An impressive pub for its three small rooms, plus lobby bar, and tilework. At the entrance is floor-to-ceiling tiling with a pair of phoenixes, the emblem of the eponymous Heywood brewery. The lobby bar has a modern tiled floor and tiled dado and further tiling on the counter front. The bar-back fitting only dates from the 1980s. The front right room has 'Tap Room' in the inter-war stained glass panel in the door, old, possibly inter-war fixed seating and service via a hatch to the servery. The front left room has modern dado panelling and there is a wide gap between the front left and rear left rooms, and an doorway entrance from the lobby bar.
Has a layout of lobby bar and three small rooms with some impressive tile work. Entrance lobby has floor to ceiling tiling with a tiled frieze at the top. The middle of the wall has a tiled painting of a Phoenix on both sides reflecting that this was a Phoenix Brewery of Heywood pub.
The lobby bar has a modern tiled floor and a tiled dado all around the walls and also on the bar counter front with some tiled panels. The bar back fitting dates from the early 1980s. The front right small room has a 'Tap Room' inter-war stained glass panel in the door, old, possibly inter-war fixed seating and service via a hatch to the servery, but it has lost its fireplace.
Front left room has a doorway, modern dado panelling but has lost its fireplace and houses a pool table. There is a wide gap between the front left and rear left room, which has a doorway entrance from the lobby bar. The fixed seating maybe from inter-war times, there is a modern stone fireplace and good ceiling rose.
