Seen by day, the Old Queen’s Head is a large, attractive pub, its big fireplace surrounded by upholstered sofas and gilt-framed portraits in a church-like interior. None of this will be visible most evenings, when young, urban musos gather in force around pints of Guinness or bottles of lager.
A dozen cocktails are also offered – nothing too complicated or sophisticated, but nice enough – as well as around ten wines at fair prices. The food is pretty manly (burgers, steak baguettes and so on), but otherwise it’s a good cosmopolitan mix, with the crowd on any given night split roughly 50-50 between girls and boys.
On weekend nights, everyone spills outside. Entertainment is generally of the up-for-it DJ variety (think of it as a spruced-up, expanded Social), though there’s also a fine folk series staged in the comfortable upstairs room.
