Strongers . left this review about The Flying Circus
The front entrance of the Flying Circus opens onto a seating area and steps that lead up to the bar counter that runs up the left facing high tables that run up the right. At the rear is a stage that is overlooked by a balcony above. A proper live music venue with music merch on the walls, although the décor isn’t as grim as most. In amongst the premium and craft keg I counted four hand pumps, one was being pulled through so the cask offerings were Exmoor’s Gold, Oakham’s Bishop’s Farewell and Thornbridge’s Quiet Storm Cashmere. The Gold was on good form and the service was welcoming so this pub is worth a punt if passing to visit Just Beer over the way.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Flying Circus
Interesting alehouse and music venue, with a suitably grungy interior that matched the background tunes well enough. Five real ales on handpump: Adnams Southwold, Rev James, Theakston Old Peculiar, Northern Blonde from Brass Castle and Bad Seed's Holding Path (£3.90; with a handmade clap adaption, but in great shape, and seemingly the beer of choice that evening).

Enjoyed our visit to this pub with a decent selection of ales from interesting breweries. They also have a range of keg beers, canned and bottled beers and also ciders. We chose Beermats Matador ale which was fine.
