Dark Revolution Brewery & Taproom, Salisbury

Housed in a shed in what is now a small industrial complex, this brew pub has a main bar with brewery plant in one corner, a serving counter opposite and a small function room at the side where they regularly host live acts. There is also an array of benches and tables outside. It doesn't have its own dedicated parking, but there is plenty of space nearby. Inside, it feels like a medium-sized bar structure with plenty of tables and seats, much of it taken up with families when we visited, the children running feral, the mothers busying themselves by handling the Brewery merchandise, trying on the clothing then putting it back on the shelves. It felt more like a creche than a pub. The barman was a bit gormless, not really knowing much about beer, and not able to tell us what was on the solitary handpump on the bar. The full range of Dark Revolution beers was, however, dispensed from a bank of taps on the wall behind, all clipped so there was no doubt, and one of them dispensed Cranborne Chase cider. The beers we tried were all good, as you might expect. It feels more like somewhere to come and be entertained than a pub, but I could be persuaded to come back if passing.
