First visited : 26 December 2013
The King's is a fine Georgian building which would grace a nicer town. It is currently decorated with flags and the exterior lit up with spotlights at night to pleasing effect.
Inside it's rather disappointing, spacious but charmless. The bar staff are scruffy and so too are the clientele although I admit that Boxing Day might not be the most representative day I could have picked to visit. Incongruously there was a transvestite at the bar who seemed to be eyeing me up so I moved away rather quickly after being served.
There was also "entertainment" in the form of a karaoke singer working her way through some seventies pop classics at deafening volume although she didn't have much of an audience. The guys huddled round the three TV screens covering City vs Liverpool would clearly have preferred her to put a sock in it. Her vocal tone was alright but her phrasing was awful and before the end of her murder of "Whiskey In A Jar" I left.
