It wasn't what we expected when walking into the place. It was an odd atmosphere with a hen do singing really loud. The place was fairly empty when we arrived. We were given a booth to sit in and that's where the magician came to perform glhis show. His tricks were good but it was very short. 10mins maybe. The music and hen do did make it hard to listen to the magician and keep focus. I expected the place to be a bit more upmarket. And i believe they could be. It's a bit run down, a bit dark and the toilets need serious attention. They were what you expect in a old pub after many customers had used them. As it was quite empty there I'm surprised they were so gross. Due to the co2 shortages all taps were off and we could get not buy bottles or spirits. Two Mexican beers were close to £9. Very expensive in my mind. Overall I liked the maginicans especially the ongoing performance at the raised table. I understand they have been going on for a while here so they must be doing something right, I just can't see why they can't make the place a bit more appealing on the eyes.

Used to have good live bands on the weekend but they've changed to karaoke. So unless you want to hear a bunch of kids song wonderwall then i wouldn't bother

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Terrible atmosphere, completely empty on a Saturday night, and staff that have clearly never worked in the service industry before. I've been to worse bars, but really not very many.
