Queens Road Tap, Leicester

Awkwardly laid out micro/Tollgate Brewery tap with very inefficient table seating. Moon-like atmosphere and close to silent despite several others in attendance, with the barman spending his time behind a laptop meaning zero customer interaction outside of being served. Weird. My beer, Tollgate Super QRT, was decent if a tad lively (NBSS 3). GBG listed.

Tollgate Brewery outlet housed in a converted shop unit, and rather inconspicuous in a street lined with so many other businesses of all sorts. Typical micro-pub interior, with the walls lined with pump clips and font badges, although the wooden tables and benches are notably solid. With five of the six handpumps in use, I found the brewery's Super QRT, Hung, Drawn and Portered from North Cotswold, Heritage Brewing's Golden Bitter (£4.35) and a pair of ciders. An interesting selection of craft beers is available from the seven keg taps, and a few more ciders (presumably in boxed form) are listed.
