Real Ale Ray left this review about Candlemaker Cafe & Bar
This is a recent opening and the sister pub to Brewed Awakening on the same street. You walk down a courtyard which has plenty of seating, all occupied by ladies on the Prosecco, I presume. Interior was quite dark, undressed brick and floorboards. The small bar is on the left, with a piano opposite. You walk down into another seating area off this room. 2 handpumps with 1 on offering Leadmill Blue Morpho. They also do coffee and cakes here and hope to offer tapas in the future. It's open 6 weeks so looks to be doing okay so far.
