Atmosphere and Ambiance

Pros:

  • "The Taproom has a really great atmosphere, you really feel at home."
  • "The atmosphere is fantastic, and the team always super friendly and attentive."
  • "The interior is inviting, spacious and really well laid out."
  • "It sits at the end of Ashton Lane which is a hub of activity and life in the West end."
  • "Great atmosphere and service is great."
  • "The atmosphere inside was jovial and our dog loved all the attention he received by staff and customers."
  • "It was really busy inside and out but we managed to gather together a table and chairs outside."
  • "Bright, stripped back deco upstairs with views overlooking Ashton Lane."

Cons:

  • "The interior had plenty of seating, but was a little dark."
  • "Just down a star as it was absolutely baltic upstairs."
  • "The atmosphere was a bit dingy, its been a while since I was here and I think its not as appealing from my last visit."
  • "The bar has an industrial feel that's in keeping with the Tap Room Experience, great selection of draft beers. My only negative is that the seating isn't particularly comfortable."
  • "Order had 2 mistakes which both were swiftly dealt with however later on it was discovered we had been overcharged too. The main problem however is a really bad smell sewer from the toilets is filling the whole place."
  • "It's a small place but brimming with character, I would recommend it to anyone!"
  • "Was here for a business meeting, food was very poor standard, music too loud and as most staff where young they did not have a clue."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "Staff were friendly and helpful, beer was pukka."
  • "Craig was a great host. His knowledge is second to none."
  • "The staff is very kind, welcoming and prepared."
  • "The staff were amazing, even making a list of mocktails for me and the guests who weren't drinking."
  • "The staff were top notch. Drinks arrived quickly and food arrived with good time between courses."
  • "The staff were happy to discuss the brewing process and answer questions."
  • "We were served by a very friendly bar tender who also provided a bit a tasting before we purchased."
  • "Very friendly and efficient service. Would only have been better if there had been table service rather than ordering at the bar."

Cons:

  • "However my group got asked to leave due to someone apparently being too drunk. The staff oddly couldn't point out who it was and refused to elaborate."
  • "As a brewery/beer garden, it was great service and selection. We felt our food was overpriced and the quality was mediocre."
  • "Service was extremely slow and it wasn't busy at all while we were there."
  • "The service was very slow and not particularly friendly. When the food arrived, some parts of the dish were missing."
  • "Shocking service. Arrived on Sunday night with my girlfriend and waited for 10 minutes at a table with no service."
  • "The service was very slow, 25 minutes from ordering to first course and further 30 minutes to receive mains."
  • "Some staff we met where rude."
  • "Went for steak frites Sunday night. We’d been in the city taproom and loved it, and were surprised that this surpassed it!"

Food and Drink Quality

Pros:

  • "We ate a delicious and crunchy fish and chips. The portions are very big and the price are not high."

  • "The beer is incredible & the food even better!! Full of flavour, loads of choice and good value for money we will definitely be returning to Innis & Gunn."

  • "Food was pretty poor, cold and not as described on the menu."
  • "Offers a nice selection of drinks (especially beer) and serves generic pub grub. I personally was unimpressed with my burger and thought it was an overpriced McDonald's burger."

  • "Food service can be super slow."
  • "Thought well another fast food experience. How wrong can a person be I loved the food experience IT WAS DELICIOUS."
