What johnwizz doesn't like about The Hole In The Wall:
Popped in for a pint before eating next door. Service was good and the place is nice. The beer is well kept but my IPA tasted a bit like mouthwash to me. I am sure this was just my personal taste as I enjoy most middle-of-the-road ales. View all feedback. What User likes about The Hole In The Wall:
