This used to be a traditional (if grotty) boozer, but it's been refurbed within an inch of its life. It's become a weird mixture of stripped floors, dance music on the box, decent beers including Hoegaarden, Leffe, Staropramen and a selection of Belgian beers in bottles. A recent addition is a Friday afternoon barbecue - as good a reason for not going back to work as any!
