Laura’s Bar is a square open plan shop converted bar with padded bench seating in the front windows and high shelves and stools around a central supporting column. A wooden L-shaped serving counter in the left rear corner supports standard keg and Birra Moretti alongside many Thatcher’s cider flavours and three hand pumps, two of which were in operation drawing Wainwright and Boa Brewing’s Lock n Load. On the right-hand wall is a disco rig that was unused during my recent midweek late afternoon visit, but there was some loud background music. The service was polite, from I assume Laura, and the two locals seemed friendly enough. One of their dogs sat on the window seating with me for the duration of my stay. Closes at 19:00 in the week. I think the heyday of the Beer Emporium are gone, but this is still a friendly place and I enjoyed the Lock n Load.

A shop conversion micro,the interior has a lot of beer adverts and ephemera and traditional seating as well as two high tables in the front window.There is an alcove to the far left and it is here that the helpful landlady will take your order and deliver your beer to the table.There is an impressive bottle collection also for sale making a great display.
Just two real ales on my trip Mallinsons Simcoe Columbus and Electric Bear Glitch Pale Ale (gravity poured ,tired,NBSS 2.5). There were 6 ciders and 6 craft keg options but the disappointing ale options would inhibit another visit.The pub is up for sale which may account for the slight lower of standards in what is a 2023 GBG entry.

I can't really add much to the Signmeister's excellent review below. Yes, the exterior is a little bland as many of these micropubs are - although the etched glass helps. The interior is in white and brick with kegs used as seats in places. TV wasn't on and there was no music. A good, mixed clientele - but it is the service here, which is fantastic and friendly, which means i always stop off when around. Pump clip collection, be warned. 5 gravity served ales and a few ciders. The Kelham Island Kingston was very good. I do like this place - gets a bit loud as microplaces do, but always worth a visit.
