Reviews of The Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell

R. D.

Dropped in to this charming space (look up) midday on a Wednesday on the recommendation of a well-known beer app. Excellent service and conversation given the time of day and week. 32 taps (16 cask) of craft beer from the UK and overseas offer a wide variety of style and brewers. Some snack options and an option to order food are available. (Don't sleep on the adjacent leather lane food truck market).

P. L. R.

Like mirrors? You will love it here. There's the huge amount of choice you would expect in a Craft Beer Co pub too.

m. p.

Great place, great beer selection, not overcrowded on a Friday evening.. what more can you ask for 😁

B. L.

Great selection of craft ales - some lovely stouts. Friendly informative bar staff offer tasters before you buy - I enjoyed a good night.

K. Y.

What a great pub. Superb selection of beers and well informed friendly staff

G. J.

Suffering from the fall out of Covid-19 but still open and trying. From a line up of pumps only two, at time of visit, had ales. This place is a must visit as a step back in time and the architectural gem that it is. Get back in and let's see this place restore to its deserved glory.

D. M.

A fantastic beer selection to be had in this rather fun bar. The ceiling has mirrors and makes for some interesting people watching whilst sipping away at one of the vast selection of craft beers available on tap, can or bottle.

J. S.

The Rhubarb (Rhubarb Rhubarb) beer is jolly nice indeed. Mirrored ceiling a nice touch, wouldn't fancy it falling on me though. Good tunes. Nice raised tables. Nice spot outside to drink and chat. Nice nice nice.

B. M.

Home to great English IPA beer! I totally love it... It was recommended to me by a friend and I can gladly recommend it to you as well.

s. z.

Great pub. Lots of interesting beers and ciders. Very friendly service. Scotch eggs were cold so disappointed but overall it was a great pub so highly recommended.

C. L.

Probably the best "chain" of pubs at the moment for the proper beer drinker, this one is the one to visit if you want a quiet pint on a Saturday lunchtime. Excellent range of micro cask ales and plenty of pricey wierd fizz to keep the hipsters happy. Tucked away but well worth hunting out.

R. H.

An old fashioned street-corner boozer with a modern beer menu. Very good beer selection on both cask and draft. The can/bottle list was a bit out of date so some beers weren't available, however the bar staff were all over it to suggest alternatives which shows how on the ball they are. I've always liked Craft Beer Co. and this branch is one of the better ones I've been to recently.

M. S.

Fantastic craft beer bar. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Beer quality is excellent. So much choice too, recommended.

K. P.

Good selection of beers however one was £27.00 a pint 😜

e. 1.

I was here for the first time and was indecisive what to get from this awesome menu. The service offered to help and let me taste a few beers before I had my mind set. There really is a huge list of craft beers. You won't be disappointed if you have the chance to come here.

D. E.

Good range of beers and not a lager from the big brewers in sight.

P. N.

Bloody great place. Friendly staff, who helped to tell us more about the beers. Hugeeee range of beers/ciders/other drinks. Great pizzas from Terroni who also cater for those that are GF. Vibez were forthcoming.

J. P.

Lucky for me one of my locals. Very pleased to visit again to support the recovery process . A very friendly welcome in a very chilled out bar. The beer as always was perfect and plenty to tempt me. Looking forward to the return of the Chilli Stout

T. D.

Brilliant choice of beers and plenty of seating

t. h.

Great pub. Excellent service. Had a beer that tasted off and changed straight away with an apology. Would definitely recommend.

J. E.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff (which makes a refreshing change for London!), a cracking selection of drinks, and a pleasant setting in a beautiful building. Win.

A. S.

Fantastic Pub, we hired out the space for a work function and the staff treated us great. Highly recommended!

H.

Loads of choice! I tried the rhubarb cider. Great little place if youblike craft beer and want to try something new. Maybe just needs sprucing up a bit.

D. M.

Great selection of beers. Comfy seats and booths. They are super friendly behind the bar and you can usually have a taste of a beer before you decide. Wine selection and G&Ts also good if you're not a beer drinker. But the craft selection is why you should go.

D. D.

Just like the other Craft Beer Co. Pubs around London. It has exactly what you need, a good selection of varied beers that change regularly, plenty of tables and music that the bar staff change depending on the vibe. My only issue is that it is so similar to the other ones! So if you want an independent pub with character then this pub isn't for you. If you want a tasty beer in a friendly environment then it is.

S. D.

Nice bar. Great location. Good selection of beers. What I liked most of all was that you could pop next door for your dinner (sington) and bring it back in and eat in the pub. Was a nice wee night out, beers, popped next door for amazing Thai chicken burger and fancy chips, brought them back and continued having nice beer. Class!

J. R.

If you follow my reviews, you know I'm a huge fan of this franchise. This one is really charming, and looks like a pub you'd expect to find in London. Staff are well trained and the service is so quick for a busy pub. Again, huge selection of beers and you can buy the bottle or can to take away.

T. S.

A small pub selling a wide selection of craft beers. We visited this Craft Beer Co. pub on a Monday afternoon at about 14:00. It was pretty empty, perhaps half a dozen other customers and two bar staff serving. Even though 7 taps were off there was an excellent selection of beers to chose from on the remaining 29 (if I recall correctly) taps, 3 of which had cider. My one niggle was the fact that the beer menu did not include brief descriptions of the beers as I have found at the 2 other Craft Beer Co pubs I have visited. This wasn't really a problem since the staff are happy to pour a small glass for tasting as well as suggest beers if you let them know what sort of beer you want.

S. A. t. M.

I just had a truly awesome 7% IPA from Anarchy Brewing called Meltdown Expected. The staff were lovely and even let my disabled Mum use the downstairs Gents in order to avoid stairs to the Ladies. All good and very helpful.

L. F. (. p.

It needs to be appreciated that this is a place to experience the very finest in craft ales. They are pricey, but you are paying for a huge selection of top quality beers, often an alcohol content 2-3x that of a session beer & first class, informed bar staff. On my most recent visit we were guinea pigs for their planned winter cheese & cold meat platter. It was excellent & complements the premium ales.

P. L.

Great pub with a good range of ales & craft beers and friendly & knowledgeable staff. Could do with better lighting though! I dislike this dim light trend in pubs, you can hardly read the pump clips let alone see if the people you're meeting are already there or not.

T. F.

The reason ive said this pub does food is because they let you take in the food from the vast choice along leather lane . Great beer

K. P. (.

Came here after work recently and absolutely loved it! Excellent selection of craft beers from around the world and the staff know their stuff. (They're also happy to recommend competitors who will have the beer you want on tap, which makes me want to come back here all the more!) And check out upstairs! It was surprisingly quiet with plenty of places to sit on a Friday night. (But the bar is downstairs...) I totally recommend this place if you've got a craft/real ale fan you want to impress.

b. b.

Well run bar with lots of good choices, around 25 taps, that are well chosen. I visited late on a Tuesday, and the place was loud and sticky and felt like a wrap up of a corporate group event. The bartender was apologetic of the mess. It is a narrow modern bar with seating along the edges of the room. Beautiful mirrored ceiling and chandelier added a classic touch. It was not my favorite of the Craft Beer emporiums around town that went to Covent Garden, but a great place to visit for people looking for a great Craft beer experience.

B. F.

Excellent selection of beer and cider. Great place to grab a drink after eating at the Leather Lane Market.

D. G.

Visited recently, a nice pub setup in a place with history (The pub used to be a clock house and still has elements of its history in the pub itself if you look up at the ceiling). Lively instead of noisy, the inside had a good atmosphere. There were at least 6 ales on tap, with more available in the fridges behind the bar. They also serve about the same number of craft largers. The ales I had were fresh / clean tasting and the lines appear to be kept well as no issues with taste. The staff were friendly and professional and knew about their ales on asking. Overall recommended and the variety of the ales on the pumps means repeat visits to experience the full range are likely

K. M.

Great selection of beers and ciders (as you'd expect) friendly staff and not to busy if you can hold on till the afterwork crowd disperse. Women's loos are upstairs (along with more seating). The pub are happy enough for you to bring in your own food

T. H.

Cool little pub serving... Well you guessed it craft beer! As well as craft cider and the usual range of soft drinks and spirits. Only issue is it's pretty cramped - even with ~20 people in there it felt full... I'll go back but maybe in summer when standing outside isn't quite so chilly.

B. h.

What can I say, if you want to try some craft beers, then you want somewhere where the staff don't look at you blankly, when you ask what a juice Springsteen is like. This is the place to try something new, the staff have a clue, and are quite helpful. You can order food to be delivered here, which is the coolest way to eat in a pub in my opinion.

D. F.

Amazing cask conditioning skills, never an off flavour in the beers! Knowledgeable staff, huge beer selection, local beers and guest tap takeovers. Old boozer atmosphere, with a few (cold) pub snacks to enjoy. Great venue!

J. P.

I really like this place. There are a few of these dotted around town and the selection of beers is huge. Nice bar staff happy to let us have a little taster before ordering something. Good atmosphere too and quiet enough to be able to hear each speaking.

J. L.

Extremely good selection of beer and ales. The hardest part is deciding what you want to drink. Not the most atmospheric pub around but with a visit. A big plus is that you can bring your own food at lunch and eat it in the pub.

S. S.

Pepper gin and elderflower tonic every time. Delish

L. D.

Good range of interesting craft beers at daft prices. And no stools at the bar, so there. Apparently this place gets really busy at times, but when it's quiet in the afternoon? I don't expect to be this uncomfortable in an empty pub. If you want to try some interesting beers, this could be your place. If you want a pub, no. Someone in da management has fixed, bossy and irritating views. If you do go, a tip. The ragingly expensive craft beers from round the world are on the left. The normal beers are on the right. I assume the helpful young lady behind the bar thought I wanted a ragingly expensive craft beer because it was where I was standing... I got to taste several before we picked one I like. Made the seven quid a pint fair enough, if you can afford seven quid.

L. S.

Incredibly large selection of beers (check out one of the official photos with all the beers on tap). There are mirrors on the ceiling and on the wall so it feels bright and spacious on a sunny day. It's a shame they don't offer food apart from Scotch egg and crisps, otherwise I imagine it would be a lot busier than they are currently. I'm not a Scotch egg fan normally but I was impressed by theirs! And if they spend a bit of money doing up their sofas and chairs it would feel a lot more premium and they could justify charging more (but then of course we don't want to pay more)!

L. J.

This place is fantastic. Huge bar stacked with pumps, enormous menu of great beers from around the world. Prices can be a little high, but its central London and a lot of the beers are 6%-10% and/or have travelled a long way to get there. Big upstairs area with tables, you can call to book or use the form on the website. Really nice place, sophisticated but keeps it real too.

K.

Decent selection of craft beer on tap and cans in the fridge and more than average number of casks. Interior of a good looking traditional pub. Moody and indifferent staff.

L. B.

A traditional London pub...revived by sheer volume of real ales / craft beer available and an adventurous bottled selection. Can get busy with office workers early evenings. Lunchtimevis a much quieter vibe. Rightly has leaning towards vast range of London brewers.

C. B.

How much choice do you want when trying to decide on a beer? All of the choices? Me too. That's why I go here. It gets mega busy in the summer sometimes, but you can stand outside. In the winter, it's more challenging, shoulder to shoulder, but worth it for the ridiculous choose of beer.

J. W.

Superb if compact pub in wonderful, unspoilt listed building. Ecellent beer choice and quality, both on tap and in bottle. Friendly, helpful staff as well. Hope to visit again very soon and try some of the brilliant looking bar snacks!

C. T.

Indoor and outdoor space, a great selection of beer, amazing pork scratchings/ scotched eggs and pie. I love their food! Upstairs has additional seating that is really nice and more private. Great staff as well.

C. T.

Both old age and new and sexy at the same time. The downstairs is more beautiful than the up, because of the long bar with a multitude of craft beer labels, the mirrored ceiling and hanging chandelier. It was a little empty when we visited on a late Sunday afternoon, but was charming. We sampled a couple of pale ales and went through a short quiz on our tastes with the barman, and had a tasty drink each. Recommended spot.

g. l. a.

Lots of differents beers to choose! Good music

B. T.

Drink: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Decor & atmosphere: 6/10 Service speed: 7/10 Cost: 7/10 The best: The best selection of beers The worst: Not much space and the smell of the bathroom Lowdown: I love the selection of beers that have and how you can have tasters before you buy. The only downside to this place is that space downstairs is limited sp you have tp get in quick after work!

J. M.

full on Friday evenings, good moods

D. B.

Great little pub lacking the in your face ponciness (and suits) of many London craft beer outfits and feeling like a proper boozer. Pricey but happily spent an hour here alone despite it being packed. Friendly, attentive, bearded barmen.

R. P.

beautiful pub, amazing beer selection!

M. T.

Great selection of beers however when I visited a few of the drinks that were on offer had already run out. This was during opening week so there's a chance that they were slightly busier than normal. They have a small terrace available on the street to allow some al freshco drinking and when the sun goes down you can retire to the basement where there is plenty of seating area available. There's a wide range of drinks covering all tastes and budgets and the serving sizes make it perfect for sampling a number of different beers. It's well worth a visit

A. S.

Great selection of beers, almost overwhelmingly good. I appreciated the staff warning me about the particularly strong or expensive options too. Would recommend.

A. W.

Great selection of ales and craft beers, but a bit pricy. The sharing platter of bar snacks works out more expensive than buying the items separately in most cases. How do they get away with that?

D. G.

Well what can I say just on the street off diamonds hatton garden. Beer from many breweries. Craft beer available . Food mainly snacks? Recommend if in area. Bar staff knowledgeable. Expensive but worth a visit. Diamonds are for ever ha ha.

S. A.

Room upstairs is a available for small meetings, bar lady serving today at lunch had great customer services skills, made you feel welcome. Had a good catch up with familiar faces and the on to my next meeting of the day, thanks.

P. L.

Great bar with wide selection of quality beers. Staff I spoke to was knowledgeable and helpful. Can get busy but staff seems to handle it well, seating not always available.

B. C.

One of my new favorite places in London - this place has an enormous selection of beers. Charming and witty bartenders who make you feel very welcome. Not much for food unfortunately but that's not why you come here.

D. D.

So much beer. The upstairs always seems to have a seat which is awesome. The beers are plentiful and varied. Really great pub. The staff also are really nice (and fast).

S. R.

The place is always full of locals. The ambiance is very cool and relaxing, service is great, and the staffs are all friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable to all the beers that they offered, and they can also give you a few samples of all the beers for you to taste and choose the beers that you want. It is definitely a cool and perfect spot, and certainly worth stopping. You should definitely go back!

S. T.

Great, pub with great beers, a great addition to an already marvellous chain of pubs. If you want a party then definitely book the upstairs space, it is really love, just the right size. The staff are amazing too!

p. t.

If your a fan of craft beer in a relaxed atmosphere then this gem of a pub is for you. One of the largest selection of beers on tap I've seen. This pub is a pub that does not judge how you look but wanted you to enjoy good craft beer.

N. S.

Fantastic selection of beers, ales etc, perhaps a little pricey but the choice makes up for that! The actual bar as a place is nice and the staff are friendly. Well located too.

M. T.

I really like this pub. As you might expect, it has an extensive selection of ales and lagers. Good service too - I accidentally ordered the wrong kind of Weissbier which was too sour for my taste and the bar staff happily gave me a new pint without quibble. In an extremely competitive pub scene, it's this sort of thing that keeps me coming back to places like this.

E. B.

I really like it at the Craft Beer co.- they offer an incredible range of lagers, ales and ciders- there is truly something for everyone. I enjoy visiting Craft to experiment in new drinks and particularly like the local brews. The only negative, as with most London pubs, is the lack of space! Be prepared to stand outdoors..

S. W.

For mine largely on par with the Covenant Gardens venue. Less taps (37 vs 50) but the same impressive devotion to local producers and cask. I visited Monday afternoon so very quite but it did make for a much more comfortable watering hole. Deservedly has a place in the top rung of London Pubs.

s. w.

If you love your beer/cider then get here, a fantastic pub with one of the best (and largest) selections on offer in the local area. You can't go wrong with one of their delicious pork pies or scotch eggs either.

J. G.

More of the same mediocrity from CBC, decent beer list but nothing special. Food limited to premade scotch eggs, which were terrible. When I'm ordering an American beer I've had before, you have a problem.

p. m.

A huge number of interesting beers, not outrageously priced, and very conveniently situated for me! There's also space upstairs to sit down, if you fancy more than a quick drink!

M. D.

Always has a good beer selection

D. S.

Huge selection of beers. Maybe too many. Takes half the evening to find something you like...Good bar food, pies, scotch eggs etc. Pub itself is nice victorian building. No real outside space though...

s. b.

The draft setup looks great, nice to see them trying a different aesthetic than the traditional brass/stainless effect. The beer selection is extensive so it's a must visit if you want to try new and exciting beers

B. A.

My favourite member of the Craft Beer chain - it is always a bit busy but the bar is fast and there is plenty of space upstairs. The bar snacks are dependable and the surrounding area has a good range of other food options

A. S.

On a wintry Saturday afternoon, The Craft Beer Co was suitably packed with ale-loving types (luckily, we had the private room upstairs booked for a function). Unlike many Clerkenwell pubs, this one isn't centuries old but looks relatively modern. But if you're heading to this pub, it's for their carefully selected drinks selection not the wallpaper. I stuck to the Sipsmith vodka, but my beer and cider-drinking friends seemed happy with their selections (though a bit surprised at how little change they got from a fiver for their pints). The food selection is limited to pork pies, scotch eggs and posh crisps, so keep that in mind if you're heading here after work.

B. H.

This is a great pub for those who are serious about beer. They have an amazing selection of drinks, and a massive range of beers on tap. I really recommend losing an afternoon in here.

T. M.

Another great pub opened by the same people behind Cask in pimlico. This pub offers a fantastic range of ales and keg beer, along with a bottle selection to match. It is quite expensive, but you do get a fantastic range. This is not a Greene King pub anymore (as the google tags suggest). There's no food apart from a few reasonable bar snacks, but you are surrounded by lots of places you can get food to eat.

C. C.

Best selection of beers around: at least 20 different beers on tap + even greater choice of bottled beer. And the beer menu changes every week! Downsides: a bit expensive and no hot food (but decent scotch eggs and pies).

I. C.

An amazing choice of craft beers to choose from. The staff are very friendly and only too happy to tell you about the beers. A lovely old pub too.

B. B.

Not the cosiest of London pubs, but you will like watching the buzzy Market outside. Cask ale lovers, get over it, as this place has cask, but will concentrate on craft. Not cheap, of course. The ones I had were excellent, the knowledgeable, friendly staff will help you choose.

S. P.

Great range of beer. Knowledgeable bar staff. Food is a bit weak (£5 for half a pie, £4 for a scotch egg). The nuts and the olives are alright.

T. W.

Good beer with a great selection, biggest issues I find with with this places is it's always too busy....worth booking a table if you're going after work packed full 5-8 week days

D. L. M.

Quite beer house with one of the largest selection of craft beers you can find in London. The selection changes constantly so it's worth coming back from time to time to see what's new. It seems quite small downstairs but there's another floor with more tables upstairs. It's quite busy during the week as people from nearby offices stop by but relatively quite during the weekend.

P. T.

If you want a huge selection of beers from around the world then this is pretty much one of the best pubs in London. The selection is constantly changing, staff are knowledgeable and prices are pretty standard fare for Central London.

B.

Nice version of this chain craft beer pub, anywhere that stocks Cantillon is good with me!

n. p.

Amazing beers all over the place here. If you are bored of the usual draft suspects then get here. Bar food is delicious, I had the chorizo option of the traditional pork pie - arrives on a mini chopping board with English mustard.

M. D.

A truly great pub in so many ways but I always feel that I have to flag the staff for their eternal brilliance. So many pubs could learn about customer service from the pub. The beer is always exemplary too.

C. F.

Excellent place for a Friday lunchtime pint and pie.

N. B.

May be the best Craft beer Co bar. Better bottle selection than most others. Had bottle of BA bible belt for a reasonable £12.50. They also had some cantillon about for non-crazy prices. Weird, as I was in the Covent Garden one the day before and some of their bottle prices were heinous.

L. C.

Fantastic craft beer selection, great atmosphere and friendly attentive staff, plus you can grab a posh burger from across the road and bring it in. What more could you want from a pub?

T. B.

One of the greatest if not the best craft beer pub in London. A lot of british but also some great beer from the states. The bartender was helpful and spoke in norwegian to me. Really nice open space. Really cosy but not to crowdy.

A. M.

Good selection of beer. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. If you go on a Friday evening be prepared for it to be rammed though, as it is quite popular.

R. M.

Wonderful pub with excellent quality and huge range of craft beers, ciders and lagers. Well-informed and passionate staff make visiting here a joy. Best pub in the area if you like real ale.

J. C.

The extra 20 minute walk to the Covent garden venue is worth it. This place is a little dingy and always has fruit flies buzzing around. The selection and quality of beer and the service is good though. Order from the bar and head outside.

W. y. C.

Amazing craft beers, friendly staff. Right on leather lane so during a weeekday lunch time, there will be plenty of food stalls too.

P. L.

I love this pub and travel past hundreds of others (honestly) to get here. The beer's not cheap but there's always something worth drinking.

A. C.

Quality selection of brews. Friendly staff. Relaxed and chilled. Haven't tried the snacks, excellent option to order a burger from the place across the street

A. W.

Great selection of beer, lovely bar staff, can be a bit pricey though.

A. &. S. D.

Huge number of pumps... But only two in use. What gives?

C. W.

One of visit. Great selection of cask and keg beers from quality breweries. Easy food/snacks and good background music (indie). Well worth a visit.

A. C.

No idea if they have food but the beer is awesome. Huge selection of great beer. The staff were cool and really helpful. Great spot for the beer nerd in London.

F. E.

Excellent selection of craft beers so worth a visit if you're a connoisseur of fine beers but quite expensive and you'd be have to be very lucky or early to get a seat here.

R. H.

Wide selection of craft beer on draught, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Only thing is that it doesnt have outdoor seating, so you'll have to have your bev standing.

A. M.

You can bring your own food and the beer is great. I would say, it gets pretty busy on a Thursday or Friday evening after work and it is definitely worth booking a table!

C. C.

Two real ale try and good to experience beer.

M. a. D.

Good selection of beers. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Nice place to hang around. Prices are correct for drinks. Never tried the food.

J. F.

Great beer selection, but compare to other pubs of this chain, this one looks bit dated and dirty.

P. L.

Great place for craft beer fans.

S. R.

A wide, varied, changing range of interesting ales especially IPAs. Outside is the bustling Leather Lane market (weekdays at least) with a fab selection of street food. Pilau Pot tandoori wraps recommended - the silver truck at end of street.

J. S.

The perfect range of beer, something for everyone and everything occasion. All served by some of the best and most knowledgeable bar staff you could meet! Thanks

E. B.

About 30 beers on tap and a lot more in the fridge. Worth a visit for the beer enthusiast. Especially appreciate that there's imperial stouts, barleywines, trappists, and other tasty stuff beyond the lager.

L. H.

Great pub with friendly staff and they always have a wide and varied beer selection on, which changes all the time. Good for the proper beer lovers.

R. F.

Fantastic selection of craft beer for all tastes. The long bar, mirrors and all the character of the pub that used to be there add to the atmosphere although they could use some less hipsters ;)

K. R.

Great beer, really knowledgeable and friendly staff. You can bring in food from the amazing street food market outside.

E. M.

Nice staff behind the bar, despite being very busy on a Thursday night! Great atmosphere and even a little beer garden on the street to get out of the hot crowded bar.

g. b.

Great selection of beers and other drinks as well as snacks. Knowledgeable friendly staff and comfortable seating. What's not to like?

D. A.

The beer fridges here are filled with stuff you didn't even know you wanted! The building still feels like an old fashioned pub, upstairs is cool, but it gets full!!! Ideal.

A. S.

My local. Gluten free pilsner on draught. 👏 Lovely staff.😁 Only negative is it's not open at the weekend. 😳

K. J.

Good beer selection and staff is very helpful. Pro tip: They have an upstairs seating area which is usually empty.

D. W.

Well kept ale and great craft beers in a handsome pub. Beautiful mirrored ceiling. Avoid Friday evenings - the pub gets uncomfortably busy.

O. G.

An immense selection of beers are the focus. The staff are friendly and helpful if become overwhelmed with the choice. Expect to fight for a place as it's a popular spot.

d. j.

Great service, huge range of good quality beers, could of done with a few more alternatives to pale ale on my visit

C. B.

Great selection of beers and cider. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the local area.

M. S. W.

A fantastic pub with the widest selection of craft beers I have ever seen. Always great to visit and try something new

S. P.

Great selection of craft ales and an added plus that you can consume your food from the glorious leather lane market if you purchase your drinks here!

R. R.

A large range of beer from around the world to choose from and friendly staff. Great place to enjoy beer not easily available elsewhere.

J. C. M.

Amazing selection of beers and great advices of the different products. I can't wait to visit London again and drop by to taste those fine ales!

R. F.

Great selection of beers, lots of space upstairs, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and bonus points for allowing patrons to bring Singtong's excellent burgers in from across the road.

A. D.

Great selection of beers and ales. Bartenders are knowledge of what's on tap. Excellent atmosphere. Will go back again.

M. M.

Great little bar with outstanding food. On the trendy side but approachable and relaxed atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and engaging.

B. S.

Fantastic craft beer pub. Sells cask real ale and kegged beers and ciders. Extensive range of bottles too. Highly recommended.

M. B. (.

Lovely selection of craft beer. All nice and fresh. Good spacious seating areas upstairs and downstairs.

G. B.

Great selection of craft beers on rotation. Very pricey though and the beers are generally all very high strength, not many options below 4%

S. M.

The staff here are always friendly and helpful, and will offer a sample and a chat about what's on tapwhich is always changing. When a lot of places near here are closed on weekends, it's usually busy but not full if you pass by on a weekend afternoon.

s. j.

Great variety of beer on tap but this come with prices quite a lot above the London average.

M. M.

Great beers, friendly staff. Lots of different drinks to choose from. I will definitely be back.

B. C.

Amazing selection of beers as you'd expect, lots of seating and not too busy on a Saturday night given its location in the very weekday focused Clarkenwell.

A.

Good atmosphere and the guys behind the counter sing all together while they give you your beer😊 it's awesome. There's also space to drink outside!

D. H.

A bit loud. Beer = good. I'm confused by the clientèle, there's a hipster dude on his laptop "writing" but I don't know how he can concentrate with the noise. Perhaps it's his play for picking up hipster chicks...
