Went last night for the first time for the live music. Band was great, beer selection was top notch, the bartenders, though really friendly and helpful, were painfully overworked and under staffed.The entire night there was what I could only describe as a mob surrounding the bar. It took at least fifteen if not twenty minutes to reach the bar itself, before even getting to speak to anyone.I really wanted to like this place. The beer selection is really tasty and interesting (though I could hardly justify buying different types to try as the wait times were so long), and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, but if this is what a Saturday night is like, there is no way I am even coming close to this place during the Fringe.TLDR: This place would be perfect if they had more staff on.

Extraordinary beers
Carmélo NOTORIO (Melo)
Very good cocktail, the service was excellent and we were allowed to take part in a quiz where the winner wins a round of beer, very good atmosphere
Adam Keyworth
Great beer selection, not too pricey, lovely venue, knowledgeable staff and fab outdoor seating area.
Ole Sørensen
Good looking place. The taplist was pretty boring when I visited.
Dave Brown
Really friendly and helpful bar staff who genuinely know their beers - refreshing to find such passion! Fantastic little bar with a great cosy atmosphere.
Donal Mac Carthy
Great selection of beers, reasonable price and always a good atmosphere.
Beth Rust
My favourite bar in the entire world. Incredible range of beers, excellent service from the friendly and knowledgeable bar staff, and you can even order a delicious Pizza Geeks pizza to your table!
Stephen Davies
Excellent service with very good selection of high quality ales. Not been a real ale bar that has had better tasting ales than this. Highly recommend.
Knight Mair
Came in for a few fresh pints on a random Tues. Bar staff were very attentive and helped me find the right beer for me (I sampled several first!) Piers kept me in good chat, and I had a lovely evening. Beautiful, chilled location, would highly recommend. My only regret is not actually drinking anything made by Campervan; next time...
Nice place, but the staff was rude and not helpful at all... No "thank you" or "please". Badly poor Guinness.

It takes a huge amount of effort to get to where Lost is. In London the pub railway arches are often characterised by mould. Here, the similar arches (not sure they are railway?!) are spotlessly clean. I've docked a star (sorry) because it just lacked the je ne sais quoi for me. Generous beer selection although unsure what was local and really bias towards American and IPA. There are other styles! Service very transactional (fair enough...was a decent quiz evening).
Okghum Ramari
One of our favourite tappies. Always have a really great range of excellent and interesting local tipples and very happy to nerd out about beer. Geordie guy is always a delight to talk to, as are all staff and probably deserve a pay rise.
Steven McCluskey
Great selection of rotating beers to suit all tastes and

Great venue, nice ambient but just a bit difficult to find and with city center price.
