As a local pub goes, it's quite good. But I'm here mainly to review the Argyle Bar club sandwich (which I used to LOVE). Guys, what happened? My first gripe is that they placed the sandwich on a panini press with the lettuce inside. Ughhhhh. This made the lettuce all soggy and inedible. Second, there also used to be cheese on the sandwich, which although not a typical item on a club sandwich, I thought this was an excellent addition. Third, what happened to the skinny frites? Perhaps it was the time of the week/year and they were out. Either way, my personal preference was the skinny fries, cheese and toasted bread. I'll still frequent the Argyle, since it is my local and as far as drinks and atmosphere go, it's great. However, i'll be hesitant to order my favourite club sandwich again.
At least they have burgers! -

Lovely pub for a drink. We popped in here tonight to meet friends and and watch the European Cup final. A very nice evening it was too. An excellent comfortable space. Very nice atmosphere here. Very good staff too. We appreciated the help from the very pleasant young man who was very helpful. We wandered off into the evening very satisfied with our drinks, the amiable pub atmosphere and the inspiring win by the often unlucky Portuguese.

I was waiting a while to re-review this place to see how the recent new ownership and renovations sat with me, due the length of time I have been coming here and I am a fussy sort about pubs changing..... and well tbh I love the place. The pub is now under the same ownership umbrella as the brass monkey pubs, but has a very different vibe for the better I might add.
The renovations have really made a difference to the place. No more broom handle propping up the fan in the gents... actually I kinda miss that. The new managers and staff are friendly and well informed in terms of booze. On that note they do keep a well stocked bar here with lots of vodka etc and pints available. No food on offer but they do keep a fine line crisps and other bar snacks. :D -

This is a great bar, well worth a visit. Upstairs is pretty chill axed, shows live sports, and a decent back bar. Staff are friendly with good banter.
They have started shifting a lot more ale, which means they can make the use of their 3 taps, which is complimented by an awesome selection of bottled beers. Stacks of daily papers and board games, with a good mix of locals. Don't be put off of it looks full of students, that's not the case at all,
Downstairs Cellar Monkey is good at weekends , good music and not particularly judgemental! Thursday night pub quiz starts at 7..
