Martin JonassonSeptember 26, 2018Great selection of beers on both tap and cask. Great location in a casual setting. The staff are very helpful to help you find something that you will enjoy.
Keith GreywoodJune 18, 2017Loved the small burgers served here from prairie fire bbq, so I had two. Liked the firey fries too. Awesome selection of beer and large area downstairs for groups.

Megan ButlerNovember 24, 2014An almost bewildering array of great beers. The staff are amazingly helpful so you'll not be lost for long. Meet the brewer nights are also great. I think Wild Beer is coming up GET THERE IF YOU CAN!
One of my favourite London bars...amazing for the regular Salopian Brewery Tap Takeovers and reasonable prices also- lovely Covent Garden setting. They have other locations that I need to try also!...
Great selection of beers from some top breweries (kernel, partisan, evil twin, stone, wild beer and many more), plus a huge selection of spirits. Swimming pool smell was not present when I was there!
Martin MitchellJuly 7, 2017Very impressed with such a wide variety of ales for a small pub. Prices vary as you'd expect but just pick something you like the sound of!
ChrisAugust 31, 2014Stopped here on my 21st birthday. Amazing selection of ales, local and European, and the bartenders certainly know their theory! Not much atmos, but you'd come for the drinks! Yummy pork pies too!
Annie CMay 23, 2014Perfect place for drinks. Booked space for 20 at no charge on a Thurs night. Food is delicious & staff friendly. Only downside is no table service so always need to elbow to the crowded bar.
OJ BratApril 3, 2016Oh yeah...great alternative to your typical British pubs. Contemporary craft beers of high quality and some nice whisky as well. Super crowded place.
Gorka GuridiOctober 3, 2020Huge beer selection, can't count the taps. They have a basement with more seating and offer food. Since lockdown also outdoor seating. One of my fav pubs in London...
Great bar! Slightly smaller bar than Leather Lane yet they've fit even more taps in. There is a downstairs room similar to the upstairs at Leather Lane if it's a little busy in the bar area.- Will BertelsenAugust 13, 2018Great selection of both beer and spirits. Go during the day and enjoy the people watching from the window seats.
Great beer, knowledgeable bar staff and it's normally nice and quiet for a lunchtime pint. Great chips - the parmesan and truffle ones in particular. Bloody Mary ketchup!
Jimmy AngelakosSeptember 11, 2018Excellent craft beer selection, some rarities on tap and a friendly atmosphere for connoisseurs and newbies
Tony Muraki-HartNovember 30, 2018Great beer selection, must be over 20 types. I was focused on the gin - amazing selection. Great choice of whiskey too. Great bar overall!
This Craft Beer Co not only has a solid selection of beer, but it has the best whisky selection out of all of them. Perfect for a Tuesday.
Phil AdamsFebruary 7, 2016So many amazing beers. Choice is the only problem. I wonder if they could do a better job presenting styles/options/breweries to you. Other than a 'staff favorite' there wasn't any guidance.
Michael HadwinOctober 1, 2014Slightly out of the way round the corner from Neil's Yard. Well kept wide range of craft beers. Outside standing space and a basement where you can sit.
Jules BelcherMay 3, 2015Very wide selection of craft beers, good burgers and there's more room downstairs if it looks too busy from street level.
Ihar IvanouDecember 7, 2018Huge selection of beers and a very pleasant ambiance. Food is good and inexpensive too.
- An amazing range of beers! The bar is well located in the Holborn-British Museum area. Easier to find than the Clerkenwell branch too.
Magnus BergströmMay 14, 2017Great variation of selections on tap, and experienced staff to help you from your preferences.
Cintain 昆遊龍September 28, 2018Super-large selection of beers on tap, and friendly staff. The food is very tasty. Fries and wings FTW! 😋
Cigdem Cakci RobertDecember 27, 2014Wine-style beers served in here. Give it a try. Alcohol vol. is high, however they are silky, sweety and honey-based. At the core they all contain velvet revolution inside.
Leach E. E.December 24, 2015Extensive beer selection and burger was very acceptable. They take bookings, which is excellent.
Mary C O'SullivanFebruary 6, 2015Most crafties pack a punch re: alcohol percentage, and this place has so many to choose from. it's bound to be the cause of many sore heads. Worth it.
50 craft beer taps, apparently the most in the UK. Great spot for watching the world go by in a weekday...
Matt LuchtMay 15, 2014Untypical to other Craft Beer Co.'s -- bad service (one of the bar staff sipped my beer before passing it onto me), a long wait to get served. On the plus side, a great selection of beer.
Andrew woodAugust 6, 2014Bewildering array of beers. Nicely hipster, big burgers and good chips. Downstairs will be better in the winter than the summer.- Gary SimmonsOctober 5, 2014Great selection of draught and bottles beers. Ridiculously busy after work on. Friday. Magic Rock, Magic 8 Ball is delicious.
Chris ReesFebruary 19, 2016Loads of different ales, avoid 6-7pm as that is when the afterwork crowd makes getting a drink a 20min ordeal. Proper tables downstairs
Gemma GilleardMarch 9, 2015Nice choice of beer, New venues available in more central areas which is super for the beer loving traveller
Jonathan CreamerMarch 8, 2015Amazing. Great beer selection. Tons of scotch. Nice atmosphere. There's a lounge downstairs too.
Superb beer selection. Clientele seems a bit more impatient and sharp elbowed here than at the other Craft Beer Co pubs.
Xavier ObonApril 3, 2019Great service and plenty of advice for those who are not familiar with their extensive beer selection
Rebecca LynchJuly 13, 2015Really great selection of beers that the staff know all about to guide you through a great beer journey.- Peadar de BlúitJanuary 29, 2016Nice spot. Great selection of craft beer, but yet innately English somehow. Conveniently located too.
Susan LohSeptember 15, 2014in addition to the great beer selection, they also have an extensive whisky list, including Pappy!
Chris ChenSeptember 14, 2016Great craft beer selection (obviously) though on the pricey side, even for central London
They change the taps regularly and have a decent mix of styles.
Alex StillMarch 9, 2016It's a chain, but the beer list is great, taps are well kept, and the bottle list has some rare treats.
Maria MattosJune 22, 2015Great selection of beers and spirits. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries, they're amazing!
Great selection of well kept beers. Great and knowledgeable staff. Epic sausage sandwich.
great selection of beers. always ask what is good, the staff are a fountain of wisdom.
Can SensesJuly 1, 2018You can’t find lots of varieties but plenty of good stuff for every kind of beer
- Artur RodriguesApril 5, 2017Fine selection of craft beer on tap and big dining area on the basement.
