Evening - had walked straight past it earlier. Bad news though - all 3 pumpclips turned round as they had run out at the weekend with a mad Rugby rush and had been unable to re-stock. Have listed the beers that might have been on if if if!

The pub is found in Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2 0QB.

A full renovation by Steamin' Billy Brewery of the former Time Bar. An L shaped property with entrances in London Road (right next door to the railway station) and round the corner in Station Street. Opened February 2013 and has a cocktail bar feel with restaurant seating away from the bar. 3 handpumps (a 4th added later) on opening intended to sell Steamin' Billy real ales. The layout is on several levels. Steamin' Billy beers were brewed originally at Leatherbritches Brewery then Grainstore Brewery then Tower Brewery then, once again, Grainstore and since March 2013 at Belvoir Brewery. CAMRA card holders receive the same discounts here as holders of the Steamin' Billy loyalty card. Pub closed in July 2023; the building is proposed to be demolished in connection with alterations to the entrance to Leicester railway station.

We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 7 different beers and tried 4 of them.
