The Truman Brewery Reviews Summary

Venue Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The Old Truman's brewery is the place of the moment, great exhibitions and events all year around."
• "Lovely place to have a couple of beers, we enjoyed the weather outside on the terrace."
• "It's a place for a young trendy crowd, great place to holler at some birds."
• "Definitely the place to be!"
• "Great vibe, in house DJ playing Rn'b music. Great night out with friends with In house entertainment."
• "Events happening here always go down well, and always have a good turnout from locals."
• "An excellent venue for the New Artists Exhibition."

Cons:

• "It's a gorgeous building, just wish it didn't feel like the fifth circle of hell inside."
• "Quirky and arty it may be. But scruffy, dirty and derelict it also is."
• "The bars were 4 deep. Dreadfully underwhelming."
• "The place was so packed that I cant say I enjoyed it all that much."
• "The venue was not ready. Security had clearly not been properly briefed and many exhibits were not finished."
• "It's confusing to find the correct venue when they do not give the proper address."
• "I really despise this event venue, it's the worst place in London for setting up anything. Nothing but stairs, stairs stairs. And the building is basically rotting around you."

Food and Drink

Pros:

• "Went to do cider tasting, a board of 8 half pints for £10. Totally worth it."
• "The food is not the best but the people are amazing in that location."
• "They do a great food court with delicious different types of food."
• "Such a great place and by some way quite hidden. It's not immediately noticeable from the street how many great food traders are in there from around the world."
• "Great food, lots of people, great atmosphere, tons of food options!"
• "Always a great place to wander around... I tend to go for the selection of international street food from Mexico to Angolan."
• "It's so well-priced and offers such a wide variety of items that everyone will love!"

Cons:

• "Not impressed by the sides so much and I tried pretty much all of them."
• "Disappointed with the few stalls inside, I am sure that there were more there on my previous visit."
• "I would've like to have seen vintage brands like Gola, Dunlop, and Hi-tec or everyday brands like Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, and Converse."
• "Was a bit disappointed with the décor and design. Has an outside area and bar and though the drink cocktails involving Peroni were nice (some very weird – ice cream inside a cocktail anyone?)."
• "I was reccomend salted caramel but honestly I did not taste any caramel flavour."
• "Waiting 20 minutes for a drink to arrive and 30 minutes for chicken wings."
• "Talking of which £5.70 for a small beer and a packet crisps about sums up this place."

Space and Layout

Pros:

• "The Truman Brewery is an awesome venue that I've been to twice."
• "What an awesome space to put on such a massive event in the middle of London."
• "Visited during the MLB London event in the quiet hours. Enough space and weather was nice which helps big time to create a good atmosphere."
• "The large space allows for a lot of people to go round without being too crowded."
• "In the basement they have a wonderful vintage bazaar of sellers."
• "The Truman Brewery space upstairs is a nice, light and flexible space which offers a nice open and relaxed atmosphere for the event which is taking place."
• "It's huge on the inside, which is welcome. There was 's a lots of room for people to move around."
