Anchor Tap

An independent pub, quite fitting for this backstreet backdrop. £2.50 a pint even the barman is on the booze. out the back is an beer garden fitted snugly inside the concrete jungle around the pub. The place has several odd rooms dotted about leading one around in a complex labyrinth of lounges, seated areas and finding the toilets can be somewhat of a mission. However it serves very favourably as a traditional tavern despite the hushing of the small crowd of regulars upon entrance. Possibly one of the strangest style of pubs in the area but with such complexity comes insecurity. It doesn’t fare well as a location for entertainment - maybe instead the passing of an inconspicuous suitcase or to discuss well laid plans to take over the world…

Overall a rather uninviting very old style independent pub offering a sedated charm for those that are looking for the most quiet of drinks on a Friday evening in the middle of the city - 6/10
