I’m constantly surprised by how much I enjoy this bar. This is a proper rock bar and many of the people that go are of the Goth persuasion and many of the bar staff have tattoos. One of the bar staff affectionately known as ‘the alien’ has a tattoo on his shaved head. Anyway while this isn’t exactly my scene, the drink is ridiculously cheap – the majority of drinks won’t cost you more than £2! A house favourite is a John Daniels and Coke at a bargain basement price of £1.50. It’s also really easy to get served quickly at the bar, as while the Goths in front of you are pondering their depression, you can slip in front of them and order your drink! The music is also pretty decent with a good mixture of head banging teenage angst rock - think Rage Against the Machine and System of the Down to the classic rock of the Doors, Stones etc. Apart from the obvious but not overwhelming Goth/rocker presence there is also a large student contingent including quite a few hot student girls. The downstairs bar has a juke box – a nice touch in a pub culture where sadly the jukebox is vanishing! Upstairs you can mosh about to the rock music if you feel so inclined or you can admire the hot student girls - one of whom was dressed in a sexy Buffy the Vampire Slayer style outfit last time I was there! It’s free to get in, open until 3, the drinks are cheap, you can either drink downstairs or go upstairs and dance (if you’re into that sort of thing), and there’s student talent - what more do you want?
