Quinno _ left this review about The Dog House
Modern micro-esque bar (piped music, TV sports). Done to a good, if modish, standard, not a fan of the ominous dark blue ceiling. Two levels and a bit of character, plus the heating was on which wasn’t a given in most places that day. Three ales with one from Blue Monkey and two from Pheasantry; my half of the latter's Excitra was a little pump tired but just about an NBSS 3 and I get the feeling that most of the punters were on other drinks. Small rear courtyard with an olive tree, of all things. 6.5

A comfortable shop conversion, rather more than a micro with some nice seats, foliage and an excess of fairy lights. There is a small courtyard area at the rear. Ales on were Dancing Duck Dark Drake, Little Critters White Wolf and Blue Monkey Infinity IPA. Good enough for a pint or several.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Dog House
Previously a florists and before that a fruit and veg shop. This latest edition to the micropub scene around Kirby only opened on the 27th July. The interior layout is one rectangular shaped room with the bar area over to the right as you enter. The style of this micro is urban and with an industrial looking pipe that comes out from the cellar and makes a right angle and is then fixed to the end of the bar. In fact, this piece of architecture hides the beer lines that connect up to the handpumps along the bar counter.
Three handpumps on our visit, with a choice of Blue Monkey Infinity, Titanic Plum Porter and a Festival ale by GK. I went for the Blue Monkey, which was in good shape. The pub is positioned right next to the pedestrian crossing that is constantly beeping, which I found irritating after a while.
