L-shaped bar with serving counter along the wall to the left of the entrance. Supports craft keg and Guinness. Had a half of Gamma Ray from Beavertown, very expensive. Didn’t like the staff or customers so will not be revisiting.

One L shaped room that was very busy with lots of loud arses wearing suits on my Friday, early evening visit. It's all bare brick with a stripped back, industrial look. I had a half of Sagres once I'd persuaded the numpties to let me near the bar. It was £2.15 for a half which is a bit steep even for round here. I won't be bothering with this one again.

A cafe/bar that serves a barfull of fizz. No real ale. A large open plan place that looked L-shaped from what I saw. There may or may not be another part but I didnt really investigate. Its looked like it was mainly aimed at coffee drinkers despite quite a big bar. Then again it might be totally different of an evening.
