    Great pub at the beginning of Columbia Road - fantastic spot for people watching on a Sunday when the flower market is open and the sun is shining 😉

    Excellent pub in Draft House chain. Great selection of real ales and craft keg beers.

    In the 1990s the Birdcage had a pool table and was gleefully rough as a badger's arse. That era's fully refitted out now along with the original bar, so it's properly "authentic" 😏

    Went here for brunch which was excellent. A great elderflower cocktail and a good vegetarian mezze plate!

    Lovely pub and great food. The brewdog part of it makes the pub feel commercial 😐

    Yeah it is funny that Birdcage has refurbishment and all bew interior but the scent of sweaty armpits from notorious karaoke nights is still here

    Nice place, good beer and food but beware, even if you order at the bar they'll charge you 12.5% service charge.

    Very rude bar staff. We were told to leave in a very aggressive manner. The guy must have had a bad day and he took it out on us. Not going back

    Beer selection is good but this is some of the worst pub food I’ve ever had.

    Rubbish service, food is average at best. BrewDog a big disappointment. Maybe stick with making beers.

    Solo he ido para desayunar y he de decir que el desayuno está muy bien. Los huevos benedict muy ricos. Es genial para ir a desayunar antes de ir al mercado de las flores.
