Visited 03/08/26. Visited previously as the Mad Hatter on 04/09/24.
No cask. Keg offering of Stella, Guinness and Goose Island Midway session IPA. There is a cider available by the bottle.
Doesn't feel like much has changed here since the previous incarnation. Small corner location, bare boarded with ornate brass coloured tile frontage occupying the rear left-hand corner with densely packed tall stool seating around both sides of the bar counter. The ceiling is similarly tiled. There are green leather banquettes fitted around the front left-hand corner and along the right-hand side and far right-hand corner serving small round tables with low stools serving the other side thereof and matched to the tall stools around the bar counter. No screens and a classy blues orientated soundtrack. There is some seating out the front on the pavement at the side of the busy main road.

Visited previously as the Gibson on 7/9/21 so a tad under 3 years ago. Then very much a cocktail venue but now somewhat more balanced! The place only opened a few weeks ago after being closed for a couple of years.
The venue is quite small. A rectangle with the bar counter occupying the far left corner of the rectangle. The place is quite ornate and has a few stools on the side of the bar counter facing the door. Three tall round tables with mirrored surfaces occupy the area to the left of the door and there is a long single dark green leather banquette along the right hand wall with four small similar rectangular tables in from thereof with low stools to sit the other side of. A small ledge at the back right corner with some tall stools complete the seating arrangements. A light jazzy music played at a nicely subdued volume made the place very ambient on my visit.
So draught beer in previous life now replaced by six taps providing Camden Hells and Camden Pale, orchard Pig Reveller cider, Guinness, goose Island IPA and Stella. Not a stellar range but much improved as a venue as a result.
The proprietors were very friendly and very experienced in the bar game. Think this place will do OK. Only an average rating from me based on the Meg offering but I would pop in again.
