Pub SignMan left this review about Libertalia Taproom

Small brewery taproom located in another railway arch near Leytonstone Midland station. It’s similar in size to nearby Gravity Well but with less effective use of space, as the left-hand half of the unit is filled entirely with brewing kit. The bar is positioned at the back right and has a very short counter, metal bar back and a beer board above the taps. Indoor seating is limited to a couple of low-slung sofas and some wooden benches. The decor sticks to the typical industrial arch aesthetic—white corrugated metal panels, concrete floor, and a brewery logo on one wall. Outside, there’s space for a few more tables on the pedestrian alleyway. A punk soundtrack was playing away in the background, and the barman was very welcoming.
Six keg beers from their own range were on tap, from which I tried the Knuckledust London Porter (£5.60 a pint), which was well-kept and flavourful. There was a bit of a weird vibe here, with a few shady characters mixing in with families with young children and the occasional beer ticker type, but I was comfortable enough getting slowly swallowed by one of the aforementioned sofas.
I think the main draw of this place is that it makes a good double header with the Gravity Well taproom a short walk away. For me, it’s a scruffier, less accommodating version of their neighbour, with a smaller beer range and slightly higher prices. I still enjoyed my visit, but if I had to pick one to return to, this place would be getting bumped.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Libertalia Taproom

Archetypal railway arch micro-brewery and taproom, with a trestle table inside, another across the alleyway and one halfway in and out. Six of their own craft beers on the bar-back keg taps, including the 11th Hour pale ale (£5.60), and - unusually - the cask Private Eye on gravity (which I didn't spot in time). Pies and pastries can be brought in from a bakery in a nearby arch.
