This pub appears to have been closed down by the police and/or council a couple of weeks ago due to noise and antisocial behaviour. It already looks very run down.

Called in here for my first time. It is like a cross between Ye Olde Man and Scythe and The Alma both in Bolton. The stout wasn't in good condition so I played it safe by supping Guinness. Rockers' pub that has live bands on by all accounts. The pool table has definitely seen better days. It is rough and ready but I thought it was okay.
I'll not be in any particular rush to visit Warrington anytime soon.

Back in here last Thursday - ales now £2 pint...but you'll struggle to find a decent one amongst the usually six offered - needs to up it's game on the real ales...

A rough and ready town pub that has pool table, live bands, quizzes etc. Brews were more mainstreamish and not memorable - to the point that I forgot what I had there.

spit and sawdust pub with sticky tables and a few ales...always feel as if we've disturbed the local crowd in there
|
Still �1.80 - beer improving after rocky period. Bob Rock on a Friday plays good tunes.

Unremarkable in appearance and character consisting mainly of one narrow long room with a smaller seating area off to the side. Beers hit and miss, the best being a quaffable ale from Rudgate called King Knut , the others either insipid or poorly kept. Whilst i was there a group of under age drinkers were being told off by the barmaid for various infringements, not something i like too see in a pub, they shouldn't have been there in the first place. On the plus side all the ales were priced at �1.80!

Recently lost their cellarman - quality has dipped - need to sort it out!

Another changed pub from its days as the Cross Keys. Great for music (loud), real ales (great selection, quality and prices) and service (knowledgeable manager and staff). Smoking area to the rear heavily utilised. A must visit pub (if you can get in!)
|
Still only �1.80 a pint... Last night there were three Ossett Brewery beers on (Silver Knight, Sunrise and another), a Stout from Northants, Hoskins Mild and Black Sheep.

A proper beer-drinkers pub, nothing fancy - just a friendly welcome, an excellent choice of real ales and exactly the sort of interior one would expect from the name. The barman recommended the Lees 'Game On', and nice it was too. A local rock venue as well from the look of the many posters around the walls.
