Immediately next door to the Rock Bar it’s more a square roomed micro rather than the usual long and thin. The counter is to the rear with five pulls; just brews from micro or small breweries, there’s also two non Camra ciders (Lilly’s) and three keg taps of not very exciting beers. Olde decor, with pub signs and posters, copper topped round tables which used to be a pub favourite, there’s also a rectangular one and some low leather armchairs. Sadly the default drinking vessel is bloody handle glasses, goes with the retro copper top tables I suppose. It has a piano in one corner and it’s a long staircase up to the toilets.

This micropub in a converted shop abutting the church was lively when we arrived, with half a dozen or more sat outside and maybe four times as many inside. A good half of whom were, like me, followers of Luton Town as well as real ale. As usual in this situation I find afterwards that I have not written any notes for a review, being too busy talking with my fellow Hatters. I do remember that the two young women behind the bar were friendly, efficient and cheerful and that the two beers that I had (Reedley Hallows New Laund Dark and Big Clock Ruby from Accrington, both local) were very good. There were three other beers on: national brand Hobgoblin plus two more fairly local (Bury and Stockport). In a town that is dominated by Thwaites, this one is a beacon of beer choice, quality and excellence.
