Since opening this place has been our go to as a young family with other young family friends as it is a great open space and had always felt welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately the dark haired lady bar manager did not make it feel so welcoming yesterday. We were told that there were complaints that our 2 girls were running around which I completely understood and we were actually already addressing the issue. When I explained that I agreed and we had gotten up to keep them to the back room where nobody was seated she then said that the complaints were actually about them screaming which I am not so sure was the case. We were then told they had to be seated at the table the entire time, it's quite a tricky task to keep 2 3 year olds sat down at a table indefinitely. It's also strange because it has always seemed like 30-40% of there clients are young families during the early afternoon on a weekend (this was about 14.30 on a saturday), maybe it's time to find a new venue :(

Surprisingly big tap room, offering around 20 taps and plenty more in the fridges. Generally very good, Their own food options are supported by food trucks in the large outdoor area. Avoid the music events if you want to have a conversation (or discuss anything with the staff).

Sexy venue. Great friendly staff and the beer is nice... if you like modern ipa type beer that is. Beautiful interior and comfy seating. Was expecting it to be noisy being basically in a warehouse but acoustics were good and nice sound system. Mostly fairly young crowd. A wee bit too hipster ish for me.
