Pub

👍👍 This place is the best testimony where this area is headed, friendly, laid back, excellent customer service and an interesting concept. The guys have a fantastic knowledge about beers and welcomes everyone. Went on a Sunday afternoon and had a great time and tried some fantastic beers.

Crafty Casks Taproom

Pub

😐 Quite disappointing. Looked like a decent list of ales but I couldn't find them on untapped. When I asked the staff, they didn't know what brewery any of the ales were from and I later realised some of the names were wrong - which is a real shame. I don't like drinking if I don't know what I'm drink...
