The Cronx, Croydon

Close to the Train Station, The Cronx is a small microbar, no real ale available on my visit probably due to recently opening after covid lockdown, there was however a decent craft keg selection and my Anspach & Hobday Pale got the day off to a decent start.

One of many small units in the Boxpark setup, although whether this one benefits from having an external frontage rather than being inside the hall facing the main seating area inside the atrium isn't completely clear. Anyway, on a relatively quiet late Monday afternoon there was still space inside the small bar (featuring a semi-modern industrial canteen look), with some of the limited amount of indoor seating still free. As expected, quite an interesting selection from the six handpumps on the counter and about ten craft keg taps on the bar-back. Went for the owning brewery's Entire Porter (£4.00) but could easily have selected many other of the available offerings.
