anything spectacular, more like high class pub fare, but it does the job and is quite affordable. Drinks-wise this is very much catering to the current thrust of exotic beers, so if that's your thing you should definitely give it a try. There's a cozy downstairs area that can be booked, always a nice option for parties etc. However, for food or drink it's not the most thrilling visit if you're needing gluten free things.

They pride themselves on their beers and slow cooked food. Clerk's serves simple, tasty comfort food-pulled pork, ribs, mac'n'cheese, cheesy fries. (So okay, if you're veggie, you might not love it... ) During our visits we have enjoyed their tasty pulled pork sliders, burritos and deliciously messy nachos. Food is served in plastic 'diner-style' baskets and is hearty rather than pretty. They also have a lot of beer stuff going on. I'm not a beer drinker myself, but apparently their beers 'weren't all that' according to others that I was with. They have a range of tables and even had a whole downstairs section. The place is pretty busy, mostly with students and the service is friendly (if a little cheesy)! They have a nice mix of wooden tables etc but there is a kind of odd semi-sports bar theme. I reckon it would be better without the sports screens! Overall, Clerk's in a nice addition to the area. It's just new so I reckon it might improve with time. It's a good place to meet up with a few friends if you fancy something easy and near. Simple, tasty food in a handy location.

I find the one star review a bit harsh. I would give four stars but put five in to balance the one star one a bit. I find this bar to be nicely decorated and the staff was friendly.

The beer is very cheap, especially with the student discount (Pint of Estrella only 3 pounds!) I had a Mexican accompany me here and she said the food, which I haven't tried is "5.5 out of 10". The margeritas were okay but nothing special. Overall a 3.5 which is 4.5 until a couple more reviews come in.
