Don't get fooled - this is a pub. It's loud. It's crowded. The place was full on a Wednesday evening (granted, the weather was very nice and everybody was out).
The beer is the main interest here, and it's very good. I had two oat ales (Edimburg) which were pretty good (I'm not very detailed in beer tasting - it's either good or not good with me, and this was good). The food was also very good, chips with pulled pork sandwich, the portion was reasonable (I hate when the plate is monstruously covered with food, and this burger was exactly the right size). Also had a nacho plate with friends.
My only downside was the selection of food. I wished there were just a few more options to choose from. Not a 5 page menu, but just something like 5-6 more items.
