An outlet for the town centre scene, mainly serving 18 to 30 year age group. The low-ceilinged front area has an L-shaped layout, split up by low screens and small changes of level. The décor is predominantly dark grey but offset on two walls by narrow wooden slats and on one wall by vivid floral wallpaper. Steps at the back lead down to the 'Student Area' which has a pool table and more of a public bar feel. This in turn accesses 'The Yard' which is semi-open to the street and occupies a former hairdresser's premises. After a period when real ale availability was variable, two changing and generally interesting beers can be expected.Live local music every Wednesday.
