Rat & Parrot

Part of the impressive – but still establishing – Queen's Square development, this pub, like it's more central namesake, is huge. It's one of those neo–classic mega–boozers that keep springing up everywhere. Standing at the top of the stairwell I'm thinking, 'if I was as pissed as I am now and a couple of feet taller I could quite easily topple over the banister and fall three floors to my death.' – Lily Savage, it's only a matter of time –. Still, not a Lily hang out really. The usual mixed crowd of students, trendies and townies getting bevied 'til closing.
