First visit to this City brew pub and I will certainly pay a return visit on a different time to a late Thursday evening to see how it performs when it’s not full of City types who are beginning to bray loudly due to excess alcohol consumption.
Six Long Arm keg products on and I went for their red ale which was surprisingly good.
I also have to say that going through the double doors to the toilets and finding yourself in a posh hotel was a bit strange.

Whilst passing nearby, I decided to give this brewery bar another chance. Since my last visit, the beer range has increased to 6. All are their own beers - Lucky Penny, Birdie Flipper, Shadow Wolf, Saison, IPA OK and a lager. I decided to go a little off piste and order the saison. It's not normally my type of beer, but I actually quite enjoyed this one. It was better than the stout I had last time.

Many of the tables were reserved for later in the evening. So, I ignored all of the notices and sat down, as I was only staying for one. Cricket was showing on the TV. I assume the bookings were also for watching sport later in the evening.

Another City place that is growing on me a little. It certainly seems fairly unique to have a brewery bar like this in the middle of the financial district.

Original visit (March 2022):

A rather strange brewery pub and bar with entrances from both the street and the hotel to the rear.

I'd never heard of Long Arm Brewery. But it seems that this is where they are based. There is no real ale, but 3 keg beers were dispensing beer brewed on the premises - Long Arm Lucky Penny, Shadow Wolf & Muddy Ruck. My Shadow Wolf was ok, without being special.

The brewing equipment can be found at the right-hand end of the room. But the bar generally feels more like an American one than anything British. I'm glad I've been, but don't really see a reason to return.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Long Arm

Modern pub, housed underneath the rear part of the Montcalm Hotel, featuring a staple-shaped bar, an opened-out room to one side and the shiny micro-brewery in the diagonally opposite corner, all under a high ceiling with industrial ventilation ducting. Seating mostly along tall benches (with power sockets and menus), although the place was mostly full of post-work vertical drinkers when I called in. Five different beers from the range available from the two banks of six craft keg taps, in a range of styles including two pale ales, an IPA and a lager, but I went for the dark Stoutford Bridge (£5.50, like the others, but they were doing two-pint steins for this price as an offer when I ordered, so that proved to be an unexpected bargain).
