They do have a small TV that they show snooker, football etc on. There are no real alternatives in the town so we are stuck with this place if you want to play snooker. There are some arcade machines in the place which make random noise and can disturb you whilst your trying to play on a quiet day.

Being different is certainly a good thing and this place really make it work to their advantage. The atmosphere here is always good and the decor is excellent too and it all makes for a really wholesome pub experience. The thing I enjoy most about this pub is the range of beers on offer, they have real ales and bottles of beer from all around the world and I felt it was my duty to try as many of these as possible and I can safely say it made for a good time. The crowd in here tend to be older but this doesn't affect the atmosphere it just means that rather than having a rowdy bunch of students you have a rowdy bunch of middle aged men and the occasional drunken fool like me lounging around in the corner.

Not the best place to go for a quiet drink after work as it has been a bit colourful in there in the past with the odd disturbance not unusual at times.

So all in all no a lot to offer, the music is ok and the staff are fine. Not recomended, sorry Anfield, but when you all dressed up you want somewhere to go and other than a meeting place I cant see any atraction.
