Browse Our Recommended Pubs
Here at BeerGuideLondon.com we don't have complicated rules for choosing the pubs we list. To recommend a pub, we have to actually have had a beer there. Our pubs must also serve good beer from interesting breweries, and they must offer draft beer. We also consider additional criteria such as service and ambience. We like our pubs to offer something extra, be it interesting architecture, great atmosphere or excellent food. But first and most importantly they must serve good beer.
For the purposes of this Guide, ‘pub’ includes pubs, bars, brewery taps and bottle shops which allow on site drinking (what we call ‘bottle shop bars’). To qualify for a Guide entry, on site drinking is required, whatever the setting, plus a minimum of weekly opening on at least one day per week - plus that all important draft beer option.
You can also check out our "To Do List" of new or improved pubs, or places due to open soon, that may make it into the Guide once we have visited them.
