Late afternoon and surprisingly busy nigh on standing room only. Reconfigured since my last visit the bar now extends diagonally from the rear of the pub to the entrance. Sadly loses IMO it's Micropub status thanks to the loud music encouraging folk who wish to converse to shout.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - One Inch Punch | 3.90 | | Fruity tropical hazy hoppy broth |
| Gun - Chummy Bluster | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Mid afternoon just after 3pm opening a couple already in. I liked the cosy set up to this place pity only two cask ales on offer.

Mid evening visit. Good to see a good proportion of customers here are ladies, several in groups of their own.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Pint (was 3.9%) | 3.40 | | |
| Ledbury Real Ales - Ledbury Dark | 3.90 | | A traditional dark mild, a rarity hereabouts these days |
| Southwark - Bankside Blonde | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Mid evening visit, my first here since it opened a week ago. Compact and intimate with a bar counter at an angle at the rear. Limited seating due to restricted floor space. Very friendly bar staff learning their trade and keen for suggestions for future beers. I did notice that it was the keg beers from the 6 wall taps that was outselling the handpumped cask ales by a long chalk.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Chocolate Stout | 5.00 | | Not moving fast here compared to keg sales |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Roadkill Opaque IPA | 6.50 | Not Tried |

Micropub in converted coach company premises in Halfway Street with opened on Friday 16th March 2018. You'll find it next door to the Coop in a parade of shops. Smaller than many micropubs and serving real ales through 3 handpumps. There are 6 keg beer lines, dispensed from taps on the rear wall, which seem very popular too here. One step up to the Gents and Ladies loos at the rear.
