Care for a drink?

We specialise in craft beer – not just any ‘craft beer’, but the finest beers from all over the world. You can find on our ever-changing taplist at the moment: Stone Go To IPA, Stone Pale Ale, Stone 19th Anniversary Thunderstruck IPA, Garage Project Sauvin Nouveau 2015, Garage Project Cookies And Cream, Garage Project Dirty Boots, Garage Project White Mischief, Sierra Nevada River Ryed Rye IPA, Moor Beer Company B-Moor, Badlands Brewery Draughty Kilt and more. For the full list, see nowtapped.com/thelocaltaphousedl.

Sounds:

We have an exceptionally good playlist encompassing some of the best tunes old and new – hip hop to foot-stomping folk – hand-crafted by the whole team here. We like to think we know a thing about good music. Music and beer go hand in hand and we’re pretty adept at both.

Highlights:

So many! We showcase the best breweries in the world and invite guest brewers to come along and give talks on their beer and share the knowledge and love of good beer and good beer-making. The rooftop is also beautiful and great for a summer’s afternoon sipping on a nice crisp sour beer, such as Garage Project’s White Mischief.
