Looks like a standard, rather anonymous, post office pub with a mix of suits and skirts. Inside the modern exterior lurks a dark modern interior, lacking in soft furnishings so sound gets amplified. From this point onwards the experience improved dramatically. They have a beer menu and a lot of choice on draft. On 30 August 2007, there were two wheat beers on tap, Schneider Weisse and Franziskaner, plus Hoegarden, at least two fruit beers (Fruli, Liefmans), and a mix of lagers. The bottled beer collection covered continental beers as well as some more British. The draft Black Sheep was well kept, the Spitfire less so. The draft Maredsous Blonde was apparently great. The wannabe gastro food snacks, platters, all tasted good but are expensive.

On 1 October 2007, the draught ales were all off. I mostly drank Franziskaner, which I am glad to find I still love, though it's all fairly pricey (3 pounds a pint for Black Sheep, 3.85 a pint for Schneider Weisse). Not somewhere I'd want to spend a lot of time, but a good rendezvous point and not too horribly loud.
