   Proper rock pub. The punters made me feel very welcome, the ladies behind the bar were friendly and the atmosphere was ecstatic. Bonus points for the decoration.

   Brilliant pub a proper little gem in the heart of Cas. Brill atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The bar staff are friendly and helpful. Quirky, rock and biker decor. Definitely one to visit if you like your rock music. Great for live music creating a lively vibe. The beer—top quality , and excellent value for money. Whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for an evening of tunes. Cash only but as long as you know that before no worries

   Small pub that always has some sort of rock band on most weekends. It looks shabby and run down but it's loved by the crowd it attracts. Always try and pay with cash but will take contactless (with a glare!)

   Pre-match drink, always a warm welcome. Regulars and strangers alike. The staff are friendly and the beer is well kept.

   Been going to the lion years at this point, the bar staff are on point, the enviroment is excellent and the live acts on a weekend definitely bring even more life to the place, would absolutely reccomend for any rocker that loves that welcome feeling

   It's a great place to hear up and coming groups When I was in my 20s and 30s I used to be my favourite pub because of all the brilliant music on the jukebox

   No frills real ale pub with live music. Don't be afraid to talk to the locals, they may look like the crew of the black pearl but they're genuine people.
