City Retreat

From the outside this place looks like a small but wide shoebox of a pub. Within it is an octagonal central layout with younger relaxed half-posh city boys and few women. There is light pop music played throughout but the place does feel warm and inviting. In the corner is a traditional bar with eaves overhanging the serving area and it is around £3 a pint. There is odd memorabilia filling the other corners and the toilets are downstairs. The place is noticeably filled with rich colours of red and with ales at the bar and gaming machines to accompany them the place matches the after-work drinker on the start of his monthly wage.

Overall it is far from novelty and stands as yet another traditional pub in a sea of others and as such remains an average 5/10
