In March 2007, we were full of hope for Satchmo's, the new jazz spot on the Stokey horizon. But oh dear - it seems it wasn't to be, as just last month, a grey-haired man in overalls was up a ladder, paint-tin balanced precariously over passing pedestrians, painting the words 'cocktails' and 'sports' onto the blackboard outside. The jazz is no more. In its place though, is, give or take a new rug or two, exactly the same pub, minus the jazz and with a telly on the wall showing any sport you like. So there's still the comfy sofas, still the local feel, and still a marked improvement on what was here in times past. We can't help but be worried how long this incarnation will last - is there really a need for cocktails in this part of Stokey? - but as it is, it's still a pleasant place to quaff a pint.
