The bar
A serious spread of beers on tap
The draw here is the beer range, with tropical and grapefruit-forward IPAs among the options mentioned by regular visitors. Staff are happy to offer tasters before you decide, though prices may feel a little higher than elsewhere.
Inside
Quiet in the afternoon, louder when busy
Earlier visits can be calm, making the pub a good place for a catch-up or some people-watching. It can become notably raucous upstairs when the bar fills, with friendly service and music adding to the noise.
