Great Irish pub. In Stoke-on-Trent it's a great place to de-stress and spend some nice moments. Nice atmosphere, often with live music. The pub is not large, but this is its advantage because it creates a nice, intimate atmosphere. The beer was good and the Guinness served very well.

This is such a nice pub and the staff are lovely! We popped in yesterday for a beer, which was spot on, really good. They were doing a Naan bag dinner thing, which looked cool and you got a free pint with your dinner ☺️ We didn’t have any food as we weren’t hungry but will definitely go back to try that sometime. Thanks so much for having us x

Not a good experience , I was served a pint in a glass covered with lipstick , asked them to pour me another pint as I had not drank anything from it, and there answer was we can pour it into another glass. Eventually with lots of protesting they did do another one in a fresh glass. Typical low quality pub behaviour. Not a good experience.
