Kro Bar felt a bit like a café bar when I visited on a recent midweek evening. Premium and craft keg were available and four of the five hand pumps were in use drawing three from Brightside Brewing and a Lilley’s cider. The bar area was almost empty, but the covered area down a couple of steps out the back was very busy with a student crowd. Food is available, the all day Full English is £10, the students in this area must be quite affluent. The Brightside Chuck was good, but this isn’t somewhere I’ll be returning to.

Visited again in the run up to Christmas 2021. Felt less like a dentist waiting room on this occasion! Five hand pulls at the bar offering Wainwright, Reinbeer by Brightside, a cider that I didn't make note off, and two pumps were unclipped. Several keg options to go at too, though I went for the Reinbeer which was decent enough. Decent enough to have one and move on.

Visited mid December on a Saturday night. This is the last of the Kro bars and is vastly different to the one that used to be at Piccadilly. There is a bit of a strange atmosphere perhaps resulting from the big high ceilinged building which just reminded me of a dentist's waiting room. Bare board stairs lead to the upstairs area where the toilets are located and a bit of random seating on the landing.
In terms of the beer offering, cask ale and cider were available but we went for Everything's Peachy by ShinDigger, which was on keg.
Not unbearable, but a bit of an odd experience. I don't think the place suits the kind of building it is in.
