| Possibly the only bar on Micklegate playing Radiohead and Pink Floyd on a Thursday night - or any night, come to that. That's enough to single it out from the crowd straight away! A two-tier, long and rectangular bar led through to a lounge in the back where the hippies were controlling the CD jukebox. I parked my arse on a barstool, tapped my feet to Radiohead and suddenly felt suicidal, despite a friendly banter with the barman. This is the trouble with CD jukeboxes. I mean, I like "OK Computer" as much as the next hip and trendy dude, but really, not all of the tracks put you in the mood for a knees-up. Still, Walkers gets at least 6 out of 10 for breaking the music mould on Micklegate. And for serving a good pint. | |||
