Another fine micro, with a very friendly bar man, who was rushed off his feet with Wealdstone fans doing some GBG ticking. May be the only GBG place in town that does any sort of food - so took advantage of their famous toasties.

Beer was excllent - Wharfdale Best on Cask chosen and perfect.

Another shop conversion modern bar there are two entrance doors ,one with a steep climb to get in .The interior is on different levels with a mix of furniture including sofas and the small bar at the rear left.The ale line up on my Wednesday visit was Abbeydale Wagtail,Black Iris Endless Summer,Wishbone Black Porter,Anarchy Blonde Star and Goose Eye Spring Wells,a regular and NBSS 4.Friendly and helpful service from the barmaid.Rightly listed in the 2023 GBG but not quite as good as nearby Kobenhaven or Vocation & Co. ,it's still worth including on any ale tour around this fine town.

Not massively enticing from the outside but well-worth going in. Modern place but decorated really well; wood panels on the walls, tiled floor, green formica-topped tables some comfy chairs and sofas and a general 70’s vogue feel to the place with a laid-back atmosphere. Two levels, with a couple of steps up to the bar. Five ales across a range of styles; my Parkway Norweigan Blue was good (NBSS 3.5) whilst there are six craftykeg and a cider to also entice. Staff knew their product, really helpful to clueless punters. Oddly quiet for a Friday night, though that actually enhanced the atmosphere as it felt like a bit of refuge. I enjoyed my stop here and I’d make sure to pop in again next time. GBG'22 listed.
