| This place has helped me to see the error of my ways. Being of the generation X persuasion, I was as suspicious of the millennial hipsters ( my daughter’s generation) with their sinister beards, stomach churning piercings,and general “look at me, haven’t I suffered and aren’t I caring” demeanour as I was of my parents’ self-righteous hippy turned yuppie, baby boom generation. This place has taught me that there is one thing the hipsters and I have in common… ale! Their taste in beer tends to the experimental, but I am starting to embrace that a bit and even go so far as to sample some of the more far out brews that this establishment has on offer. Any member of the site interested in real ale (and let’s face it you wouldn’t be looking at the site if you weren’t) ought to include this place on a “to visit” list. You will be presented with a truly gobsmacking variety of beers to suit any taste. You will also find this one of the friendliest and most accommodating bars in town with loveable hipsters at the bar to give you the lowdown on the bewildering selection of tasty alcoholic stuff they sell. Don’t worry about feeling out of place, practically everyone who actually drinks there is a generation x or babyboomer anyway! I rate this as a 9. Jay28 - 3 Jan 2023 14:57 |
| A tad hipsterish but okay as bars in railway arches go. anonymous - 8 Apr 2018 10:19 |
| Excellent bar under the railway station. A wide selection of cask and keg beers on offer. zipdiskdude - 22 Jan 2018 23:44 |
| Situated under the railway arches therefore handy for the trains. Not the most atmospheric of pubs though it was early evening. Quite large and airy with large glass doors at one end leading to an outdoor drinking area. The most attractive feature for me is the range of real ales. There were twelve on my recent visit plus six ciders as well! They are listed on blackboards which I have to confess I found a little hard to read. (Nothing to do with the drink I add!) There is live music too though no'one playing on my visit. The bar staff were a little like the shop assistants who feel they know what you're looking for even if you don't! Overall though I would definitely visit again. outtamehead - 12 Jul 2016 14:29 |
