Visited recently to watch some sport on their massive screens and found the whole place to have received a massive re-vamp. To be fair, it really needed it but I have mixed feelings about it. The interior previously was the non-descript light wood of all Scream pubs around the country and felt a bit of a 2002 throwback with an emphasis on games machines and pool tables more than seating areas and attractive decor. The re-vamp makes it feel like a Tunisian Wetherspoons! It's still a Scream pub but there are lots of lamps hanging from the ceiling, a large maroon divide at the front which if anything restricts the seating for watching matches and toilet doors painted to look like book cases. The biggest thing though that hits you is the darkness of the place - it feels like a stoner students bedroom with the curtains still shut and feels quite claustrophobic. Better selection of beers on tap though including the posh fruit beer Fruli and I also notice they now have Sky as well as Setanta.
I don't mind the changes, but I'll like them even more if it scares away the Carling lager chav brigade who come here for the football
