So this place yh its bad boy, no joke I'm not a comedian yh so there's no jokes coming. A bartender called Shezra (not related) was like "yo come here for a drink..." I was like " I dunno." But he was like "nar trust me you gotta come here." So I went there and I was like "why you bring me here???'" little did I know that it's a hidden gem, I'm being honest Indiana Jones couldn't find this gem and his all about finding stuff. Like stuff that melts your face, to this day I've never found the covenant... In other words this place is pretty nice would definitely go again.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Good place to meet up for a drink and a burger before a match at either Welford Road or King Power if you don't mind a bit more of a walk Grace Road too.

One of the best pubs in Leicester, variety of customers from students and match days fans. Cook hot food, fast service and lovely beer garden. One 💯 return

Burger and drink Tuesday, what a burger it was! Absolutely epic. I used to go regularly when I was working at one of the student accomodations near by so it was good to see the manager still there.Back to the food, I ordered cheeseburger with double patty's, (you can have up to 4!!) Added bacon. Having been unimpressed with burgers - I had not eaten a pub burger in about a year, this was one of the best burgers I've eaten in a long long long time.The wings unfortunately were either overcooked or reheated, we ordered two different ones but both had the same overcooked / reheated taste. Won't be ordering them again any time soon.Atmosphere is always fantastic in this place, they have a pool table too! Looking forward to trying new dishes, see you again soon Bowling Green.

Great pub and a real tardis once inside but still with a cosy and welcoming feel. Amazing selection of drinks offers and good food. Lots of TVs to show multiple sports and a lovely outside courtyard, a rarity in a city centre. A really good atmosphere and the staff are all friendly and chatty.

A really pleasant visit. I was served by the super friendly and helpful Maxine, who laughed and joked with me and made conversation which was nice since I was sitting solo.The food was hot, served quickly and as I’d expect for local pub grub and not overpriced.The pub atmosphere is cosy & rustic, with low beamed ceilings, tastefully painted walls and lots of books and crannies for seating.I would definitely return during a lunch hour.
