This classic pub is full of iconic features. An island bar
dominates the room with handpumps on every side which can be a bit inconvenient
when deciding what to order. Raised tables are placed next to the windows to allow
office workers a view of the outside world while relaxing with a pint and a pie
(of which I must get round to trying!). The remaining space is taken up by
raised tables, huge paintings with golden frames and chandeliers hanging down
from the ceiling. Upstairs is a balcony with regular seating while behind this
lies a small theatre that runs a regular programme. Back downstairs, there’s
more seating designed for intimate conversation, and there’s even a small courtyard
if you feel the need for a puff. And just through here you can exit via the
rear and end up in a completely different pub on the opposite side of the
alleyway.
