No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Cruz, Alpacalypse, Aspall, Neck Oil, Moretti, Corona, Pravha, Carling, Peroni and Madri.

Long rectangular bar from the pavement with a small, raised seating area out the front. Bare boarded with a tiled skirt along the bar counter which runs from the front’ish left hand wall to the rear’ish end! Some tall stool seating at each of the front and rear parts of the bar counter. There are a couple of pool tables in the front either side of the entrance with some small tables and chairs dotted around them with a leather banquette on the right-hand side facing towards the entrance. Tall tables and tall stools down the middle facing the bar counter and a raised area along the right-hand wall opposite the bar counter with some leather banquettes along the wall and around the ends of the area serving regular tables with patterned chairs the other side thereof. This area felt the most dining part of the venue. Tall tables and high stools at the rear and there was a DJ booth in this part facing the entrance with a disco ball on the ceiling in front thereof. Lots of eclectic art on the walls and plenty of TV’s showing the cricket action on my visit, no commentary, and a loud club like soundtrack. There was a small area out the back providing some rear outside seating options. Only the three open venues on PG in E18 end this was the one to easily eliminate if you only had time for a two-venue crawl here!
