The bar has a rather "dodgy" atmosphere. The sign outside is a wild boar's severed head with its blood leaking onto the white tablecloth it sits on. Inside, the bar is nothing like the popular Three Broomsticks, where most of the students go in Hogsmeade. It comprises "one small, dingy, very dirty room". Most of the windows are coated so thick with grime that candles must be lit on the "rough" wooden tables to provide light.
