Cracking Pint

In 2017, a local CAMRA member opened a spacious micro bar situated adjacent to the canal on the main pedestrian shopping street. The bar typically offers three rotating real ales, primarily sourced from local breweries, with a few options from breweries further afield. Additionally, the bar boasts an impressive selection of bottled beers, many of which are imported from Germany. This bar is unique in its focus on fostering conversation among patrons, as it does not feature piped music, television screens, or fruit machines. It provides a refreshing environment where the art of conversation is valued and encouraged. The bar is also known for its welcoming atmosphere. Dogs and their well-behaved owners are always welcome to enjoy the relaxed ambiance. Furthermore, children are also welcome at the bar, but only until 6pm. This policy ensures that the bar maintains a family-friendly environment during the day, while providing a more adult-oriented atmosphere in the evening. In summary, this spacious micro bar, opened by a local CAMRA member, offers a unique and welcoming environment for beer enthusiasts, families, and pet owners alike. With its focus on conversation, locally sourced ales, and a wide selection of bottled beers, it provides a unique experience for all patrons.
