| Unexpectedly interesting... looked like a regular back street pub but its quite the beer experience. Central bar has many hand pulls and a board explaining the wares. Around the otherside is a full on brewery kit. Garden looked nice - which might be handy, as they allow all tables to be reserved. Beavertown Neck Oil sampled for the first, and probably last time. What's all the fuss? Mappiman - 14 Nov 2018 16:56 |
| No clips on hand pumps, all beers listed on large board and i glad to say with prices clearly marked, they need to be as they are quite steep. A half decent pub for all that. rpf1955 - 15 Dec 2016 15:42 |
| Hadn't heard about this pub until yesterday. It's a typical example of the new breed of craft beer pubs. You enter to find a row of handpulls with no clips. I initially assumed that there were no beers on. But a large blackboard indicated a good selection of both keg and cask ales. The cask selection was Ilkley Dinner Ale, Caveman Neanderthal, Hobsons Town Crier, Black Iris Citra & Round Tower Lupuline Black. A half decent pub in an area that now has plenty of real ale establishments. blue_scrumpy - 9 Dec 2013 22:25 |
| Darbs is about right. Lots of positives but something just not right for me. Well worth a visit though and a good choice of beer. TheHorsesMouth - 10 Jun 2013 15:30 |
| They've got some things right here, including the beer. It's a bit more cool than The Craft, more spacious than the the Euston Tap, but the prices - ouch! Darbs - 3 Jun 2013 19:08 |
