No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, the Lager and Arctic Sky both from Harbour, Damm Lemon, Pravha, Aspall and Amstel.

Cafe bar sort of place immediately outside the exit from Brockley station. Decent amount of umbrella covered seating at the front but out of play for me on a windy and cold early evening. Inside the bar counter is on the left-hand wall mid venue. There is a mix of tall and regular tables in the glass front with a sofa in the front left-hand corner. Regular tables down the right-hand wall from level with the start of the bar counter served by a banquette along the right-hand wall. There are some booth style tables in the rear right-hand corner. There is a mixing desk in the front left-hand corner suggesting some live music here. No screens and a funky soundtrack in a venue with subdued lighting and a few neon signs thrown in for good measure. If you find yourself coming out of Brockley station looking for cask ale, then you will walk the extra 2 mins to the JDW but if you are looking for something different to an old school Spoons then you might pop in here! I am much more inclined to speak cask than Parlez!
