Owned by Vocation Brewery,the exterior is quite austere,while the interior is open plan and bright with a long bar running most of the length of the rear wall,with long bench seating opposite with dining type tables and wooden chairs.Colourful wall murals and designs mark this out as hipsterish but the welcome from behind the bar was genuine and friendly.Food options are pizze from the outlet next door,although it's all part of the same enterprise.First floor unisex loos but the lounge on the 2nd floor was not open on my Wednesday lunchtime visit.
The ale options on my trip were Vocation Bread & Butter,Heart & Soul and Naughty & Nice (NBSS4.5) with guests Five Points SBR IPA (NBSS 4)and Verdant Argal with a further pull unused.A very decent line up.Keg options totalled 24,described in a list high above the bar.
A modern bar,quite minimalist but with a beer line up which justifies the 2023 GBG entry and should be included in any ale tour of this fine town.

The ex Lantern and the former Alexandra bottle shop and bar are now knocked into one and includes the Wonder Wheel pizza joint, be advised a whole 18” pizza is between £18 & £30, you can get a 1/6 slice for £2.75 to £4. Decor wise it’s bland or clean modern lines depending on your point of view. Lots of pine anyway. There are 6 cask and 18 keg lines, the beers are listed on a blackboard above the bar back and on a laser display screen on the opposite wall, some of course from Vocation but there’s a good choice from other brewers. The Brian Blessed mural has gone, actually the wall it was on has gone, replaced by a different but less startling paint job. Taproom and pizza on the ground floor, toilets on 1st, cocktail and beer lounge on 2nd and the roof terrace on the 3rd.

Dark, atmospheric bar with a music venue upstairs. Musical adverts and murals all over the walls. There's a couple of comfy seats and lots of high stools. Sadly there's also stools at the bar to attract the annoying bar blockers. 6 handpumps, all on. but I couldn't see the pumpclips because of the blockers and the list on the wall was almost illegible. Despite this I rather liked the place. Half of Roosters, the only beer I could see, was a£1.75.
