1900 and all quiet before the music gets going. Aside from the 3 GK usuals, not exactly a good selection on tonite.

| Thwaites - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | Not Tried | Gone! |

Had a bit of a refit since the last time I was here, quite smart.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Tolly Cobbold Phoenix | 4.20 | | Reddish brown, thin beige head. Diacetyl jumps out of the glass with a touch of fruit. Diacetyl bomb with some red fruits. I would rather drink GK IPA than this and I had to pay £1.55 for the pleasure of a half pint. Fruity bitter with not much body, too much butter and not much hop. |

Here to watch the group Punkaholix who were very good. The beers however were very average and the majority served with giant unwanted heads! The lagers had even larger heads.

In Earl Street, entering through the front door there is a room at the front with the bar to the right serving 6 handpumps then a couple of rooms off to the left and at the back.
