I didn't hold out much hope for this place but I needed to shelter from the rain so popped in. Didn't see any hand pumps at first but then spotted a Trashy Blonde at the end of the bar (the Brew Dog Beer!!). It was pretty good and a decent diversion whilst waiting for the rain to stop. For some reason the price was £3.01. A decent sports pub with big screens and a typical JDW style menu.
