Craft Taproom

Love this place! Best alt pub in the area. Lovely staff and great atmosphere, they have a fantastic selection of craft drinks. They even sell PBR American classic. What I love the most about this place is the gluten free range. Difficult to get gluten free stout and crafts in most Bars Pubs, usually have to settle for a depressing GF peroni or no beer. They have also recenty started serving GF food and snacks which is even better. All you GF people can relate. It can be difficult eating out it's so refreshing to see more places introducing GF range stoked!

Really great little place to spend NYE. Relaxed place to meet with friends and have a drink. Found ourselves a table in a corner before it got too busy and enjoyed ourselves a range of drinks - beer, ale, stout, negronis, espresso martini. Friendly staff, decent folks on the door, and a good atmosphere.

Black Cat is hands down my favourite bar on Smithdown Road. It's got everything you could want from a local. Great and ever changing selection of ales, lagers and gins. Food available from Basha next door. Two excellent pub quizzes on a Wednesday & a Sunday (booking a table via their website is advised, it's very popular). Loads of seating areas, sport shown on multiple TVs and the bar staff are a delight. Can't recommend it highly enough.
