Hogs Head  

From the outside you would think it large inside, but instead you find a small drinking area on the level from the alley where the front entrance is (see photo to right). Here there is disabled access and a disabled toilet.

The bar area is small and could be difficult to negotiate with a wheelchair. The decor is all stained light wood including the floor, square tables and chairs and the bar itself. The long bar serves up to three guest ales, not all difficult to find ones if you catch my drift?

Situated in the front of the pub is a raised drinking are with a sofa and a couple of places to lean against. At the back of the pub on a lower level is the bakery. That's right, there is a bakery/pastry shop that sells sandwiches and baguettes and cakes to the shoppers in the open mall to the rear (see photo left).

The pub also opens early for coffee (9am) and food is served at most times until 9pm. The menu is standard for the Hogshead outlets, but is wholesome, if a little samey everywhere you go. The pub is situated off the main thoroughfare, but is close to the City Hall/Cathedral tram stops.

In the summer you can sit out back and watch the shoppers go about their business.
