This is the smallest and the longest established of the Burton Road bars and is possibly more characterful and quirky than its later-arriving cousins. The interior iss not large, yet they manage to make good use of it with a disparate array of furniture seemingly crammed into a relatively small space. Beyond the bar there is a small additional seating area at the rear. An array of furniture styles provides for comfort in the narrow space. Cupcakes and such were available during the day, supplemented by a full menu from opening time till 9 daily. Latterly, the cask beer was a feature here with three beers normally being on, usually from but not always local such as First Chop, Marble, Hornbeam, and Dark Star breweries. No cask cider, but good bottled variants complimented a range of British and foreign bottled beers. Quirky, and a fun place to drink and socialise. Can get very busy inside and out, so you may have to stand at the bar.
