Visited 29/10/25. Visited previously 21/03/24.
No cask. Keg offering of Little Mizzle pale ale from Neckstamper, Guinness, Apple Craft cider from Pulp, Pabst Blue Ribbon Lager from a brewery in Millwakee.
Long room, with the bar counter towards the rear on the right-hand wall. All the action and chat is at the tall stools along the bar counter. Quite dark lighting and the kitchen is at the rear of the venue. Regular seating down the right-hand side ahead of the bar counter and along the left-hand wall from the front to the rear. Lighting is subdued and the guy that runs the venue is a top bloke and runs the Belgian beer Mecca that is the Angel of Bow. Closes always for the month of August so don't turn up to enjoy the venue that month! Personally, I think this is a great venue, not a massive draught range with no cask, but plenty to augment that via the cans in the fridges behind the bar counter.

This was my only unvisited venue in the E3 postcode area until tonight driven largely by the fact that they were only open Fri-Sun until quite recently but now open on Thurs evenings from 6pm also. Found this to be a really cool bar. Some interesting craft beers - I had a pint of the Littke Mizzle, a very cloudy New England IPA from the Neckstamper brewery that brew out of a venue in E10. Won’t be to everyone’s taste but I really liked this venue.
