Very large and modern pub that is part of the thriving scene on Osborne Road.
The glass entrance leads to a very bright and airy bar with a pine wooden floor and a small bar at one end. The décor is a mixture of cream colours with very smart portrait pictures on the walls and there is spotlighting to the ceiling. There is plenty of seating with modern style tables and chairs throughout the bar. This leads through to a further area at the rear that has additional seating of sofas and chairs. There is a large widescreen TV inlaid in the wall as well as two other TV's on either side of a pillar, in the centre of the bar. Live sports are shown with all live football featured.
At the rear of the bar there is also a further lounge seating area that has another small bar. This leads through to the restaurant and the main part of the Caledonian hotel. Regular music is on play at most times as next to the main entrance by the bar there is an old Wurlitzer juke box. The bar attracts a more upmarket crowd and is bustling with a mixture of young people, students and hotel guests at the weekend. It is more relaxed through the week when it is a little quieter, however the place comes alive at the weekend.
Outside there is a very large forecourt split into two areas one of which is in an elevated position. There is plenty of tables and chairs and large awnings that cover the area with some heated lamps. Disabled access can be difficult to the bar as there are steps leading to the main entrance. Toilets are medium sized and are smart and clean. The prices for the hotel start from £45.00 per room (room only). Standby rates are available at the reception.

Chicken with creamy garlic was not good at all, so below average. Cream very liquid and just a bit, raw vegetables (not enough steam/boil), can/tin sliced mushrooms 40 min waiting for the food.
Quite a nice pub for a town centre(ish), the recent refurb has left the place with a modern but traditional feel. No real ales unfortunately, but a good range otherwise. Sky sports on the TVs, so I reckon a good place to watch the rugby.
Poor slow service, some items on menu no longer available! Waited some time for food and steak sandwich arrived ...... steak sliced in bits cold! No onions as stated, and raw peppers not roasted. Chips were hard like they had been reheated.
Beautiful sun trap, but service was very slow. We seemed to get a bit more luckily compared to other customers with serving time. Sometimes drinks were served in a glass and other times in a plastic cup, even though we consistently ordered the same drink. A nice place but with the prices of drinks you would expect a lot more, I assume this is partially due to it also being a hotel.
I think you are just ripping people off I don’t mind spending money on a good time but 9 quid for that little plastic cup of gin is taking the p#%5. The only bad bar I’ve visited on Osbourne Rd. Won’t be back.
