The Organ Grinder

Our Take

Blue Monkey Brewery pub with a two-level beer garden where part sits on the rooftop—hanging baskets, benches, and a relaxed sun trap perfect for working through their fine ale selection. The rooftop element adds that elevated drinking experience without the premium pricing or pretentious atmosphere. Traditional pub snacks like pork pies and Scotch eggs keep things properly old-school, while the brewery credentials mean the beer selection is genuinely excellent. Roaring fire in winter, lush garden in summer proves this pub understands all-season drinking. The split-level layout means finding a spot never feels impossible even when busy. Perfect for afternoon sessions that start with "just one" and end several hours later because the vibe simply works. This is brewery-owned pub culture done right.
