The crowd was a mix of young people and girls, offering a great selection of ales and top-notch dining options. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was clear that the staff put in the effort to make this a great neighborhood pub.

There were so many good beers to choose from, but some of the more unique ones were the spiced porters, blueberry white beer, and celestial cheesecake beer. The service was a bit mixed, with one server being fantastic - cheerful, helpful, and knowledgeable about the drinks, while the other seemed quite miserable and barely said a word. It was disappointing to find out that they no longer accept cash, as I had only brought my card and had to split the bill with friends. I also wondered if contactless payments would mean the end of tipping the bar staff (and potentially the end of when it's time to go home because of using cards).

I've been told that the quality can vary, but overall it's a unique spot nestled among the arches of the railway. They offer a wide selection of craft beers and even have Carlsberg San Miguel for those who prefer a more familiar taste.

If you're a fan of craft beer, it's definitely worth a visit. They have an extensive selection, and the staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. With such a variety of beers available, having helpful guidance is a big plus, and you’ll be able to find the right one for you with just a few questions about your preferences. They also have a wood-fired pizza oven and serve food until late. It's a great spot to check out—unless you’re a fan of Fosters or Carling, in which case you might find a more suitable place nearby.
