Once
the most renowned of the three pubs in this group (Woodies and the
New Inn being the other two) it was famous for its sporting memorabilia
and the crush at the bar.
A
cosy, traditional pub with a lively clientele was too much of a
target for the brewers and in came the word - makeover.
Don't
panic
Don’t panic though it could have been a lot worse, the design is
supposed to appeal to "locals", students and those searching for
a coffee bar feel.
So
there is some traditional panelling, some bright colours and bare
wood and a couple of quieter carpeted corners. It seems that the
total look is less than the sum of the parts yet the pub remains
popular and the beer is good.
After
all that is the main point of a pub. Drinkers still travel to the
"shoes" as a single destination as well as part of the Headingley
run.
