Long Arm, Shoreditch, EC2

Modern pub, housed underneath the rear part of the Montcalm Hotel, featuring a staple-shaped bar, an opened-out room to one side and the shiny micro-brewery in the diagonally opposite corner, all under a high ceiling with industrial ventilation ducting. Seating mostly along tall benches (with power sockets and menus), although the place was mostly full of post-work vertical drinkers when I called in. Five different beers from the range available from the two banks of six craft keg taps, in a range of styles including two pale ales, an IPA and a lager, but I went for the dark Stoutford Bridge (£5.50, like the others, but they were doing two-pint steins for this price as an offer when I ordered, so that proved to be an unexpected bargain).
