I popped in there one night on the way to 12 Bar to get some emergency stogies. The regulars gave me strange looks and the bar staff were almost snarling (this was before I ordered anything). Are you sure it is ok LS?
I lived near it for a couple of years and used to go there a fair bit. Still pop in there a couple of times a month, usually hit up the Graps and Westcott Place WMC on a mini pub crawl before goingg to a mates in Read Street for poker.
The regulars look a bit nasty, but i've never felt uncomfortable, or seen any trouble there. Plus there is a good jukebox and cheap pool table
