No cask. Basic keg offering of Guinness (what else), Neck Oil, Cruz and a cider that I didn’t record.
This is a small newly opened Irish bar on City Rd. It is a cafe by day and a bar by night. Tiled rectangle with a glass frontage and bar counter in rear right-hand corner. Some stools at the bar counter and a leather sofa in the front right-hand corner. Regular tables and chairs in the middle and some tall tables with tall stools down the left-hand side. The venue was still decorated with St Paddy’s Day stuff on my visit, but it was a really nice venue with great music and a fantastic manageress managing the place on her own on my visit. Apparently popular with students end week and over the weekend and Guinness is attractively priced to tempt them in, especially for the live music and/or karaoke.
