Quinno _ left this review about The Broken Seal Tap Room

Side street bar. Oblong room, all feels fairly new, neat and tidy, light blue colours. Apparently a brew pub for Six Hills and indeed two of theirs were on keg out of the total of 10, with two cask in addition. GBG listed so into the ales I went - the Craven Brewery EFA was dire, aspiratored beyond all life, flat and cardboardy (NBSS 1). At least my half of Vault City off keg was nice. Both glasses noted as being horrible and streaky from a malfunctioning dishwasher. Then Billy Bragg talentless nasal drone came on the stereo which sealed it. When I took back my glasses - one full and one empty - the barman made no enquiry, maybe crap real ale is a common occurrence in here, or he is just an uninterested sloth, or maybe both. God knows how this got in the GBG.

The Chairman left this review about The Broken Seal Tap Room

Difficult to find, due to being on Basil Road in spite of having a High Street address, but well worth the effort. It's quite deceptive in size with a reasonable bar area and some outside seating as well as some additional seating in the brewery. A good selection of beers on offer as well, with a couple of cask beers and several craft of their own plus guests.
