Visited The Faraday for the first time tonight. I never managed to stop in while it was The Vestry, but the pubs new makeover peaked my interest.
It has a fun hipster sort of vibe inside, with a number of interesting seating areas, front and back gardens, and an upstairs. They have a humble little selection of craft beers on tap (about 5 I think,) but they look like they rotate out regularly. The Faraday also seems to have a respectable wine and cocktail menu, as well as the standard draft lagers if that's your thing.
We only had a pint before moving on tonight, but the menu looks promising, in a gastro pub sort of way. The staff seem to be plentiful and courteous, which is always a bonus (we were asked if we were being served by about three bartenders while ours was drawing our pints.)
They have some odd little features that I found interesting, such as printing services, spare chargers, and even an app that let's you control the virtual jukebox. Little things, but unique nonetheless.
All in all, we had a nice evening for our first stop at The Faraday, and I look forward to returning again soon. read more
