EeBria are completely upfront with you as soon as you walk through the door, presenting you with a mission statement on a blackboard. "We don't brew beer. We don't have the skill, patience, passion or knowledge." What they do have, though, is large quantities of other people's beer, which they primarily aim to sell to you via mail order. But if you go to their premises on the Mile, you can also pick up some bottles over the counter, or try out one of the six guest beers they have on tap that day. (Sometimes those taps get used for very interesting themed takeovers - on our December 2018 visit, we relived our holiday from earlier that year by guzzling two of a selection of Estonian beers, Sori's Dark Humor Club imperial stout and Pohjala's Must Kuld porter.)
For a bar that's been set up as an afterthought for an online business, they've made a very good job of it, with lots of fun seating improvised from crates, a beer garden for nice days, and a mini shuffleboard for less nice days that require you to stay indoors. They're not exclusively cashless, but they seem to prefer cards.
One other thing to note - if you're scheduling your visit for late in the day, there seems to be some uncertainty as to when they close on a Saturday night. Depending on which signs you read, it might be 5pm, 5.30pm or 6pm. Bear that in mind, and don't leave it too late to call in.
