Visited this pub several times. Nice cosy pub, placed a bit from the main street ( over Tower Bridge ), but still easy to reach, walking around city center of London. Friendly staff, beers in good condtion and with some variaty as well. They do food here as well, but I havent´n eaten here yet. Being in this end of London, this pub is for sure worth visiting.

Excellent place tucked away in the backstreets behind The Draft House - although the Dean Swift’s craft beer range is arguably superior to its more visible neighbour, making this an essential visit. A small-ish corner pub with an airy, traditional feel and football on the TV. Knowledgeable service directs you through the range of approx 10 taps and plenty of bottles, including Kernel. Went for food too - traditional fare and my beer battered haddock and doorwedge chips was huge and delicious. Overall it’s hard to fault it.

Stopped by for a few brews and some food. A nice smaller bar that got quite crowded as time went on. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed that they usually have a Kernel beer on tap as well as a number of casks and other taps. A nice number of Kernel bottles as well. Food was ok, but nothing special. Worth as top as it is right near Tower Bridge.

I like this pub and i’m always happy to pay it a visit. Decent beers always available especially Kernel on Tap. It has a nice feel to the place and they seem to try hard.

Great place! We were a large group and had hired the upstairs bar. Nice to be sheltered upstairs when the noise from the bar grew louder this friday evening. Tasty food and several interesting beers on tap such as Arbor Single Hop IPA Chinook, The Kernel IPA Citra Columbus, Magic Rock, Camden and more. But, why bother to brew the house beer in Belgium? Dean Swift Belgian Pilsner does not taste like a craft beer... (Visited November 16th 2012)

Located right by Tower Bridge but still has that "nice neighborhood Pub" feel to it. Inside is modern yet classic and cozy and comfortable all at the same time. The lighting was dim but not dark and the staff were friendly and attentive enough. The cask ales are in great shape, and I thought everything on offer was a good selection. I love how they support local beers, always having Kernel, Redemption, Camden and Sambrooks available. A solid selection of bottles from Belgium and the US as well. Another thing is the fact they don’t just have the usual crap lagers on tap BUT still serve a bunch of very drinkable, "non-beer geek" friendly craft lagers and golden ales. I only shared the calamari and the sharing plate but it all looks great and I want to go back for their Sunday roast. Prices are very reasonable considering the area. I really like this pub and should visit more often. Edit: Been there quite a few more times now and think the food is great. It’s pub food but high quality pub food and the service has been excellent each time, and the past couple times I have been with at least one baby. Seriously one of my favorite pubs in London right now!! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, Beer and food are great, No reason not to make this a stop.

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.
