Small building, the bar is upstairs and the brewery below. Full range of beer in a comfortable setting, doesn't have the feel of a tap house, more of a nice modern pub. Beer quality is superb

A neat and tidy first floor taproom. The toilets are the only thing on the ground floor apart from the brewery, so no disabled access. Decent view from the outside balcony which was full during our visit. Seven handpumps badged, all from Irwell Works, which I have to admit is not my favourite brewery. Despite a good range of ales I didn't find this to be a particularly comfortable space, especially with some sweary high Vis types in the place.

Visited in November 2017. Seven hand pumps at the bar and a chap was working hard serving and changing barrels over etc. At the time of my visit there was one stout on, others were bitters, pales and IPA so a nice selection to go at. Pricing was £1.45 / £1.60 for a half presumably based on strength. Great selection of their own ales and would love to go back some time. Not too busy on my weekday lunch time visit but the tables started to fill up. In addition to the first floor area there was one table on the ground floor. The only other thing on the ground floor is the toilets.
