We were fortunate enough to visit WC on the August Bank Holiday weekend and there was much fanfare, fuss and fabulous brews. Picnic tables dot the front of the brewery along with a street food stand. Jerk chicken and bhangra burgers were on the menu during our stay. Inside the brewery is a small bar with WC's three beer on tap. I recall tasting their ruby ale and the very hoppy IPA. The third choice escapes me. Kegs of guest beers from local breweries stood off to the side and a fridge with the bottled selection stood back behind the counter. My partner had a lovely hazelnut brown ale and I had an outstanding cardamom stout. Both were just the right amount of nut and spice. Fever Tree products for the non-drinker in our group seemed to satisfy. At dusk the interior lights were dimmed and out came many, many candles. Their glow made for a very intimate and cosy vibe. I enjoyed sitting and sipping while chatting with my seat mates. And from the looks of it, everyone else in the joint did, too! What I enjoyed most about Wild Card was that it seemed to be a place that attracted folk from all walks of life. There were young and old, hip and square, families and singles all enjoying a brew and a chin wag. I would recommend those beer lovers up in the N17 and N16 areas (and those keen on a taking a wee trek) to get on over to Wild Card. I hardly think one would be disappointed.

The décor is Victorian and the walls are covered with various beer memorabilia, most coming from somewhere else of course, but that doesn't make it look any less impressive. The drinks are cheap, about 2 pounds a pint for the ales. The lagers are a little more. The reason why the ale is so reasonable? Well it is brewed just out back. This pubs small beer garden separates the pub from the Brodie's brewery. They do make some excellent beers. The Blonde and the sunshine were my favourites but I managed to sample most of them and they were all pretty decent. The Thai food here is reputed to be excellent. I'm afraid I only tried some prawn crackers but they were certainly decent so I'd be keen to try a full meal here sometime. This is a really excellent pub, very close to a 5 rating, but I'd like to come back to be sure.

To my Yelp friend Dean C - Found this great UK brewery. Sorry, but it is kinda far away from the…read moredowntown tourist London area. But it is worth it since it is a "brewery mall." Quality/Quantity - Small simple menu done very well. Including the beer, good beer! My self made flight was good. I was worried that I ordered too many... All my beers were good. Can I suggest adding flights to your menu? Guest beers are also offered, see picture. Kegged wines, wines on tap. Pizza was great, sorry if I offended the "chef" by asking for parmesan cheese. I guess extra parmesan cheese is an Italian thing, not a UK thing...? We ordered the sweet potato, stilton & walnut pizza. Gluten free and vegan options are also available. Atmosphere - Amazing space, huge, indoor/outdoor, two stories, etc. Also outdoor on the river. Lounge area, picnic tables, "pallet" benches, barrel tables, etc. Semi open kitchen, see picture. Good people watching space. You can walk to the other breweries if you want to try more. Plenty of clean bathrooms on both floors. Also thanks for the outside/separate sinks in the upstairs restrooms. Dog friendly. Monthly events. DJ's on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Service - Menus and prices clear and plentiful. Hit and miss, but that's okay because I am drinking good beer and fairly easy going. Cool inclusive culture, see picture. Reservations available for groups of 4 or more. Price - 24 pounds + tip. Owner Comment - FYI, your website link on Yelp does not work for me...? But I can find it via Google.

I settled on the Kashmiri dal and whilst I was skeptical the bartender assured me it was delicious. And she was spot on although deeming it pizza is a misnomer: it's more of a crispy flatbread. Anyway the flavours were delicious!!! I was really skeptical of how the dal, banana slices and chili flakes would all go together but it was spicy, fragrant and tough to not eat all in one go (got it for takeaway). Really cool space on the canal as well with lots of seating indoors and a bit more limited outdoors. Almost right across from the overground. Plus dog-friendly!!

Settled in on a dewy Saturday evening (as in, the clouds opened about an hour into our meal) for a delicious pub dinner of steak onglet and lamb chops. A little disappointed by my "side salad", which really consisted of a handful of limp watercress, BUT, the steak was cooked to perfection and those chips ... errmygawd those chips!!! So, so good. Lamb chops were the real winner though, and paired with a glass of Cote du Rhone, we were set for the evening - even when it began to rain. Staff were so nice and apologetic about running out of my first choice (err, the lamb chops - I was generous and let my husband have his!) and replacing it with the steak instead. Rare to find in any pub, let alone one this far east! Definitely worth stopping by - live music on select evenings and the big space means it doesn't get crowded too easily.

Whilst Scenario in Dalston is focused on console gaming (Wii U, SNES and others), Secret Weapon are focusing on PC gaming similar to Meltdown and as such have several PCs for people to try out. The drinks on tap are a bit more like a typical pub fare in that there is Carling, Guinness and Budvar (Czech) and several others; but their bottle and can range is more vibrant from several breweries such as Flying Dog and Monteiths, In addition they have the same gaming cocktails that their Dalston bar are known for so it adds to the gaming vibe. The pub itself is largely intact from it's previous form in that it has kept more of the old school decor around. It has only one floor, but there is a beer garden out the back so you can get some fresh air in between gaming or watching some people play games.

For far too long, Tap East was the best bet in Stratford for a good selection of craft beer on tap…read more Its location in the behemoth Westfield Shopping Centre in E20 has made it a slightly awkward site for a quick beer- it's perfect if you have been dragged out on a shopping trip, but making a special stopover to Westfield for a beer is slightly unappealing. And the opening hours extend to only 11:00pm on a Friday and Saturday, so it's not ideal for a longer drinking session. Despite this, Tap East does get in some very good beer from local and International breweries. It boasts 16 taps and a selection of over 100 bottles in the fridges. In addition to this, they have their own microbrewery in situ, often offering their in-house range on cask. The beers on offer are always rotating and you'll find a good range of styles represented. It's a cosy little corner of a bar, offering some outdoor seating as well. The staff are usually quite knowledgeable of their range and there's a small menu of nibbles available. It's usually quite busy, but you won't have to wait too long to get a seat. Despite the downside of its position in Westfield, Tap East is still worth a visit to see what's on offer. I have found some rare iterations here and their own beer is also solid.

The dining room area is also quite spacious and the eggshell-blue walls are soothing. The lovely ceiling frieze indicates this must once have been a parlour or hall of some sort. But the bar service, where I ordered, already lends to one negative star. I ordered the veggie burger (sweet potato, kidney beans, mushrooms, hummus) and asked for no cucumber or chips with it and the barman with scraggly black hair made a face of sorts and raised his eyebrow. Seriously? I really don't care what your opinion is of my order; your job is to take it. So per usual, terrible customer service rears its face in London. The burger arrived quickly and whilst presented OK, it tasted good but not great. The burger is held together well with beans jutting out and is a good portion size; the taste of mushrooms is subtle, but it just lacked enough oomph. It's also laughable how the menu notes rocket is on the burger and there were literally two leaves. It's leaves you sated but for £9.50, it's not something I would get again or advise other fellow veggies to get. Also the rest of the menu is boring pub fare; the online (and therefore wrong) menu is much more exciting.
