"Everything on the wall has a story to us. And if it doesn't I just make one up," laughs Tristan Brady-Jacobs, owner of Hobo Kiosk, the Baltic Triangle's most unique pub.
It's around 5pm on a Thursday, just minutes before the pub is due to open. Tristan sits on a bench in the back corner of the micro bar, dressed in a pinstriped blazer and bowler hat, sipping occasionally from a flask.
His wife, Delia, wearing a mustard-coloured beret, sits on a bar stool next to him, rising every so often to carry out a task behind the eccentrically decorated bar. The pub, found down in the basement of a surviving brick warehouse on the corner of Jamaica Street, first opened to punters four-and-a-half years ago after enjoying a previous life as a bazaar.
