7 Market Square, Stafford

Strangely there is nothing externally apart from the address to indicate that this is the micropub as the name of the old gun maker is still on the outside. Inside it is a rectangular room with the bar at the back and a further room to the left and rear of the bar. There is a selection of bottles on some shelves to the right. I noticed around five keg taps at the rear of the bar but they were all advertised as stupid halves or two third pints. There is also a fair range of non-mainstream spirits, mostly gins I assume. The bar has just three hand pumps which had Slater's Premium, Twisted Urban Legend and a fading Cross Bay Zenith. I went for the Slater's Premium which was £3.40 which struck me as expensive for a bog standard beer from a local micro. It was in good condition. I have to say I preferred the Floodgate to this one.

Not bad an with more room round the back. Reasonable selection of ales but nothing that strong. Would return if back in the town.
