Early evening drink so had a chance to talk beer with the brewer. Also had a taster of several before making final choice. “Work”, their pale ale ticks ALL the boxes, great blend of NW USA hops with a good citrus hit without the real hoppy notes. Quirky and small with good outdoor seating area under the railway arches. Definitely worth hunting this one out, by all accounts from my daughter who lived close by it has a great atmosphere.

This is a real gem right of Broadway market. An actual independent craft beer company unlike some which class themselves as craft beer, but are owned by one of the mainstream companies. Their beer tastes great and they have a rotating list of other breweries. The venue inside is fun and quirky and when it's summer, you can take the sun in drinking on one of the many tables outside. Shout out to the super friendly staff also. Recommend

I have been to this brewery a couple of times for friends birthdays and it became well known amongst us as a great space to book events. Their "Greenhouse" room has a pool table and is more private and secluded from the main bar.
I recently reached out to them way ahead of time as I wanted to book some tables in the Greenhouse for around 30-37 people for my birthday. They got back to me confirming there was availability and that we were booked in (I even received an email confirmation). After I had informed them of arrival time etc their response became quiet. I started to feel anxious and concerned and then a couple of days later they emailed to say they had received a better booking offer for that room and would have to move our large group to the main bar.
I have been to the main bar before, it is loud, has no pool table, is not private and secluded - so basically their alternative offer was no where near what I had booked with them. Now it is a couple of weeks until my birthday and I am left stressed and worried about where I am going to host 35 people on such short notice.
I understand that for business they want to prioritise larger bookings, but don't tell people you have availability, book them in and then mess them over when you find something better. Totally unreliable and I will not be coming back here anytime soon.
Save yourself the anxiety and book elsewhere

This is a really great little bar with a warm and friendly vibe. Nice crowd, smiley barmen, and they have some great beers.

Amazing selection of beers (their own and other brewerys) and cocktails - Nice little outside area as well - perfect little place for a few drinks!
