The Soar Point, Leicester

Fairly large and boisterous student-type bar entered from the end of the bridge over a canal, from where you descend down some steps into the main drinking space level with the canal itself. This is very much a craft beer bar, but the staff seemed to know their beers which were listed as Brewdog Planet Pale, Beavertown Gamma Ray & Neck Oil, Thornbridge Quiet Storm - Eclipse, Camden Pale & Top Rope Blobbymania. In addition there were 4 of the Lilley's range of fruit ciders - Pineapple, Mango, Tropical & Rhubarb. With Leicester City playing at home, it was quite busy with football fans (including ourselves) who were using it as a session venue or for us as a stopping point on the way to the stadium. This is a convenient place to know about, especially with the football stadium being only 15 minutes walk away along the canal.
