• "The atmosphere, music, general liveliness and on point staff make for a very good visit."

Cons:

• "The pub itself really lacks any character."
• "spartan decor with metal plate flooring and stairs"
• "Typical chain bar...lacks character..little to commend it really just another plastic fake bar."
• "This place gets really loud at night - you've been warned."
• "Gets quite a pretentious crowd so if that bothers you then don't go."
• "Sometimes it's too rammed though."
• "The actual place seemed to be lacking in the Brewdog spark, in the decor and in the staff."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "great selection of craft brewed beers"
• "Amazing time! As a vegan family (with a 3 years old) we were so much welcomed. Quite a lot of vegan options!"
• "A great selection of beers... almost too much choice and overwhelming."
• "Excellent range of Brewdogs' own range of beers available on tap."
• "Also, the Buffalo cauliflower is seriously next level."
• "Forever my favourite place to get a vegan beer and burger."
• "Huge selection of Brewdog beers (at a considerable expense, compared to Wetherspoons & supermarkets) with an excellent food menu focused around beef and vegan burgers."

Cons:

• "Flat pint, and waited over an hour for Seitan wings which did not appear - so asked for a refund and was kindly reimbursed."
• "Only went there, because my friend is Vegan and he wanted a Vegan burger. When he got it, he said it smelled like his feet and was a struggle to eat."
• "This Heritage Tomato Salad smelled awful and was returned and refunded."
• "Overpriced food! Not only did half our meals arrive cold and had to be sent back but the pizzas were lacking in flavour completely."
• "Food quality is very average."
• "Expensive for what you get."
• "Good beer selection, TERRIBLE food. Don't get the food! Dry salty burgers without enough relish."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "£6.85 (I think) for a pint of stout. Good to see realistic pricing."

• "Great location right next to shoreditch high street station, the beers are local and a good price."

Cons:

• "You're paying a tenner for burgers without chips."
• "The prices are a tad high however that comes part and parcel with the location."
• "They still price their beer like a craft-brewery even though they're currently producing large-scale."
• "Lost a star for only having alcohol free beer in the special fridge which you then had to pay £2 corkage fee on making it more expensive than an actual beer."
• "The beer is also expensive to the nth degree"
• "Silly high prices, but lately all bars have high prices."
• "Veggie or vegan burger costs £14,75 and chips aren't included, they cost extra 3 quid."
