Walked in at 8pm on a Saturday night, atmosphere non existent. Decided to give the benefit of the doubt and approached the bar. Asked for a diet coke or Pepsi, whatever they had, to be told they had run out of soft drinks. Wait.. all was not lost, they had some Pepsi Max. A warm 2l bottle was presented from under the bar as ice was hand scooped into a pint glass.... "Has that come from the fridge?" we enquired. "Yes?" Came the hesitant response from barkeep no1. "Are you sure?" We double checked. "No" Replied barkeep no2. The lack of atmosphere and lack of ability to provide the most basic of soft drinks let alone a straight answer cut our visit short. Can't comment on food, would suggest the lack of atmosphere at 8pm on a Saturday speaks volumes. Can't imagine we'll bother trying again. 20 mins late we found ourselves at Hickory's waiting with numerous others for a table.
