In a paragraph
Old Queens Head is the Foregate Street Craft Union pub for value drinks, Sky and TNT sport, live entertainment and 02:00 closing every day.
What it's like
The black-and-white frontage is more traditional than the offer inside. This is a large, open Craft Union pub built around drink prices, screens and a late licence.
Value drinks, sport and late hours
Friendly staff, a lively crowd and well-kept beer are common positives. The room gets busy for sport and entertainment, so an afternoon pint and a midnight visit can feel like different pubs.
Worth knowing
It is good at affordable rounds and late sport, but offers little for food, outdoor space or quiet drinking. Pick it for the price and atmosphere, not because the frontage promises an old-world pub.
