it's the pub i go to every other day. not close to being my local but it fits what i am looking for currently. cheap pints, geezers but not weird ones usually, and enough students for a good time. my favourite memory in there is a cold october evening just before halloween, the pub was packed but not of the usual lot. it was a gaggle of french students on a weekend away. there was about 30 of them and they were all in blue stripes. they sloshed around the pub like they owned the place but they were nice. i ended up joining them when they belted the French national anthem at some point in the night while my friends sat and laughed. we left soon after that. for a party that was half as fun as the southsider that day.
