In the past, there was surely only one reason anyone would come to this place and that was to get a drink after the pubs chuck out. A temple to crassitude, almost everything about this place lacks any sensibility - the booze on offer, the awful music on the crashy PA, the sticky floor and the clientele trying way too hard to have fun. We eventually left with ears ringing from the godawful PA and feeling far from refreshed. Now a few more nearby pubs have extended licences, the grounds for visiting here have become redundant.
