Its a funny place is Harrisons.

 

Me and the OH like it, it's got a bit of character and does some good beers (Brooklyn Lager on draft which is a rarity in town).

 

The thing is no one seems to be going in. Everytime I've been in there it's nigh on empty. I don't know why, it's not cheap but not many places are in town.

 

Maybe they need a bit of a theme, live music, comedy or something to get people off West St and in.

 

Just hope it doesn't close.

You're right. I've only been in once. It wasn't that busy and I didn't stay long. I had a swift half of one of Toad Brewery's bitters (from Doncaster) - which was nice to see (though not to drink).

 

The place felt like it was neither one thing nor another. It wasn't really a real ale and continental lagers place, though it could be without changing too much. It's more like a 1980s idea of a stylish bar. It's sort of all right, but no USP as the marketing people say. People don't walk past it that much so they forget it's there as it has no identity. An 'OK' bar would do well on West St, but being off West St they've got to do something more.
