Tønne, Leicester

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Tønne

After the obligatory visit to Leicester's best pub (the Blue Boar) and an aborted visit to the Corn Exchange (last entry 11:30pm), I had sussed out that Tønne was open until 2am.

As luck would have it, my research had paid off and we found a reasonably lively craft beer bar in which to round off our evening in Leicester city centre.

The bar is not too large, with a number of high tables with stools scattered around the bar.

I recall that toilets were upstairs, where there was possibly more seating (I'd had a bit too much by this time to notice). Although, there are disabled toilets at ground level.

Beer lists are provided courtesy of Untappd on TV screens, which are handy.

Bar staff were a bit too efficient for us in our state. They seemed to get a bit frustrated with our indecision and the number of questions we were asking about the beers.

The beer list seemed to be veering towards the stronger end of the ABV scale. I didn't note down them all, but sampled Polly's Informal Edits & Round Corner Reverend Hooker. Others included Polly's The Hop Studio - Talus India Pale Ale, New Bristol Wonderland, Orchard Pig Reveller & Funky Fluid Gelato: Passion Fruit, Mango & Peach.

There were also wheat beers, lagers and cocktails.

The only decent place I could find serving unusual beers in Leicester city centre after midnight, I may well find myself back here again one day.
