Reviews of The West End Brewery

K. B.

My nephew and I had a few beers here the other day. We were delighted to see a great selection of ales on tap and an eclectic touch of bottle beers from Belgium and Germany. Tasty beer, hot pizzas and very nice aura. Well done!

J. P.

Very much enjoyed my visit here. A very friendly, but subdued atmosphere on my trip. Good music in the background and a wide variety of beer on tap and in the fridge with plenty of other drinks options available. Many beets made on site in the brewery and fresh on tap to enjoy. Freshly made pizzas available with a nice selection of toppings and very well priced throughout. Will definitely be visiting again and well worth the trip outside of Leicester city centre for a visit.

A. M.

P. L.

A fantastic pub, easily one of the best in Leicester. Amazing beer brewed on site and a fantastic selection of guest beers.

K. E.

It gets really busy on match days so be prepared. Tiny in house brewery produces a highly drinkable range of real ales. Super friendly team (they even gave us a peak behind the scenes) and freshly made pizza also available. Always on the list when doing the rounds of real pubs/bars in town

P. R.

Great brewery tap with 4 real ales. Excellent choice of craft and bottle beers. Belgium 🇧🇪features. Very enjoyable visit. Highly recommended

L. F.

Wonderful atmosphere and even better beer. A must visit when in the west end.

Compact and popular public house. This is the Brewery tap of "The West End Brewery" who brew at the rear of the property. The public house itself is what was the former "Looking Glass" bar - which was a mirror shop before that. It sprawls across what were two narrow moderate length shops. Seating is mostly around small tables with some padded benches. Disabled accessible entrance but no disabled toilets (toilets are downstairs). Has the range of WEB's own beers as well as a good selection of guest beers as well as has beer festivals. Popular with young professionals and students (this is a student-heavy area as close to De Montfort University and it's associated student accommodation) as this area "The West End" is (currently) perceived as a trendy area! Popular with Real Ale devotees. Not open during day except Friday (from 2pm) and weekends (from 12pm) - 5pm opening is norm during week. Friendly, efficient, knowledgable staff. No beer garden but there is an (assembled and temporary) outside seating/smoking area at front of property on Braunstone Gate. No car park but on-street parking available in adjoining streets BUT it is VERY limited as Residents parking zones predominate in this area and you have to compete with users of the other facilities in the area.

Great beer selection and friendly atmosphere but they do not serve you if you don't have a seat at a table under current covid restrictions

J. H.

Small friendly atmospheric real ale pub with a range of decent beers to keep you going for a good few hours. If you're around for the last Tuesday of every month is recommend the quiz night..tough but great fun. A proper pub in a lot of ways

C. M.

Great beer, amazing staff, relaxed atmosphere. Best pub in Leicester

D. B.

J. C.

Lovely Real Ale, which is made on the premises, at a low price & served in a friendly atmosphere.

R.

Great place with fantastic beer.

D. H.

We use the West end brewery on a regular basis, the beer is great, I prefer the stout and my wife loves the choice of gins. The web is child friendly but not over run with small people, it's very dog friendly, snacks on the bar for our furry friends, the staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers, and I once saw Russ smile. Enjoy your visit!

D. M.

A great real ale pub! Great location. Always come here for a good value pint and a chill. Good vibes and even better ales and real ciders. Dogs are welcome which gives it even more of a proper pub feel. Big fan of this place

L. W.

My second favourite boozer in Leicester. Boozer is not fair really, it's more of a bar, and a very nice bar it is too. Great selection of ales, discrete vaping allowed away from the bar, plus my pooch is allowed in too. Very knowledgeable staff, they brew their own beers too. It's a shame I don't live in Leicester, but my wallet thanks me for that. Will be back!

N. C.

Excellent brew pub. Very clean. Friendly atmosphere. Food bought from the nearby selection of takeaways can be brought in and enjoyed along with the top quality beer. Dog friendly

K. W.

Excellent small bar with beer brewed on the premises.. Owner informed me that now it is card payment only. When i questioned it was told I don"t have to stay. Other than that attitude the bar is very good.

R. G.

Great pub, fabulous choice of house ales brewed on site. Very clean and hygienic and making sure the customer is safe during these testing times.

J. R.

Stepped out of a restaurant on Braunstone Gate and looked for somewhere for a drink and a chat. This place is the only place that understands that you don't need music blasting out to attract people and consequently it was the most busy. Good guest beers, good atmosphere.

M. S.

Friendly staff and good beers

j. l.

I wished this pub was at my home town. I'm here for 3 weeks and can't think of anything better to do with my evenings. Great people. Beer that is devine and no matter how much I drink. I get NO hangovers. Top marks to you and one favourite place to add to my travel list.

J. T.

Great pub/brewery that makes real and interesting beers, quaffable beers, discerning beers... And lets you order in pizza from the local good pizza place and sit there eating pizza, whilst drinking really good beer... Heaven? -1* for heaven not being real.

Went for the monthly quiz night on the last Tuesday of the month. It's small and cozy, a bit 'spit and sawdust' with friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the beers.
