We had lunch here. Is conveniently close to tower bridge. Great hamburger, good chicken and couscous, but the portions were a bit small. Though for that price, you can’t be too picky. (£7) Some interesting stuff on cask and tap. Reasonable beer prices, especially for the location. Friendly and knowlegdeable staff. I’ve put it on my "visit again" list.

Good selection of beers on cask and keg, and bottles. Place was very clean and tidy, and really good srvice from the staff, will go again.

Really friendly pub off the main area around Tower Bridge. The staff were really happy and welcoming. There is a small range of well kept beers to try. A really pleasant pub to visit.

Nice pub in a residential area just south of Tower Bridge, not far from The Draft House or Kernel Brewery. Four cask ales, I had two well kept beers from Dark Star and Brodies, and a decent selection of keg beers. Small, but interesting selection of bottled beers. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was laid back and friendly. Very nice pub food. Possibly not a must, but worth a detour if you’re not too far away. If you’re visiting the Kernel Brewery on a Saturday afternoon, this pub is not far away.

Classic pub with a great selection, and excellent, knowledgable staff. Excellent food, classic pub fare with ambition.

Traditional english pub with a good beer selection. Near London Bridge :-)

Judging by the other scores and what I thought of this place, I wouldn’t come on Friday evening! Nice enough decor. Food seemed very pricey but looked nice. Very much a gastro pub. Service was good, and decent selection of bottles but quite a few of the taps were off though (3 out of 7 keg, 1 out of 4 cask, I think) which was a shame. Was hoping to get some Kernel on tap, but nothing this time. Clientele were a bit irritating, but that is my own personal prejudice I guess. Think I should come back another time to re-evaluate.

Nice gastro-pub. Neat interior. Good beer choice (one of the few to sell the Kernel Brewery beers). Awesome food, free wifi (no password needed) and friendly staff. Quiz on sunday night is pretty entertaining.

The Dean Swift is a nice little street corner local tucked away in an area of old warehouses being renovated for inner city living behind Tower Bridge. It’s been knocked through so that it feels quite spacious and it just about accommodated 20 or 30 people for the 2011 RBESG grand tasting in a space by the window. There was a good range of beers on tap too – mainly IPAs, which pleased me immensely! The food included burgers, crab cakes, sea bass, mussels and the like with the chunkiest chips I’ve ever seen. It’s a bit pricey but the burger I had was delicious and the service was commendable. (Visited 7 August 2011).

A classy beer establishment. Very stylish, tons of natural light, for what it’s worth. Highly capable, accomodating staff. Small selection of cask ales along with a small but quality array of kegs and bottles. Decent prices. Nice food menu. Definitely worth a stop.
