Formerly the General Havelock (and more recently Zeon Defteros), this is a now a cocktail bar and has been refurbished as such. No real ale.
Rebuilt in the 1930s it retains a lot of its original fittings. The splendid Art Deco terrazzo floor was exposed in 2011 after years of being covered by tiles. There are three lobbies – front, left hand side (disused) and rear and all have floor to ceiling (check – might be to two-thirds height?) inter-war tiled walls with a row of brown tiled and another of a zigzag pattern towards the top. Almost a U-shaped open plan layout (it would be good to see the original plans) the bar counter appears to be in its original position but is modern with a copper top and the bar back has a stainless steel main shelf, some glass shelves (60’s?) and has lost a lot of lower shelving to fridges. The room / area at the rear has a wooden floor probably added over more terrazzo floor. All the fixed seating could be 1930s (or possibly early post war) and the wood surround of fireplaces also looks old but with modern interiors. Both ladies and gents’ retain their full height original tiled walls and tiled floors but the black marble urinal looks modern. Opens at 4 Mon to Thu.
