No cask. Keg offering of two from the Big Hug Brewing Co, the Hibernation and the Juicy Pale plus two from Lost & Grounded, the Keller Pils and the Extra Nice Lager.

Glass fronted and dark bare boarded wine bar with an interesting keg beer offering. The bar counter is a two-sided affair off the rear right-hand corner with some tall stool seating at the extremities of the bar counter. Walls are bare brick and there is a confessional box on the left-hand wall before a line of small tables with a variety of chairs to the rear left-hand corner. At the front there is a studded leather sofa in the left-hand corner and then a mish mash of tables and chairs plus then a couple of small church pew style benches along the front part of the right-hand wall serving a variety of tables. A tall fridge to the right-hand side of the front edge of the bar counter hosts their wine offering by the bottle. No screens, nice lighting and a decent laid back music soundtrack added to the ambience of the venue, which had a distinct Gothic feel. I liked this venue, no cask obviously but otherwise an interesting venue.
