Visit: 3 April 2019 Popped in once since my last review and again tonight when I had a hugely enjoyable evening at a Wicked Weed sour beer tasting event that was held upstairs. Genuinely friendly and enthusiastic staff guiding us through a superb selection of beers, some I may not have picked myself. I highly recommend paying a visit if you find yourself in the area. Visit: 22 March 2019 I've visited twice so far since it opened and enjoyed it both times. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about what they sell, there seems to be a core Goose Island offering on keg but that still leaves plenty to choose from. That said, the fridges are where the magic happens with a terrific selection of sharing bottles, unless you're greedy/thirsty and keep them to yourself. There's a small take away discount so you can recreate the experience at home without the crowd. Limited seating downstairs but tables and some tabletop arcade games upstairs along with some self-pour taps. Load up credit on a card, insert and pour your own. A bit gimmicky perhaps but I'm sure it'll appeal to some. They serve door-stopper sized toasted sandwiches but I'll be honest and say I'm not convinced they'd get more than a 1 star hygiene rating. A nice idea but perhaps not prepped & cooked right behind the bar?

Discovered, by accident, this new craft beer place at the north end of Smithfield Market. It still smells new! Good selection of draught beers plus a huge bottle fridge. Pour-your-own beer upstairs sounds like a fun option with a gang of mates after work. Quiet when I visited (2pm on a Wednesday afternoon) - so I must come back when it’s busier - and hopefully up my rating to 5 stars. Shout out to Amy for taking the time to explain how upstairs works. I shall be back!
