Very local-bar feel. Almost a dive, except that it is immaculately clean, and has a solid, working-class vibe. A bit difficult to find, but stood out easily once I got to the right area of south Stratford. The place reminded me of Archie Bunker's place until I tasted the beer, which was really quite unexpectedly good. Not the most sociable place, unless you are a regular, but the regulars seemed to be having a good convo.
