Sixes, Bermondsey, SE1

In what looks like a Victorian (possibly earlier ) industrial building,is situated this very popular bar and restaurant.The bar is to the left of the entrance and is designed mainly for vertical drinking although there are a few tables dotted about.There is an array of keg beer taps ,although described as craft beers,it seemed an unremarkable choice to me.No real ale in sight.Wines and cocktails were popular among the young professionals who use the bar for afterwork drinks. The rest of the large interior and the attractive covered courtyard to the right is a wait to be seated restaurant,again very popular on my early evening visit,although I wasnt eating so wont comment of food quality. It's a lively ,noisy place,yet with little to offer a pub traditionalist.The lack of real ale despite it's location near so many microbrewers does seem to be a missed opportunity but it's more bar than pub.
