The name immediately tells you that there are a number of students among its clientele – in fact, the pub is but a stone’s throw from the centre of academia in the city.
It certainly has the most imposing entrance – since the main building was once a bank. Over the years, it has also absorbed the structure next door, which was once a Masonic temple – that’s given away by the ritualistic designs on the exterior stonework. What the bankers and the Masons would have thought of its present-day use is anyone’s guess, but you can almost hear the fluttering of astonished but long-departed raised eyebrows.
It's a very popular, and a lively, meeting place, but that doesn’t mean that its brash, or unwelcoming. It’s certainly a popular pub, with a widely ranging clientele. The staff are on their toes, meals are served efficiently, and the whole ship seems to run very smoothly. It isn’t a place where, after about 4pm, you go for a quiet conversation and a little light philosophical chit-chat, but it’s very much a convivial space. There’s a beer garden to one side.
