Looks like a converted townhouse and is quite enticing externally with a continental feel. Long and narrow within and fairly plain Jane in terms of decor, pastelly shades. At the rear is a decent seating area with inter-war era continental beer pictures and signage. GBG listed with five cask on from hipster breweries, no problems with my Anspach & Hobday and Lost & Grounded brews which were both fresh if lacking in rapid turnover on a Sunday afternoon to be truly excellent (2x NBSS 3.5) but I suspect on a Friday or Saturday they’d be clocking in at 4s. There’s also a decent cider range. It's a tidy place and one of the few genuinely bright lights in a city which, whilst having improved in the last 20 years, really is third division for quality pubs in terms of its size. 7.5

Feel of a wine bar/taverna with tiled floor and round arm chairs. Small bar in middle of room. Small front terrace. Ok, not over comfortable but the 4 real ales are good.

I was sitting in the Central Bar JDW and spotted this place just across the road. I recognised the name from the 2019 GBG so thought I would give it a try. As mentioned below it's a smallish rectangular room with a tiled floor and the bar counter on the front left.
There was a stack of six boxed ciders on the bar which may not be ideal in Summer. The three hand pumps had beers from local breweries although they were all around the 4% abv mark. I went for the Grey Trees Caradog's Bitter (£3.25) which was in good nick.
I thought this place was worth a look.
