Have to say I've missed out on that experience so far.
Used to frequent Ikon & Diva when it first opened, and Brannigans when it was around. Brannigans seemed to let the people in that Ikon & Beaver wouldn't, so thus had a extraordinary level of low life.
I tend to call it the White Fight these days. Did pop in there for a going home pint on a recent Friday night, and the place was dead. Barmaid was so pleased to see me, she didn't want me to go.
I would say the Hillside is a better all round pub. Holds a beer and music festival in the summer...
