Part of the Curious Taverns group, it occupies a characterful spot with large glass windows to the front that lead out to an outdoor seating area overlooking the market square. Inside, a wooden counter and back bar stocked with spirits set the tone for a relaxed, sociable venue, and the bar operates card payments only.
