A neighborhood craft-beer anchor that does the rare thing: the food holds its own alongside the taps, so happy hour can turn into an actual meal. The room is casual and lived-in, built for repeat visits rather than special occasions.

Scotch egg, Irish sausage roll, Fried pickles

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is possible but competitive; expect to circle after 6pm. Metered spots nearby, no dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual and unfussy — jeans, sneakers, and everyday after-work wear fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to lively during happy hour; easy to talk early, gets louder as the room fills.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak hours if you arrive without a plan
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; counter and bar seating move quickly
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several veg-friendly starters and sides that pair well with beer.
Vegan options: Limited — a couple of sides or modifications work, but not a vegan-driven menu.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free options available; beer list is gluten-forward, so ask before ordering.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a low-pressure, casual first date than a romantic one — conversation-friendly early, with enough energy to avoid awkward silences.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially if you’re flexible with bar or high-top seating. Arriving before peak happy hour makes it much easier.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes — casual atmosphere and approachable food. Evenings skew adult and beer-focused.
Best For
Better for: Turning happy hour into a full meal, pairing solid comfort food with a genuinely good craft-beer lineup.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet, polished dining room or a wine/cocktail-first experience.
