Open, airy and welcoming, this functional bar has vast beer choices on tap and more in bottles and cans, the spirit gantry is impressive.
The food menu is soul and comfort well cooked and no frills, just good food. Match with your beer of choice and enjoy.
The staff know their product and are happy to guide and share, a great bunch of guys and gals.
I have enjoyed hospitality at six degrees several times and will do so again.
Great venue, great beer, food and spirit menus, great night out.

Great beer and great service. Only issue I would say is that when going to the bar to get served it’s quite awkward as the pumps running across the bar are at eye level with the person serving.

I love 6degreesNorth - one of the best places in town. The beer is always fresh and delicious. Plenty good drink options for non beer people (my mum loved all the drinks she had). Never had food this time but we regularly order food here and for delivery as they have the most amazing loaded fries! Can't praise the service enough - all the bar staff are friendly and an asset to the company. The text at table service is the best I wish more pubs we went to had this. It's a pleasure visiting and can't wait to come back.

I would appreciate more vegetarian options re: food. It would also be good if the card machine was offered when stuff is brought out to the table, as a few times a member of the party has left, forgetting they haven’t paid, as usually at pubs one pays when the drinks are brought! :)

Really great wee bar- will be back. Service was very quick when ordering a drink/food, and food was lovely from smoke & soul. Also a great selection of beers on tap. The only downside was that I noticed a couple walk in and wait to be seated for a good ten minutes and no staff were about to serve them so unfortunately they left. Feel like there needs to be more presence behind the bar itself, as it’s a pity to miss walk ins like that. All in all, a great place and will be returning.

Lovely team in a pretty cool and stylish little restaurant. Have to say it was freezing inside though. Food was very good, only downside was there was barely any BBQ sauce in my burger. Loaded fries were brilliant! Bit awkward ordering at the bar because there’s a big metal pipe that’s used for the beers which blocks the view of the server, so you have to duck to look under it or tip toe to see them over the top. Would definitely go back again!

The place feels cold when you walk in. I had to keep my coat on the whole time. Service was a bit slow, despite it not being that busy. There was a couple who came in after us who were served before us. My friend's burger was served without fries, but it was rectified. The food was excellent though, as were the espresso martinis!

Your food is gorgeous, and great value for money, but it was baltic and I couldn't take my jacket off. I hear you're planning on upgrading that, so hope you manage that soon, or it will be a major turn off for returning any time soon. The beer pumps are a bit ridiculous too, can't see the bar staff to speak to them, but that's only a minor grumble. Wish you guys the best, cos we need more pubs with great food.

Please change your ordering process. Coke take the orders, both food and drink. The experience of going to the bar every time we needed anything made it feel cheap and certainly didn't match the expectation set by the pricing. Food was good.

it felt like there was absolutely no heating that night. the bar was freezing, there was no sign / note or any sort of apologies from the place / staff about the inconvenience caused, which I found disappointing. everybody was wearing jackets indoors, which isn't right at this time of year. beer selection was also lacking in my opinion, compared the the vast choice there is in general (all 4x tv screens were off and only a handful of beers available)
