Wing and a Prayer, E5

Trendy keg only place situated on a corner site. Large clear glass windows, boarded floor and decor in various shades of green. Around twenty keg taps on the bar, the choices and prices are listed on a board in one corner. Typically expensive, it was a quick half and move on, I tried the Beavertown Neck Oil which had some flavour but was also cold and heavily carbonated as you'd expect. There is a large glass fronted fridge full of continental bottled beers, probably also at a price. The brunch menus were out, Blackened swordfish steak, roasted sweet potato wedges and guacamole at £15 gives a clue at to the type of customer base they expect here. Framed arty prints on the walls and behind the bar, flowers in wine bottles, there was also a gin menu. Outdoor seating on a front terrace. Not my sort of place at all, I don't get the concept of these cold fizzy keg beers at a hefty price but I'm sure it will suit their chosen customer base and I suppose that's fair enough.

Re-opened as the Mermaid.Large one roomed high ceiling bar.Bit dark and gloomy on my night-time visit.Outside seating to the front.About 20 keg beerS no cask but a good mix of styles and breweries if you can afford them.

Reopened as a wine bar and restaurant. Closed Mondays.
