The ground floor operates as a traditional pub serving quality ales and classic British fare.

Upstairs, the intimate theatre hosts everything from comedy nights to dramatic performances, making this venue a true cultural hub in the city center. The bar staff are knowledgeable about both the extensive drink selection and the building's fascinating history as a former joint stock bank. The kitchen serves elevated pub classics using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
