Extremely rude staff. I usually wouldn't be bothered enough to write a review but one goes to a pub to relax and enjoy their evening and it is next to impossible to do this here due to the extremely rude and snobby staff. A word of warning- do NOT get the wine. Should have known better I guess, but when I complained, the bar waitress said that was just the way it was, so I purchased another beer instead. Should have left. Avoid this place unless you like being put down, enjoy poor wine, or like snobby folks behind the bar.

New management or owners have this pub. It used to be nasty; now it's clean wth good friendly service. I reccomend it to all!
