No cask. Small keg offering of Murphy's Irish Stout, Brixton Reliance Pale ale, Red Stripe and Cruz.
Small whiskey and bourbon and live music focussed bar. The venue is bare boarded, and the bar counter is mid venue on the left-hand wall with some tall stool seating at the bar counter. A raised area in the front window to the left of the entrance hosts a single table served by a small red leather banquette and a couple of chairs. Apparently, this is reconfigured when the area is used for live music! The wall to the side thereof is plastered with iconic tour posters. A similar but larger banquette along the right-hand wall serving more tables and then the same in the rear left-hand corner provides the bulk of the seating here. I plumped for the wall facing ledge opposite the bar counter served by tall stools. No screens and an excellent music soundtrack during my short stay here. A cool venue albeit one lacking on the beer front, but typical of the type of venue.
