Mad Squirrel Tap & Bottleshop

Great beer selection and very friendly and helpful staff (happy to guide us through the huge list of beers available)!! The place has a cool vibe and two nice terraces: one outside and one covered. They also have food (American pizza) but it is a bit slow to come (if you are a group), it is not amazing but decent for a pub!

Went for a quick drink early on Saturday evening. The Mad Squirrel brewery makes a wide range of craft beers from milk stout to IPA to Pilsner. This bar carries the complete range along with a handful of guest beers. If you want to sample several beers without getting too drunk they offer half pint, third pint and even two-third pint measures (as well as full pints!). The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the range. They're happy to offer a taste before you commit to a particular beer. For non-beer drinkers they carry some gins and I saw some prosecco but I can't comment on their soft drink selection because we didn't have any! My milk stout was a creamy and sweet with toasty flavours and a little sharpness. The Sumo IPA had lovely grapefruit flavours and the London Porter was good and bitter. Clientele was a healthy mix of young and old, men and women. Once it filled up a bit the atmosphere was good and lively but not too noisy so that conversation was still possible at a reasonable volume. We didn't try the food but it looked fine and I'll be trying it next time we go.
