A rather-surprising beer exhibition pub. The splendid late Victorian frontage is impressive, but it took several looks to establish if the place was actually open, there being little sign of life at the front and entry being through a nondescript door in the middle rather than the grand entrances. Once inside, we discovered a large, empty feeling room - mainly due to plain furnishings and an expanse of light polished floorboards - with a nice solid bar in the centre but little else structural of note. The right hand side extends back further and opens to a large patio to the rear. The front of the bar counter carries a long bank of tall fonts serving various craft and European beers. To one side is a bank of handpumps, which had some interesting brews on, while a couple of antique pumps the other side appear to be for decoration only. In the front corner of the pub are a couple of racks full of bottles, again mostly craft and European. The ales on at time of visit were Signature Roadie All-Night IPA, Howling Hops We Buy Teeth, Rivington Clouded Eyes, New Bristol Cinder Toffee Stout, Bristol Beer Factory Neotropic and Arbor C Bomb. Overall, it might have been better if there were a few more customers in, but this feels like someone is concentrating entirely on the beers and overlooking the atmosphere of the place to consume them in. It could easily be an excellent pub but just the range of beers, and not stupidly priced at that, calls for a repeat visit.

A Grade II listed pub which dates from the late 1800's. I can't think to imagine what this pub's interior was like back in its hay day as there's nothing much to see now internally, apart from a couple of fireplaces. The main feature here is the exterior front façade, along with two bow shaped etched glass porches either side, once separate entrances to the original saloon and lounge side. We called in on a Thursday at 4pm when the pub opens. Eight handpumps with five ales to choose from, so we went for the Fyne Brewery Jarl and Wylam Galatica. Both beers were in excellent condition and all their ales were priced at £3 a pint.
