The Archway Tavern

"Not surprising this place was near empty on a Saturday given their customer service (or more specifically lack of it). A group of us visited, buying drinks with the intention to stay for the evening. A couple of drinks in, one person in our group bought an aperol spritz which to our surprise came pre-mixed. Anyway (and unsurprisingly) it tasted disgusting: the prosecco in it had clearly gone off and tasted like a white wine left open and unrefrigerated for several days and had a strong, clearly off smell. Despite this, the owner/manager rudely insisted the drink was fine and offered to do nothing about it. Any ordinary pub would have apologised (or at a minimum brushed it off by saying “oh sorry you don’t like the taste”) and offered a new drink of choice, especially given we had purchased a large number of drinks and not complained once. Anyway, we promptly left and went somewhere more welcoming. A group of local customers lost over the owner/manager’s lack of service. Toilets could do with a clean too."

"Today I went to see "Various Artists" who were live at this venue. Great acoustics! Drinks were priced alright, though I'm a little better off than others financially, so make of that what you will. Probably gonna visit again."

"A beer after a visit to the market on a Saturday is a sweet joy. Sometimes they spoil it by having many stages with bands playing. The space in the pub is open but I can't speak to their ventilation. Their beer selection is good and local. Staff always helpful!"

"Mega expensive. Always find the bar staff less than welcoming also. For the prices they charging a friendly demeanor would go a long way. A one stop pub if you in the area."

"Beers were fairly spenny, though I guess that’s the same in most of this area. They weren’t the best either - the Guinness was a meh. They have live music on Mondays. The artists and the host were really good and so it’s worth a visit for that. Overall, just decent!"
