Customer Review Summary
Beer is the draw reviewers raise most, with a wide range across draught, bottles and guest beers that one visitor calls a beer lover's dream. Belgian and German styles stand out, including Fruh Kolsch on draught that one reviewer did not expect to find outside Cologne. Others mention a wide range of bottled continental beers and lagers, plus stout, cider and spirits. Live music comes close behind, with reviewers describing gigs through the year and one night of a DJ playing soul and funk. Staff and fellow customers are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer notes the bar is dog-friendly. Others describe it as quirky, bohemian, comfortable and clean, and one found it a good spot for pre-gig drinks. Snacks get a mention too, including little chippies. One reviewer closes on the dice roll that hands out a surprise drink, which landed them a Buckfast, very sweet and quite strong.

“Lovely place, great music and gigs. However it doesn't offer cash payments, which is problematic for people who have to be on a strict budget, or those who go in with a carer etc...”
