Formerly the University & City Arms and then a successful Firkin brew pub and then a keg only 'Scream' pub, the City Arms now has real ale again. There is a pool room where the brewery once was, and the bar area has lots of machines amongst its brightly-coloured sofas and chairs; the pub is very student orientated and admits no under 18s. Cheap food is served all day. There is no garden, just a pavement patio that has progressively been enclosed.
