Established in 2011 by the folk behind Common Bar, , Port Street Beer House has been the epicentre of the craft beer movement, spawning the iconic IndyManBeerCon festival at Victoria Baths. With seven handpumps, 18 draught lines and over 100 bottled beers plus any number of meet the brewer events, this is hop lover and stout stalwart heaven. The look is hipster bar but the absence of cocktails and food and the sheer devotion to beer make it a pub in our eyes – and a damned good one. Pleasant, sheltered beer garden, too. Limited opening hours early in the week. Please check.
