More of a restaurant than pub. Standard, trying for high end but not really offering much. No real ale

I had high hopes for this place, having noted that both this branch and its sister pub in Mold were both in the Good Beer Guide. Indeed, I was expected something akin to a micropub. Unfortunately, this was the worst of 3 new pubs I visited in the town centre.
The interior does have space for drinkers and there was a good mix of drinkers and diners. Although it has more of the feel of a cafe bar than a micropub. Just 2 of the handpulls were clipped, both of them with Salopian beers - Oracle & Darwin's Origin. I chose the latter and received a half pint that was in a very poor condition. I suspect it just hadn't been pulled through that day.
Staff were quite pleasant and cheerful, but I'm really not sure how this place can be in the Good Beer Guide, the irony being that the Mold branch was even worse.

The Fat Boar is very much a food led pub, but I was fine ordering at the bar to the left of the entrance. Premium keg was available and one of the four handpumps was in operation drawing Ostara Bitter. Whilst waiting I decided to eat so plumped for the burger. The place was empty, but for some reason they still decided to sit me right next to the door on the shittest table in the house. It cost £15 and the burger was massive, but the patties didn’t really taste of anything and the chips were cold. But I was full after so didn’t really care. The staff were polite and maybe there is a better atmosphere on Saturday evening when the live music is being held, but I don’t plan on returning.
