This microbar opened in October 2022 in premises which were previously occupied by a computer repair and sales shop. A fusion of both bar and café, this is very community focussed with a diverse clientele, the aim being to bring the local community together.
As a café by day (until 5 pm), this offers locally roasted coffee and cake supplied by local Wee Cupcakes. The bar opens later for beer, wine and local gin plus other drinks. Cask ales are served from a cold room at the rear, as well as seven assorted keg beers (including Meantime, Signature Brew and Brew York) and a cider.
The venue is larger than the limited frontage would indicate with floor to ceiling windows. There is plenty of seating on high cushioned benches and stools around high tables. The décor is bold and modern with bare electric ceiling lighting, blue walls with ornate yellow wallpaper plus wooden flooring throughout. The walls are adorned with artworks showcasing local artists (some are for sale). The interior pays tribute to the musician David Bowie (he grew up and went to school nearby in the 1950s) with a large mural plus other photos.
The name is taken from a beer-house which existed nearby for a short while in the 19th century.
Opening times shown are for the sale of alcohol. This opens earlier in the day as a cafe as follows: Monday to Friday 8.15 am, Saturday 9 am, Sunday 12 noon (until 5 pm every day)
