It's a proper pub with proper beer, proper seating and (gasp) proper (friendly) locals to dilute the student population!
A recent overhaul of the menu has seen prices fall and yet the quality of the burgers has to be experienced to be believed. The money you save can be well-spent on some of the fine guest ales (recent examples include Summer Lightning, London Pride, Deuchars IPA) that are usually available.
All televised football is shown on a big-screen projector upstairs and on a small TV in the bar and the upstairs room also boasts a pool table and darts boards.
A recent refubishment has seen a increase in available seating downstairs while retaining the homely, wooden feel.
Best of all is the way in which the student community and locals mix well and the friendly atmosphere encouraged by the cheerful Geordie landlord.
