The Bermondsey Bierkeller, London Bridge, SE1

David Walton left this review about The Bermondsey Bierkeller

Visited 14/07/26. Visited previously 05/08/21.

No cask. Keg offering of the Paulaner Helles, the Hefe Weissbier and the Munich Dunkel, then two from Hacker Pschorr, the Munich Gold and the Anno 1417 then two brewed for them, the Bravo a pilsner and the Bless a pale ale. There is a selection of beers by the bottle also including some ciders.

Original concrete flooring within a tunnel under the railway line with an arched front and several offshoots along the walk from entrance to rear (where the restrooms are naturally located). From rear offshoot is an area with a pool table and shuffleboard and opposite on the wall are a couple of leather booths serving barrel tables. Next is the main bar on the right-hand wall with the longest offshoot opposite with typical bier hall benches down both sides with a stage on the rear of the space. Next is another bar on the right-hand wall not in operation on my visit with an offshoot on the left-hand wall housing another shuffleboard and a short skittle alley with a drinking ledge on its left-hand wall with some tall stools to perch drinks on whilst playing the games. Next on the right-hand side is an axe throwing offshoot and opposite it an offshoot housing a table air hockey game, another shuffleboard and a pool table with the only seating being a drinking ledge with tall stools in the middle of the floor space. Right back by the entrance on the right-hand side is an offshoot housing e-dart games and opposite an offshoot with arcade games and a bar at the end of that side but closed on my visit, the offshoot described as the Games Zone. The venue was doing well on my mid evening visit, certainly cool albeit away from the sunshine outside to which many were flocking this evening. Probably a bit too much going on games and activities wise for me and an un-exciting German bier hall beer range – very middle of the autobahn.
