A new venture,shop conversion running a long way back from a modest sized entrance.It's all quite hip with an industrial grey concrete flooring,some high tables near the bar,a series of seating booths to the rear and the beer selection advertised on a cinema style board.Lots of flatscreen around,thankfully mute on a Friday lunchtime visit.
The keg selection was vast,some nationwide brands,a few continental lagers and some craft beer options.Four handpumps were operating serving a Lilley's cider,Hawkshead Pale,Cumbrian Ales Loweswater Gold and Beartown Creme Bearlee (NBSS 4).
What shocked the crawlers on this visit was the ale pricing,at £3 the half especially the Hawkeshead Pale at 3.5%.Even a local who was waiting for a bus was moaning about London style pricing.
This venture may regret it's image as an expensive place to drink,there is a lot of decent competition not far way.

Situated in the building that used to be the derelict Woods tobacconists Hopwood's Tap House is a long room with plenty of seating mainly consisting of heavy chairs and tables.On the wall to the right is a board displaying all the strengths of the beers on display.The smart tiled bar is next with in the centre 4 handpulls with at either side of these 2 doubled up kegs of Hopwood IPA and Hopwood lager.On the back wall of the bar are another 28 taps making a total of 34 choices.I sampled a half pint of Hopwood IPA which set me back an eye watering £3 00.so a pint of Leffe was out of the question. At the moment the opening hours are from 12 noon till 1am Friday to Sunday
