RIP: The Apollo

“Although this place doesn’t seem entirely sure of the market it’s aiming for, it’s certainly a step up from it’s previous incarnation. It’s a sort of cross between an All Bar One and a real ale pub. The beer is good and the service is polite, prompt and friendly. On our last visit, though, it seems to have settled in and picked up a regular clientele, so they know why they’re there, which is good. It’s not a bad place and certainly better than some of the “trendier” places in the area. It’s also seems to be less crowded than the pubs nearer the station.”
