Another in the current trend of venues with 'street' food and drink outlets arranged around a central tabled area. The first room on entry is more like a downmarket German beer hall, but down a level finds the main area which is outdoors under a canopy, presumably resulting in the name. The concept is ok but it goes downhill rapidly. Sadly the only beer on tap is Budweiser Budwar (at £5.50) with a couple of Goose Island in bottle at equally silly prices. The food is also fairly limited and expensive, while the lack of any form of heating is not clever in the winter. Very disappointing.
