No live music on the Thursday i was in. DJ playing decent music and a couple of decent pinball machines.

Great pub, been going since 2007. Easy to see why anyone into rock and metal music would want to become a regular. It has a pool table, which is always good, and several pinball machines! Staff are friendly too. Owner Jason is very friendly, he DJs Friday & Saturday nights and will play requests and chat with customers if they like! All in all just a great rock pub!

Archetypal Rockers' pub hidden away behind the Bankers Draft that can hardly be described as a quiet place to go for a drink. One long room along the bar with dim lighting and loud music. Pool table up at the top on a stage where live bands sometiems play. Was pretty packed on a Saturday night. It's better than most pubs of its kind on the real ale front, Black Sheep, London Pride and Kelham Island Easy Rider on my last visit. The latter was very quaffable and all in all it's a friendly pub as these often are. Not a must visit and not one for a quiet pint but it's worth popping in for a change, even if it's not your type of pub.

A generous rating judging by previous reviews; this is very much a 'rock' pub . There are a couple of standard ales on cask (pride, black sheep, landlord). There's a Henry Ford-like quality to the adverts on the walls for the music nights they do - 'any genre as long as its rock' kind of thing. Not my bag but popular nonetheless.

Fine place and good time was had by all!! This is our new watering hole and there are 14 of us. never been made to feel so welcome and the staff are the friendliest ever! It gets jammed at weekends with a real good mix of folks, and I have to say that Jason the boss/DJ really did play EVERYTHING I asked for and that was a big list! All the staff were so nice and they even rang us taxis at the end of the night to get us to Corp as we were too drunk to walk!!!!

Well, the toilets have been sorted - they now have chalk boards so you can leave comments / general drunken scrawl !
Rock karaoke on monday nights(that is amazing) fresh sandwiches available during the week.
More real ale than you can shake a stick at - what more can you ask for ?
Have rated it as a "9" as there is always some room for improvement.

Dove and Rainbow has undergone major facelift and is now not the dirty smelly tramp infested hole it was 3 months ago.....its clean and has ten real ales on, and great staff. The horrid sulky goth barmaids are long gone, and the clientele are very much improved, no dodgy drug dealers or people selling stolen laptops...its now a good city centre circuit pub as well as having live music, rock discos, pinball machines, and painted in gorgeous cool light purple and black.....love it to bits.....spending a lot of time here now...

This place has just re-opened under new management and is miles better than before - no pool table, no kids, just a great relaxed atmosphere. The emphasis is still very much on rock/alternative music, but not so dark and heavy to put off your average punter, and they've started doing real ale too. I first went in here a few months ago and swore never to return - it was dark, dingy and unwelcoming. Amazing what a lick of paint and some friendly bar staff can do for a pub - not to mention the great ale on offer! Toilets still need a bit of TLC though!!

Alternative pub -punks/goths/skins/skaters/rockers would feel welcome here, but I saw a steady stream of people from the bankers draft next door in there too. Didn't see any kids in there but some hanging round the Square outside(avoiding the chavs perhaps?). Great jukebox for the crowd that go there, plus dj's fri/sat night, open mike acoustic music night sunday when I was there, movie quiz wednesday. cheap drinks for a town centre pub, friendly staff, but toilets a bit minging.
