All Bar One, St Andrew's Street

• In 2003 it's improved slighly: there are now 8 handpumps and beers such as London Pride have appeared.
• Review from its opening in 1998:
  • It's done rigidly to a standard pattern: if you've been into one All Bar One, you've been in all of them.
  • Completely lacking in charm and character - just a big room which is noisy due to the echoes.
  • After a couple of weeks the place still smelled of new wood (the floor, tables & chairs).
  • The only real beers are Bass & Worthington any they may not be on all the time.
  • There's a big array of wine bottles behind the bar and the fizzy, dead beers & ciders are dispensed from the now-common T-shaped multi-tap heads, though particularly slim & elegant ones.
  • Newspapers & The Beano are available and there's a big menu.
  • Converted from the Belfast Linen shop in 1998, opening in late September.
