This is the first pub owned by Galway Bay Brewery in the North of Ireland. They took over the former Brewbot site at the end of 2017. It is very much a modern craft beer bar with up to twenty changing beers on draught; around ten are from their own portfolio and the rest from a variety of craft producers. They also have an impressive selection of bottles and canned beer. Reports June 2026 said the handpumps were no longer in use.

Winter (November to April) opening time is 4pm.
