No cask obviously. Single tap on the counter dispensing Pillars Pilsner - as the brewery is directly opposite it hasn't had to travel far!
Small industrial unit with high apex roof and plenty of light from several skylights. Concrete flooring with small bar counter in the rear left-hand corner. Regular tables and chairs on both sides and several dried floral displays on the walls. There is some regular table and chair seating out the front again popular in the early evening sun on my visit. There was a DJ to the immediate right of the entrance, and he was certainly belting out chill music at a KO time of 7pm at a venue swamping volume. They brew on the premises and so only open Friday evenings and the weekend with private hire available in the week. Not a beer destination so rated accordingly but one of the most fun venues I have visited for a while.

Part of the vibrant Ravenswood industrial estate scene, well attended with unsuprisingly a lot of female drinkers,If Gins your thing this is a good buzz.

This isn't a pub but the sample room for a company that makes flavoured vodkas and gins. That was the original intention but it has become so popular that they now also do cans and bottles from the two adjacent breweries. It's just a smallish room with mostly low tables and chairs.
I first came here in November 2016 and tried a Damson Gin (£4.00 for a double). I returned on Easter Saturday afternoon to find it three deep at the small bar and overwhelmed.
I'm no drinker of spirits but enjoyed the Damson Gin. It's a shame I couldn't get near the bar on a sunny Easter Saturday.
It's open Friday 18:00-Midnight, Saturday 12:00-Midnight and Sunday 14:00-20:00.
