Popular city-centre pub, reputedly named after the crescent-shaped bar that runs through it. The decoration, following a summer 2021 refurbishment, is retains a traditional feel, including many original features. There are also a range of photographs of the pub in the early 20th Century, including many from the Miners' Gala. A mixture of local and student clientele contribute to a sociable and friendly atmosphere. It is notable for serving Draught Bass as part of a selection of well kept ales. To the rear is a large beer garden that offers both covered space and a fine view of the river and Old Elvet Bridge.
