The Dial, SE10

David Walton left this review about The Dial

Visited 19/11/25. Visited previously as GK Bar & Kitchen on 23/03/23.

No cask. Mainly their own offerings of the Cutty Haze IPA, the Dial lager, the Anytime IPA, the Midnight Stout, the Yakima Red and the Hop Harvest. Gues beers were Asahi and Cornish Orchards cider.

New taproom for Meantime on the outside space near the O2. Circular structure, the outside providing some booths and benches and tall tables that you would need your head examined to want to occupy today! Inside the bar counter is a tiled fronted affair with some tall stools on the extremities so not in front of the beer taps! Polished concrete floor. There is a DJ booth and a standing area on the left-hand side with a few tall tables to the left of the entrance and more to the right. Some plush leather booth tables on the outside curve to the right of the other entrance with some tall tables on the inside curved wall. A ledge at the back of this area before the brewing area is roped off, but with a ledge with tall stools just before if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the bar area. Plenty of screens obviously biased to sport, showing recorded silent cricket action on my visit and a poppy soundtrack providing the noise. Happy to visit at a time with no crowds gathering for an O2 event so it was pleasant and especially if you find Meantime beers OK at least!
