Blue Scrumpy left this review about Cains Brewery
Unfortunately, I am unable to access the forum to correct the name of the pub at this address. However, the pub pictured and at this postcode is still the Brewery Tap. It has been open for many years and survived the closure of the brewery itself. It is now part of the over-commercialised Cains Brewery Village.
Rather confusingly, the new Cains Brewery bar has opened a few yards east along Stanhope Street. I have requested that this be added to the site, but it may get rejected, due to the confusion over the names. The Brewery Tap is recommended for a more traditional pub experience, whereas Cains Brewery and Punch Tarmey's (in between the two) are much bigger barn-like premises catering to the masses. All belong to Cains and sell their beers.

now refurbished quite nicely but serves no real ale at all. For the former Cains Brewery tap with their memorabilia on show, that is pretty poor. The modern dance music was extremely loud for 1pm. A half of Guinness was bloody expensive too. A shame because a proper pub in this increasingly busy area would thrive. File under: missed opportunity

What should be a good pub just doesn't do it for me. 8 handpumps with only 3 on and a bit of a crap selection with those. I know its out of the way but this should be much better. While it is quite ornate inside its not really worth the walk out to it. Pity.
