DRINK UP: The Scratch

Answered by: Benjamin Nichols

What's your bar's specialty drink? The many rotating craft beer taps! 

8/1 Park Rd, Milton scratchbar.com

What drink turns you off? Fizzy yellow water that advertises itself as beer. 

What makes your bar different? Ugly, but friendly bar staff that will give you a taste of all five taps that we have pouring whenever you walk through the door. 

Who will I meet at your bar? Charlie from down the road, Graham if he clocks off early today and Max if he didn't get on it the night before. 

What's the design/atmosphere of your bar? It's a bit like our extended living room. You'll find boards games, comfy seats and the war scars of many a late night. 

Who is pouring at your bar and what makes them special? You'll find the owners (Ben, Kieran and Shev), who are not special in any way. We have a great family beyond that of particularly special beer nerds.

Best hangover cure? The smiles of the staff at Bunker Coffee.
