Moby Duck left this review about All Good Beer

A compact bar but enough room inside for five small tables with the addition of some drinking shelves around the peripheries serviced with mid-height bar stools. An interesting eclectic Jazz/Soul/Funk music selection was being played albeit a little loud as I was the only customer in at the time.
There are eight taps behind the bar with a good selection of craft beer and I quite enjoyed my relaxing twenty minutes or so here with two thirds of Deya Think For Yourself 1. I assume it gets busier toward the evenings.

This is the second outlet for All Good Beer following on from their place in Hackney Downs. This one is a conversion from a former wine bar called Weino BIB, which itself was a shop conversion from a Polish deli called Polsmak which took over another Eastern European deli, which took over another grocery shop before that. It’s been a shop on this site for well over a 100 years, so yes it is a shop conversion.
And basically, it still largely feels like one in the shape of a bottle shop, although there is internal seating around an eight tap wall dispensing modern keg offerings, which included a decent Kernel stout offering, it really wasn’t that much of a bar experience for me.

Not a shop conversion, at least not the right-hand half, which was a pub called the Anchor – the name still visible to the parapet – which dates from the mid-19th century, but closed around the time of the Great War, to reopen as a bar roughly 100 years later, reviewed by Quick Pint.
Sat in the right-hand side of the room for want of trying to claw back some ambience of old, in a place without any hint of original pubbery, there’s much natural plywood, a floor of either pale pine or black, mismatched modern furniture, bulkhead lamps, masses of pot plants and a substantial chiller to the right-hand side, where there’s a beer wall with eight taps, discharge and further information to a board above. Customers were young trendy Dalston types, making for a good atmosphere at the time of my 9.25pm visit last night.
A house of keggery – otherwise it would surely qualify as a micro – I plumped for a half of something called Windsor Hazy Pale (£3.95). Was it freezing cold and did it taste of grapefruit? Of course, though once it warmed up a bit, I warmed to it, unsure though what effect the grapefruit would have on my statins. Still, the barmaid was very friendly but in no way dressed as below.
Catering for the area’s well-heeled kegocracy, this isn’t a bad place for what it is, but I’d prefer the Railway Tavern over the road or the Prince George a short walk east.
