| Back in here as the starting location for a crawl around Chelmsford. Excellent selection of real and keg ales and ciders (it's on Untappd so you can see what is available). The only downside was the lack of wi-fi (its got something to do with the trains above interfering with the signal). Well worth a visit though. zipdiskdude - 9 Dec 2025 22:15 |

| This place has helped me to see the error of my ways. Being of the generation X persuasion, I was as suspicious of the millennial hipsters ( my daughter’s generation) with their sinister beards, stomach churning piercings,and general “look at me, haven’t I suffered and aren’t I caring” demeanour as I was of my parents’ self-righteous hippy turned yuppie, baby boom generation. This place has taught me that there is one thing the hipsters and I have in common… ale! Their taste in beer tends to the experimental, but I am starting to embrace that a bit and even go so far as to sample some of the more far out brews that this establishment has on offer. Any member of the site interested in real ale (and let’s face it you wouldn’t be looking at the site if you weren’t) ought to include this place on a “to visit” list. You will be presented with a truly gobsmacking variety of beers to suit any taste. You will also find this one of the friendliest and most accommodating bars in town with loveable hipsters at the bar to give you the lowdown on the bewildering selection of tasty alcoholic stuff they sell. Don’t worry about feeling out of place, practically everyone who actually drinks there is a generation x or babyboomer anyway! I rate this as a 9. Jay28 - 3 Jan 2023 14:57 |
| A tad hipsterish but okay as bars in railway arches go. anonymous - 8 Apr 2018 10:19 |
| Excellent bar under the railway station. A wide selection of cask and keg beers on offer. zipdiskdude - 22 Jan 2018 23:44 |
