Keg beer bar in Portswood area. No food. Though crisps are available.

| Ambience |
Small place. Two other customers in my daytime visit - old men like me, so we have a chat about the old days.

| Range of keg taps |
There's about 12 kegs with a mix of cider, lager, some Belgium, and two British ales. Seating is benches, stools, and a couple of chairs. The benches are a bit uncomfortable.

It was hard to select a beer as the keg taps are a distance away so I couldn't see the keg clips clearly. I asked the woman serving if there was any cask beer, but she wasn't familiar with the term, and got a little confused, so I assumed that there wasn't. I asked her to tell me what the beers were, and she - bless her - read out each name, but it was difficult to get important information such as if it was a cider or a beer, and what the strength was. I took a photo of all the taps, but when I zoomed it I still couldn't make out the details, so I asked the woman to take a photo of the clip that looked most likely.
The beer was pleasant enough. Served a little too cold for my taste, though one of the regulars appreciated that his Guinness was chilled.

Not a destination pub, but certainly a casual, laid back, and useful place for locals.
