First drinks: Were ordered at the bar, from a pretty lacklustre bartender. We went with a couple of cold beers chosen from the full Mac's range available on tap at the Union Post. We also tried one of the sweet, recently returned Isaac's cocktail creations called Peach Party (apple cider with a shot of peach ice tea and a squeeze of lemon over ice). We'd stick to beers.
The vibe is: friendly, cosy and relaxed - much like other brew bars in the Mac's family that we've visited. It feels and looks familiar - with quirky pendant lights, exposed brick, tall wooden stools and brown leather arm chairs.
It smells of: Nothing but the cool, crisp autumn breeze blowing in the front windows.
On the stereo: Is a mix of casual, inoffensive pop rock with something to please everyone. My companion described it as "sympathetic to the patrons".
