Sick to death of listening to the clientele of this place yelling and screaming. It's completely ruined our enjoyment of the garden in the evening - can't even sit and watch TV with the patio doors open. Not only that but the owners allow their dog to constantly bark. Selfish, ignorant people. Complaint going into council. Between them and the racket from Anatolia our lovely quiet area has gone sharply downhill. How beer gardens were ever approved in a residential area is criminal..

We visited on 20th January at the new venue. It was packed at about 6.45. The website says not noisy. It was so noisy we went downstairs with our drinks. There had been a Rugby match on in the City. I imagine if there is a band on it’s worse still. Good selection of drinks.

Love it! Real character to the place. Took me back to my senior school years. Lots of talking points. Original idea. Great choice of gins. Great gin glasses. I didn’t partake in the real ales.
Quite possibly my new local when we move to the area in a few weeks.
But sssh I want to keep it a secret.

Great place for me to go for a quiet drink with lovely beer, friendly staff and my kids love the range of lemonades. Wide range of ales lager and gin. Ideal for pre dinner drinks.

Went here at 10.10 Easter Thursday, bank holiday weekend. Barman wasn’t at all friendly. His first words were “your lucky to have just made last orders we close at 10.15 tonight!” We ordered a couple of G&Ts drank them quickly and went elsewhere. While sitting drinking them we spoke to a couple of regulars who’d just turned up, they informed us that it doesn’t shut at 10.15 as the barman told us. They were annoyed that he was shutting early as well. They drank up quickly and left. Wouldn’t waste my time here. The staff are rude and very unwelcoming. Shame as it’s a really funky little place and the drinks were really nice!!

Amazing little bar, with the best selection of ales in town. The recently developed outside seating area is a great addition

Been here many times with work.
Nice atmosphere and friendly people. They have some incredible beers on if you hit it at the right time. Due to location it sadly has no beer garden and lacks seating. However that’s not a negative and there’s not a lot they can do about it.
Will continue to return for a few swift ones👍

See title... very friendly staff who are happy to advise on the range of drinks they offer. Something to cater to all tastes. The owners spend a lot of time seeking out breweries and there’s is always something new to try. And it’s very dog friendly (the hound leads us to the front door any time we walk past).
