Basic craft bar, sister (or mother?) to the outlet in Bath. Relatively large square main room (with another behind); whitewashed walls, untreated wood plank settles and not much in the way of atmosphere early Saturday afternoon. Service was very friendly and my craftykeg choice of Mangonaut by Holy Goat Brewing was nice enough. You’ll pop in if you’re a beer hunter, though for the average pub ticker it’s all a bit ‘so what’. Needs a bit more character, as it feels like it’s come out of cheap box entitled ‘Make Your Own Craftypub In 5 Easy Steps’.

A recent 2017 craft opening in the town which as a pint drinker I was sceptical about serving pints as lots of new opening only serve 2/3rd measures that pitch themselves as craft/bottle shop and new theme of we've got some cheese as I've been in three such establishments now in a week. This does serve pints however I think they are keg only offerings and are limited in choice. Seemed only 4 choices on with only 3 available to be served as a pint I suspect due to strength.
There is the bottle shop side of things as the pictures and name imply which has a range of offerings on shelves on the left as you enter for cans, wine and cheeses available to take away or drink inside. As a lager drinker observing the prices which is offered as Take Away and drink inside is jaw dropping but I guess this is the prices commanded as there wasn't a lack of custom while I was visiting selecting the odd can or two and bottles of wine. My friend brought 3 bottles of wine and two lumps of cheese for £70 on our departure.
To the right on entry there is an U/L/no alphabet letter shaped seating area with three tables mostly in a bench form with cushions on. Out of the three tables it stretches around I think they had chairs offering more seating but it's not the easiest to sit in due to being a bit of a tight squeeze. By the bar there are two high tables with 4 stools around each table.
Overall not my choice of establishment that I'd revisit given my tipple of choice but was pleasant enough to visit to keep my every establishment obsession achieved.
Parking in the street is limited to 20 minutes so its a park and walk location.
