A bar that is hidden in sight in the centre of busy and bustling Northbridge. Plain and austere it attracts a regular crowd who enjoy this place for what it is. It is like an after school club for hipsters to hang out, but with booze.
A younger crowd for the most part and outside seating if you can nab a table make this a place to enjoy a good beer especially on a warm evening or a nice summer's afternoon. Though it can at times be a smokers paradise and this can spoil it for a lot of people. The beer menu is nothing exceptional but serves up a couple of classics as well as an ever changing craft option.
This is obviously a pretentious bar and some of the people that drink there are clearly trying to impress their peers. The decor is frugal and minimal, but this isn't a bad thing, it totally suits the surroundings. This place is trying hard to not be like the iconic subculture that frequents the place. Though in saying that, most are made welcome and it is hard to feel totally out of place.
It is a no thrills place, but that is what makes this place a bar that go back to. No thrills service that is polite and prompt, no thrills beer that you would happily stock your fridge with and a no thrills environment that is both welcoming and non-conforming. It takes you back to what a public house should be, sit down, have a chat and drink copious amounts of beer. This is a place to bring your mates and while away a couple of hours in good company.
Tony says"It is reminiscent of a bar I used to frequent in East London, it does exactly what it says on the tin, but what does it say on the tin, all the stuff above"
Peter says "This is one of the first bars I went to when I arrived and have been back numerous times since, it is worth a try to form your own opinion, I think you will either love it or hate it"
