This place has settled down after being taken over by the Firkin Beer Co a while ago. Focusing on Continental lagers and a good selection of Belgian beers, it's become an oasis of calm for the local area. Now it seems to have changed hands again, but we can't detect any major ructions. If you're there, it's worth considering to get away from the crowds that plague many nearby pubs. Give it a go.
