Of interest to those on here who love their beer.........
Out last night with a bunch of chums. Designated meeting place, Berts Bar in William Street - famous as you all probably know for decent cask beer, convivial atmosphere, bike parking on the railings and pies, big pies, small pies, mini pies !!
Well, sad to say its been "done up" so you can forget all that.
It is now some poncified, "craft beer" gastro pub with menus on clipboards, bearded youth aplenty and waitress service.
The beer choice is rubbish, Williams range on keg is a bit old hat now and only a few cask offerings, none of which were inspiring.
Suffice to say, we drank one pint of the (not very good) Drygate beer, and decanted to Teuchters right across the road.
A proper pub with lots of well kept beers, busy and a great atmosphere - I should also say that the beer is considerably cheaper than the £4 a pint in Berts.
I looked across the road later in the evening from our (heaving) bar and there was plenty space and tables in Berts.
Such a shame
