Pavilion

Not known for nothing as 'The Big House', this three-storey bar has long been a favourite with students and locals. Older drinkers prefer the lower bar and TV sport while more sprightly types gallop upstairs for a bite of food or some live music in the middle bar or a game of pool at the top of the house. With DJs playing classic tracks at the weekends, free entertainment Thurs-Sun in Public Bar and great bar food served to 9pm daily, it's no surprise that its sister bar is the equally eclectic legend that is Lavery's.
