More down to earth untrendy locals pub with a relaxed and cosy feel to it with the associated musty smell experienced in similar pubs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | All the expected full bodied hoppy fruity spiciness fulfilled. Almost perfect had it been served not so cccold!! |
| Disruption IS Brewing (sub-brand of Ascot) - Shadow of Darkness - Biscoff | 5.00 | | A complex plummy fruits with a roasted coffee flavour combined with a bitter kick made for an enjoyable pint. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

Arrived at around 9.30 and the places was rocking. Very cool band playing, very cool pub I liked it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dancing Man - Jack 'O' Diamonds | 4.50 | | After drinking this down the road I didn't fancy anything else. |
| Dancing Man - Pilgrim Pale Ale | 3.90 | | This came out very hazy and I got the impression it wasn't supposed to be. Tasted good though and didn't repeat on me so I'll give it a pass. |

Always good to visit this pub, which has the increased attraction of home-brewed beer since I was last here. All too short a stay, I would like to have remained longer to enjoy the beer and the live blues music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dancing Man - Big Casino IPA | 5.00 | | Amber-coloured. Big bitter and fruity hop flavours. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Seafarers Ale | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Dancing Man - Troubadour | 4.10 | Not Tried |
