Old Boots left this review about The Brain Jar
Nasty cocktail bar with know-it-all staff who tell you how and what to drink, idiot behind the bar said I’ll chill that glass down for you -arrrgh- then he thought rolling a bottle along the counter to stir up the sediment was the way to serve beer, asked to stop it was “typically that’s how it’s served, Sir, I’m professional bar staff, I know how to serve beer Sir” - in spite of trying several times to give him a way out he kept being a wanker. The clue might be in the lack of fonts on the counter and the innumerable spirit bottles behind. I don’t do ratings but probably one to avoid unless you like being patronised by twats who know FA about beer. Range of bottled beers in fridge.
