Kilder is a craft bar housed under a railway arch to the East of Moor Street Station. The serving counter runs across the rear wall where I counted 15 keg taps on the back bar under several chalk boards that list the available draught that doesn’t include cask. Benches up the centre are flanked by high backed banquettes up the right-hand wall and shell seating in the front left corner. There’s some seating out the front and rows of picnic tables are found under the adjacent railway arch to the left. Walking it at 9pm I was informed by the barman that they were just about to close, but he had no issue serving me. This early closing explained why the projector screen was rolled up while a World Cup match was in progress. It was busy, so they’re either doing very well or the council have imposed restrictions on trading times. The lack of cask may put some off, but I thought it was very relaxed and I enjoyed my visit.

Craft beer bar tucked away in the railway arches which lead into Moor Street station.
The main room has the bar on the back wall, with a fridge off to the left containing a large piece of meat, presumably to advertise the adjoining Original Patty Men eatery in the next arch along.
The beer selection was Lost & Grounded Helles, Burning Sky Tail Crush, North Sputnik, Vocation Bread & Butter, Siren Time Hops Citra & Mosai, Time Hops: Centennial & Time Hops: Simcoe, Schoffenhoffer, Brew By Numbers #19 Gose - Solero, Overtone Edge of Darkness, Three Hills Forbidden Cocktail: Strawberry Daiquiri & Old Chimneys Good King Henry. Ciders were Snail's Bank Raspberry Ripple & Rhubarb Cider & Ross-on-Wye Somerset Redstreak and Brown, Dabinett Single Varietal & Birdbarker.
Service was a bit slow in here. This was more due to the beer pouring extremely lively in the hot weather, than anything else. We actually enjoyed our visit a little too much, missing a couple of trains to continue drinking.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Kilder
Modern craft bar housed in a railway arch on the approach to Moor Street station. Mix of furniture in an upmarket canteen style, with further seating available in the adjacent open-sided arch which is shared with the Original Patty Men restaurant. No decoration to speak of, so the attention is inevitably drawn (no doubt as intended) to the chalkboards listing the 15 available beers and four ciders above the bar-back. The range of styles is very broad, and I tried the Yonder Patersbier from Belgium and the Fierce Beer Moose Mousse 'choc milk stout' from different ends of the spectrum. Although hardly going to appeal to the traditionalist, I found this a decent spot for a drink, and the friendly and helpful barman certainly helped reinforce my positive impression.
