Converted to pub use in 1996 as one of McGowan's Irish bars which installed handpumps to sell real ale, although it did not last. In winter 2016 became the area's first craft beer bar offering up to 20 keg beers (many from London) and a very large bottled selection, many of which are bottle conditioned. It once stocked a real cider in the form of a bag in the box in the fridge - but that seems to have gone.

That list is updated on their untappd profile and changes are tweeted regularly. Diagonally opposite Willesden Green tube. The same operator runs The Stag in Hampstead and The Mall in Notting Hill. A nano brewery called Project 88 was also in operation at the site but no more.

Payment can be made by card only - no cash. The chain operates a card based scheme such that for each £10 payment you get a token and when you accumulate 10 tokens you can use them to get a £10 credit.
