The name 'Frigate' is not misleading at all: as you step down into the pub, it's like entering the captain's cabin. A perfect place for any fan of the seven seas, the bar is designed too look like a ship in itself, while the rest of the pub can only be described as 17th-century-warship-interior-meets-downstairs-bachelor-pad. Polished wood dominates the scene, but the walls, where visible, are painted deep blue, which makes the framed vinyl records stand out, and the other rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia plus the pool-table-green carpet makes for a place you just don't feel like leaving.
It's not the cheapest of them all (the word 'pub' seems to be an indicator of the higher prices), but there is a wide range of draught beers and shots, not to mention the foods on offer.
If you're anything like me, you'll love this pub: it is as welcoming as it gets, the music was great, and we had all our favourites on tap. I think we've found the perfect haunt.
Excellent review. The imagery was perfectly enticing. I will have to check it out. What does Frigate mean, since you said it is not a misspelling?
