Visited 29/07/26 No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Modelo and a trio from Camden, Pale, Hells and Eazy IPA. Rooftop bar open Wed to Sun. There is small desk at pavement level, suspect to control entry at v busy times. You get waved through most times I suspect and then after a half dozen flights of steps you emerge onto a concrete flooring after an initial gravelled area hosting several large metal tables with matching metal chairs. The bar counter is a corrugated metal fronted construction on the left-hand edge of the venue with beers dispensed from taps behind the bar counter in the central hatch. There is an open kitchen in the rear left-hand corner. The right-hand edge is a waist height brick wall with a sloping grassed roof shrouded in solar panels the other side thereof. There is some nice planting, no screens, and a funky soundtrack on my visit. Most importantly the area with the tables and bar counter were all covered and so the area was nice and shady on a warm evening. Unclear whether this will be an all-year-round venue, can see it could be given the cover with just the addition of a few patio heaters in colder parts of the year.
