Welcoming traditional community hostelry on a popular eating and drinking street close to the bus station and between the city centre and railway station. The pub benefits from a range of pub games with a dart board and bagatelle. There is a real fire in colder weather. Four hand pumps serve a rotating range of guest beers. These come from the Admiral list - one local beer per week allowed out of tie (not via SIBA). Quiz every Wednesday night. Chester & South Clwyd branch Pub of the Year 2022.

Asset of Community Value

Mock Tudor exterior and retains a number of good Birkenhead Brewery etched windows (some original). Retains two rooms but the left hand one could have been two rooms original as it retains two 1930s fireplaces and right hand one has 'Bar Parlour' and 'Smoke Room' windows. There is a stone and 1930s brick fireplace with a stone (garland?), some 1930s fixed seating, inter-war leaded 'Lavatory' window in gents' door but the bar counter looks modern. Opens at 4pm.
