Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Canal House
The former James Brindley, in a prime position by the Gas Street Canal Basin, now has covered outdoor seating to supplement the various other areas inside that are now more aimed at those dining. No real ale available from either bar. Limited - but mostly duplicated selection from the various keg founts - with beers from the likes of Camden, Kona Sur, Goose Island and Tiny Rebel.

Quinno _ left this review about The Canal House
A rather good conversion of an old industrial canalside building in a part of the city which is beginning to resemble Rotterdam. Retaining (or perhaps restoring) a good number of original exterior features including a loading crane. Most of the action is in the front garden which affords a decent view of the water and opposite bank. The inside is fairly modish but tastefully done; distressed wood, chrome, that sort of thing. No cask though a fair set of bottles and a couple of interesting keg products including one from Siren and a pilsner from Sharps which was fine and clocked in at £2.50 a half. So not a destination for beer hunters really but a nice enough diversion for a lazy summer’s evening. 6.5
