This popular bar has become another King Street staple, with around 30 draught beers and ciders in a wide variety of styles across all formats, though generally only two are cask. Beers are served in ¹/₃, ½, ⅔ or pint measures, depending on the style and strength. The bottled beer list majors on UK and Belgian sours and spontaneously fermented beers. Wings Diner offers Asian fried chicken and chips with vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Additional seating is on the upper two floors, including a cosy lounge with comfy, old-fashioned leather chairs on the second floor open on busy evenings and at weekends. The pub hosts regular tap takeovers showcasing many of the UK's most innovative breweries. The Small Bar is card payment only.
