A cosy little micro with dark painted walls and high ceilings with dangly lighting. Five handpumps with a selection of brews from Aldwark; mine was a very pleasant stout. Quite a nice atmosphere and I would happily drink here again, but I could see that it could be less attractive if busy.

It's a long, steep walk to get to this micropub and the nearby Newsroom. I personally don't think this one on it's own is worth the effort to get here. Exactly as described by Ray below. At the top end there's a rack of sharp tined implements securely attached to the wall with "In case of Zombies" written above them. All the beers available were from Aldwark brewery who own this place now. This is a bit of a shame as I find all there beers to be pretty average. Quite busy on our Sunday, last afternoon visit, but I won't be coming back here again.

Good sized micro. GBG 2022 and the tap room for Aldwark Artisan Ales. Artisan usually has the same meaning as fusion on Indian restaurants. 10% surcharge on costs.
Went for an ABK Hell.
Busy both inside and out.
