Disappointing that some of the staff seemed to prefer gossiping with mates than serving customers.

Busy on the harbourside. Police on the alert for the over-enthusiastic. Looks like Thistly Cross cider is a permanent addition.

Good as ever. The guy with 'dreads' has a great eye for customer service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Cumbrian Five Hop | 5.00 | | Hoppy and bitter. Another 'no compromise' ale from Hawkshead. |

Just starting to get busy. Top beer choice. Five six'north beers on keg. Top place.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Independence | 4.60 | | Malty and hoppy. Just what's needed after a day in the 'Pleasure Palace'. |

Jammed. Bar staff busy but made no attempt to manage queue. He who shouts loudest gets served first. Not good.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | | Light and hoppy golden ale. |
| Magic Rock - Salty Kiss | 5.00 | Not Tried | Keg. |
