I wasn't tremendously impressed with the Cane & Grain.

I went on a weekday night and it was packed, which probably means it's popular, but my group and I couldn't work out why.

The decor is great - particularly the woodwork at the bar and the outdoor seating area (which is where we ended up, in the cold due to lack of available seating indoors). However that's where my enthusiasm began and ended. As a cider and gin drinker, I found the drinks selection quite paltry.

The overly loud music didn't redeem the venue, although having to sit outside at least relieved us of having to endure this and gave us the chance to talk properly.

All in all, it's a bit of a "thumbs down" from me.
