Blue Scrumpy left this review about Clockwork

Clockwork was the busiest of three venues we visited on the Shirley Road on Saturday evening. Unusually for a micropub, a TV in the front corner was showing live international rugby, with Scotland on. This seemed to be occupying most of the customers on our visit.

The bar has 3 handpulls on the left-hand side and a number of keg taps on the rear wall. Flower Pots Heritage Hop & Wadworth 6X were both on, with the third handpull clipped with Iford's New Tradition cider. Craft ciders were Iford's Wild Juice & JJ's Pear-fection, whilst craft beers were New Bristol The Joy of Sesh, Siren Beer o'Clock, Loud Shirt Like Clockwork, True Story Hazy Plan & Staggeringly Good Little Arms Big Ambitions.

With quite a friendly and lively atmosphere in here, this one is definitely worth a visit if touring the Shirley area.

A nice little micro with a friendly welcome, comfortable seating and a fair beer selection. A tiny room at the back boasts two tables and a piano. And just to appease those worried about toilet hoggers, they have squeezed in three unisex cubicles! Three cask ales on (from Flower Pots, Steamtown and Exmoor) and half a dozen or so craft keg. One of the better of the micros along the Shirley Road.

In this micropub / small bar, I found 2 handpumps in operation, plus a line of 10 or so keg taps. Sadly, pulling through a whole pints worth of Exmoor Pale couldn't save the beer from mediocre quality - perhaps the Cheriton Pots Bitter would have been an improvement? More likely I'd have been better off with a craft keg Siren or Tiny Rebel.

I wasn't really impressed, so I'll pass by next time.
