Perhaps the premium venue for beer in London. Extensive selection accross the board. The first place I tried Stone courtesy of Mike, one of the bosses. Fantasticly run venue. If you want Stone; proper ale, seasonal ale, rare stuff, German beer on tap, Cantillon, English ale, Trappist beres then come here. Of course there is an expense being in London and high rent prices. However definitely my favourite venue in London just for getting a beer. Awesome atmosphere. No music license just a lovely bar for drinking beer in. Great job by the owners. Shame not enough places have this kind of ambition.

Packed to the gills on a Thurs. Night. So much so that it was HOT as HELL and I could barely see the bar. Being with seven others didn’t make matters any easier. When I did finally manage to see a few of the bottles and taps my jaw dropped. Then just as I was leaving ran into MagicDave by pure accident. Ah, what bliss. Now I want to go back for more and more and more. THANKS to Tom!

From outside I wouldn’t have noticed it if harrisoni hadn’t been guiding me. Small and shiny inside. There was only me, Ian and another bloke, but it still seemed quite crowded. What is it like when it’s really full? Nice outdoor terrace. Huge range of bottled beers. Two decent casks, and we enjoyed American and German bottles.

What a find! Happened to catch up with some beer friends while visiting recently from NZ- this place is amazing with a huge selection of beers I could only dream of getting in New Zealand. Rich - you are doing a wonderful thing for beer!

Lovely bar - wish it was my local! They get a great selection of draft beers here and a wall full of chilled bottle beer sourced from sister company Utobeer round the corner. Glynn does a great job running this place and always has friendly efficient staff backing him up. Be warned this is a cosy place and it gets rammed on Fridays. Also don’t be surprised at £5 or £6 a pint if it’s something special on tap from the USA - the price reflects the cost of getting a barrel or two all the way from the USA! Without exception the quality of the beer is worth it! Always a good atmosphere here - highly recommended.

A small place with two real ales on tap. A very good selection of bottle beers. Some of them are very rare ones from Scandinavia for example (18.10.08).

Top and yet tiny beer at the back of borough market. This place has something for everyone, even if they don’t have the beer you might ask for, it’s more than likely they’ll be able to suggest something similar.

A great selection served by friendly and knowledgable staff. All the cool kids seem to hang out here on market day. Delicious and groovy.

Tiny but nice place and definitely not your typical English Pub. Located in Borough Market and a great combination with utoBeer and market Porter. Taps and casks (Brewdog was on Tap) a huge selection of Bottles (a good selection of the bootles that can be found in Utobeer)
