- Fancyapint.com:

The light, airy main bar, helped by a large skylight and several fans, is dominated by a bar in the middle of the room with most of the seating towards the back. The décor is simple, but feels warm, and from a cursory glance at the walls we spotted an interesting array of pictures, from work by Salvador Dali to a photo of the Rat Pack. Ol' Blue Eyes and co. also look down from a picture in the compact function room upstairs.

Fancyapint's review:

This is certainly one of the oddest pubs you'll ever drink in and it's a real treat. Once inside, you encounter an Aladdin's cave of royal/celebrity photos (including a shrine to George Best), glass cabinets and generally enough gee-gaws to fill every gift shop in Blackpool, Brighton and Bournemouth. Even the ceiling is covered in plates in display cases. As for the beers, there's not a huge selection - just as well as the pub is intoxicating enough in itself - but there's a selection of decent, hand-pumped ales and a couple of ciders. It's a friendly place too and its quirky reputation means it's on the itinerary of many a tourist, but an influx of newcomers does nothing to upset the ambience. If all that isn't enough for you, the pub also is home to the Handlebar Club - which is probably why it has Guy Gibson's log book in a display case by the bar open at his log for the Dambusters raid. History, celebrity, royalty, eccentricity and a decent pint all in the same spot - excellent.
