Unfortunately, even though there were many things right I'll be avoiding this place. The service was impeccable, good beer, perfect lighting and lovely music. So what was wrong? A coven of aggressive women believing they ran the place because they'd booked a table. At their request the music, that I'd been enjoying, was turned off so they could conduct their meeting whilst sipping peppermint tea. I'd suggest a pub isn't an ideal place for this sort of thing. Especially if you're hell-bent on spoiling the atmosphere for everyone else. Sadly, they're regulars.
I've been visiting The Actors this year on Sundays, to contribute to the weekly open mic night that happens in the back bar. For someone looking to build community connections and break the ice with some insanely talented, kind, and generous people, you could do a lot worse than The Actors. Open and effortlessly queer friendly, this is a space for anyone looking to make friends and broaden their horizons. The pizza is definitely worth a try too. See you Sunday?
Very welcoming LGBTQ venue. Perfect for quieter drinks with small groups. There's also lots of fantastic regular events.
Love everyone here in everyway. Forever. It’s nice and life affirming to still have a home or a safe(r) LGBTQIA+ inclusive accessible space, that isn’t flooded with Cis-hets as their local trend! Massive love and strength xX
Really nice place, especially for the queer community. Felt very welcoming, warm and friendly. Lots of nice smiles exchanged between strangers. It does get cramped on weekends and during events so be aware of that if you struggle with crowds. Pizzas are reasonably priced (didn't eat but saw others order food and it looked good) but honestly feel a little scammed to pay £6.35 for a bottle of cider.
