Went in last night for the first time and 1 pint turned into 5 (not very clever on a 'school night').\nFriendly Staff and a decent pint of Caley 80', although 'ales' were in limited supply generally. A leaning to artisan lagers on the guest pumps which may point to the fact it is (as others have said) actually a student hang out masqerading as an old mans pub.\nOriginal fixtures and fittings (B Listed from 1906) are wonderful but....and the 'but' has been coming...it isnt really an excuse for the whole place having a 'grubby' look and feel to it. You can be quaint and historic and also be clean (Diggers Bar/Athletic Arms being a prime example of a 'spotless' local).\nThis place needs a serious deep clean, including the toilets which were pretty shocking. That done, it would be a true gem.
