The City Arms
The City Arms, previously known as the University & City Arms, has had a rich history, transitioning from a successful Firkin brew pub to a 'Scream' pub serving only keg beer. Now, it has returned to its roots, offering real ale to its patrons. The pub has a dedicated pool room, which interestingly, was once the location of the brewery. The bar area is vibrant and lively, featuring a variety of machines and brightly-colored sofas and chairs, creating a welcoming atmosphere for its predominantly student clientele. The pub has a strict policy of not admitting anyone under the age of 18. In addition to its drink offerings, the City Arms serves inexpensive food throughout the day, catering to the budget-conscious student population. While the pub does not have a garden, it does have a pavement patio. Over time, this outdoor space has been increasingly enclosed, providing a unique, semi-outdoor seating area for patrons to enjoy.
