Great spot! Recommend for social drinks and other casual engagements.
Nice long bar meets ample indoor seating which flows into limited outdoor seating options. Most importantly, the beer was absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful; overwhelmed by menu options I advised my usual beer preferences and was promptly (and accurately) guided to a few options, which I tried and loved.
Turns out this building use to be a school - Got talking to some friendly locals who explained they used to take classes in the same room we were currently drinking! Turns out that although many things have changed (namely, the addition of a bar) many things have not (for example the same tiles line the wall of the corridor behind the bar).
Catering is provided by a rotating foodtruck out the front and a friendly restaurant next door. So you'll have two menus for food, but neither is actually in the same shop you are. That being said my food was delicious (lobster food truck out front), so no complaints on this front either.
Definitely gets busy (nearly packed on Trivia Wednesday when I came by), so might be advisable to arrive early if you want a table.
All in all, highly recommend for casual drinks and other low key events. Would definitely have capacity for large groups, but bookings would be essential.
