The taproom.

Twelve taps, 120 seats, one railway arch. The beer travels four metres from tank to glass and you can watch it not travelling the rest of the week.

Bank holidays: Sunday hours. Christmas: ask the dog, he decides.

Finding the arch.

Arch 23, Percival Works, Attercliffe, S9 3QD. Ten minutes on the tram from the city centre to Attercliffe stop, then follow the viaduct until you smell malt.

Cycle racks outside, step-free entrance, and a train overhead every twenty minutes. You stop noticing after the second pint; the dog never notices at all.

Worth knowing.

Food

A rotating street food residency runs Friday to Sunday. Currently: Smash It burgers, until the end of August.

You can bring your own food any time the kitchen is quiet. We will even lend you a fork.

Dogs

Welcome everywhere except behind the bar, and that is only because of the glassware. Water bowls, biscuits, one resident lurcher called Bramble with strong opinions about crisps.

Kids

Welcome until 7pm with an adult in charge. Colouring stuff behind the bar, and the canning line window is better than television.

Access

Step-free from street to seat. Accessible loo, lowered bar section, large-print tap lists. Quietest slots: Thursday and Sunday afternoons.

On the taps.

The core six always. The rest of the board rotates through one-offs, collabs and a couple of guest lines from breweries we rate. Cask on the handpull at weekends.

Thirds, halves, pints, and four-third flights on a steel tray for £9. Growler fills for the road.

Meet the core six

The residency.

Every couple of months we hand the kitchen counter to someone who knows what they are doing. They cook, we pour, everyone wins, especially you.

Want the counter next? We take pitches every season from street food traders who can handle a busy Saturday.
