Really good beers in a nice, pleasant hutong space. Sampled a few of the different beers and none disappointed.

An impressive potential challenger to Jing A/Slow Boat/Great Leap, especially as the Arrow Factory beers are also served next door in Stuff'd, where you can get really good English-style bar food.

However, I do have one criticism and that is about the local member of staff employed. Although the bar was not busy, he spent half his time sat around watching loud videos on his mobile phone, which competed with the music and ruined the ambience. I half expect staff in cheap local restaurants to mess about on their phones, pick their noses, clip their nails (seen it all!) and generally be inattentive, but when a bar/eatery is charging western prices I expect them to train their staff in western service standards and not annoying the customers.
