The Two Brewers, Marlow

Good looking old building in a charming side street ,not far from the station and a stones throw from the banks of the Thames.There is a large courtyard as you enter,and a noticeably low ceiling around the bar,with lots of exposed timbers and much character.To the left is a dining area,all tables set and looking quite classy but not busy.Back from the bar,there is an oblong section below an external window with some long bench seating,around a small traditional fireplace and this is the place to sit and drink inside if you dont want to be vertical infront of the bar.As the evening wore on ,and the ale flowed we decided to eat in here and were able to do so without having to decamp to the restaurant,the food was decent but not exceptional with premium pricing not fully justified.Charming barmaid was a distict positive. At the bar there were 5 handpumps with London Pride,GK IPA and three from Rebellion namely IPA,Smugglers and a very good Blonde which on a sweaty evening proved a perfect pint and caused this to be a one stop pub crawl as we couldn't imagine finding anything better elsewhere in Marlow,a town not noted for top quality real ale. Maybe we just got lucky,but as long as they stock the more interesting brews from Rebellion ,I would be happy to pop in for a pint or four !

An aged building in a picturesque street and close to the waterfront (the street basically peters out and disappears beneath the waves), this place re-opened a while back after a catastrophic fire. Whilst the T-shaped interior has a bit of character (old black beams, wooden settles etc), it’s really more restaurant than pub in terms of operation. However there were five ales on; 3x Rebellion, GK IPA and London Pride – fairly unimaginative, really. Tried two in here, a flatlining (end of barrel, probably) Rebellion IPA and a fresh-on (and much nicer) Zebedee. It’s worth a look-in certainly but was less impressive than expected. 6.5

Reopened on the 8th October 2014 after a major rebuild.

Recently burned down so won't be open for a while...
