All the below still holds true. Feels like quite a small BrewDog venue compared to some others these days. The board over the bar listing all the beer choices does feel a bit overwhelming but it is nicely laid out by style and here does seem to be, r... [more>] | |

As noted below Youngs pub on Shepherd’s Bush Green. Had Original and Special on offer plus a significant array of keg offerings. the Original was decent and quite impressed my friend that had never sampled previously. It was pretty busy on arrival a... [more>] | |

This place was the glitziest of the venues visited today in this area. It is a nice space and was pleasant to occupy for 30 mins or so pre dinner. It is sprawling and so at least during our visit here at 6pm even though it was the busiest venue of th... [more>] | |

Sam’s pub in a modem (late 80s?) building overlooking the water. Fairly bland oblong box inside, designed for maximising bums-on-seats. Upstairs is a terrace bar which wasn’t open on our early Saturday afternoon visit but looks to be the main selling... [more>] | |

Side street bottle shop with a small and uninspiring seating area for on-trade consumption – you’d struggle to fit double figures in. Four keg offerings (WhatPub says real ale – there wasn’t), I plumped for a Cloudwater Midwinter. Always a bit hard t... [more>] | |

17 years since my last visit and as I’d heard that John the landlord was still in situ I thought I’d pop back given I was (sort of) on the train line. Not much change inside and it’s as I remember (and as the reviewers below describe), a traditional ... [more>] | |

This one has had the same owners since 1986 which seemed more than enough reason to pop in, along with the Good Beer Guide’s recommendation and the * CAMRA heritage rating. Five cask on, a relatively conservative set of choices with Heritage Vienna P... [more>] | |

Much like the reviewer below, this one has been on my ‘to-do’ list for many years and let’s say I wasn’t disappointed when I finally arrived. It’s a fairly large place though is partially divided and doesn’t feel too big. The comfy carpeted interior ... [more>] | |

Sparse whitewashed bottleshop/bar with minimal seating and a six tap craftykeg offering. The reason for visiting was first and foremost to find a particular beer that was listed on their Untappd menu, only to be told breezily by the be-hatted stereot... [more>] | |

A bit of a celebration pub as its turned-out to be the final one that needed to be bagged in order for me and my pal to fully complete the entire London-based set of Samual Smiths outlets, having been foiled a couple of years earlier by it being clos... [more>] | |

COVID. Certainly not the top quality I remembered, with staff hiding in the rear room rather than being visible behind the bar. My BCA Pig was fine, if not fully box fresh (NBSS 3). Went for a cob and ended-up with an anaemic roll. Still has a reputa... [more>] | |

Still smells fairly heavily of damp; maybe to be expected but even so, not ideal. Bar billiards table remains and still semi-unplayable (though it is at least free, so fair enough). Six cask on over seven pumps, my Hobsons Champion was in good nick (... [more>] | |

Tidy Nicholsons, maybe a bit heavy on the dark colours. Busy, with extra noisy modern music driving the shouting even louder in a MAD style death spiral making the place echoey and a bit impersonal. About a third of the advertised cask was off; my Br... [more>] | |

Upmarket Thornbridge pub, a modern conversion from a former bank premises and on the CAMRA OCR list. Really rather lovely inside and clearly a modern refit but with a traditional layout and feel (polished oak effect wood panelling and trim, leather, ... [more>] | |

In the very pretty Great Western Arcade with a very pretty façade to match. Modern inside (boo) but a fairly tidy conversion with a nice sunlight iron ceiling and exposed brick. Posh sarnies in the fridge for 4-5 sheets. Six pumps with four Craddocks... [more>] |
