Located to the west of the Old Town, Animal Army Brewery, yet the premises are called The Fiddler. A popular venue, especially with younger drinkers.
With two floors and multiple TV screens, as much as Sports Bar, as an English Pub which they are apparently trying to emulate.
In addition to the seven House Biere, there is a standard European range of alternatives on tap. Perhaps the bog standard is what attracts the younger crowd.
The staff went out of their way to accommodate.

Good body for abv.
More chocolate than coffee.
Quaffable.
Food was found to be both expensive and misleading. Fish & Chips was lacking in the former and excessive in the latter.
