Beer Selection

Pros:

  • "Good selection of well-crafted beers, including guest taps."
  • "Good selection of beers on tap with even more to choose from from other breweries in the fridges."
  • "If you love craft beer and gritty bars, you will love this place. Two floors, each with a bar full of taps of their own brews as well as guest beers."
  • "Great beer selection!!"
  • "The beers are of course amazing! The choice is, as always, wide and excellent."
  • "The drink selection was amazing with various rotating brews and local selections."
  • "A great selection of unique IPAs and Lagers."

Cons:

  • "For actual beer nerds there is nothing of note to be had, basically a few crumby gateway beers IPAs, pale ales, saison and all that cobblers) and some average RIS's etc."
  • "Beers were slightly overpriced, especially when you can find most of them in your supermarket."
  • "The beer selection seemed to be missing the experimental beers they used to have."
  • "Even the iconic punk ipa turned into an indifferent watery liquid."
  • "Beer choice has really slipped. I still like all the brewdog beers but the choice of guest beer have disappeared."
  • "The beers tend to be average (this is Brewdog after all) and overpriced."
  • "Considering they're selling their own bottled beer why is it twice the price you can get it at a local shop?"

  • "Ladies at the bar seem to have some sort of an issue with discipline as they pretend not to hear you when you order."

  • "The bar can get a bit crowded and noisy in the evening but that’s pretty standard for any Soho pub."

  • "Place is pricey too."
  • "Paid for an extremely overpriced beer here today which wasn't even served in a pint but in a size smaller glass."
