Nine craft beers on tap on the wall behind the bar counter in the rear left corner. Two from Track, the DIPA DDH Everything Illuminated and the pale ale Sonoma,a stout from Dog’s Window called Old Dog New Tricks, a cider from Thirstly Cross, a sour called I Know a Place from Powys brewer Wilderness, a stout from Dark Element called Malevolent, a West Coast IPA from Round Corner called Treeline, an old ale from Burning Sky called Old World, a DDH pale from State of Kind called Space Fance and finally a pilsner from Flensburger.
This is a narrow glass fronted shop conversion that recently moved from a few doors away where it traded as then just a record shop and a takeaway bottle shop. It has a tiled and partially concreted floor with regular trestle type tables on both sides and some ledge seating in the front window with tall, backed stools. There are some beer fridges and some shelving in the back right hand corner beyond the bar counter. Given the record shop heritage there is a lot of (real) pop art on the walls and posters for upcoming gigs.
