Now that you've finished laughing at its silly name, I shall tell you that this is a rather good little pub, at the top of Mare Street, attracting the overflow of hipsters from Broadway Market. Actually, there was a mixed crowd – sure, there was a lot of the younger generation, but also some older, more traditional pub-going folk – you know, people with dogs and beards before they were cool.We only had time for one but I'm sure when I'm in the area I'll be back. They serve the usual suspects of Kernel, Camden Hells etc, but they also apparently have an in-house brewery called Howling Hops, which we didn't try. And they served my large wine in a carafe which I always like.
Now that they laugh about his silly names, I will tell them that this is a pretty good little pub, at the top of the mare street, which attracts the abundance of the hipster from the broadway market. Actually there was a mixed crowd – sure there was a lot of younger generation, but also some older, more traditional pub-going folk – you know, people with dogs and barten before they were cool. we had only a time, but I am sure when I am in the opposite, I am back. They serve the usual suspects of kernel, camden hells etc., but they obviously also have an in-house brewery called howling hops, which we did not try and they served my great wein in a carafe I always like.
Everyone else is going to tell you to go to The **** Tavern if you want to pick from a staggering choice of ales in the home of Howling Hops. I'm going to tell you to go if you're into a hefty bar snack. TCT offers a serious range of pork pies and scotch eggs. I mean really serious. We ordered a round of the kernel's pale ale and washed it down with a pork pie each, this was a good decision. Sharing a porkpie of this magnitude just isn't going to cut the mustard (of which, incidentally, there was plenty) and I decided this was basically the most perfect combination of all time. Go for the beer, stay for the pork.
each other will tell them that they will go to the **** tavern if they want to choose from an overwhelming selection of ales in the home of howling hops. I'll tell you to go if you're in a ugly barbagstack. tct offers a wide selection of poros and scotch eiern. I'm really serious. we ordered a round of the kernel pale ale and washed it with a pork cake, that was a good decision. sharing a porkpie of this size is simply not going to cut the screed (of which, otherwise, there was a lot) and I decided that this was the most perfect combination of all time in the round. Go to the beer, stay for the pig. Book a table now
Excellent Victorian Pub in the Heart of Hackney. A Real Ale and Real Cider drinker's paradise. Has Eight Real Ales. Eight Real Ciders and Eight Craft Beers on Tap. The Staff are very helpful when are was asking questions about the Ales. Well worth a visit on a Hackney pub crawl.
decent tavern with a lot of choice for beer and a vanilla stout that is super tasty! if they are looking for a decent pint and a real pub vibe, then here is their place, plus it has a funny name and its always say a giggle they have been there!
a nice bar with a good selection of beer on the models. great place to stop after a show at the theater next door. I was surprised to take our pint glasses and sit outside on the pavement. but hey, I don't complain!
Great selection of beers, lovely atmosphere and not super packed. Come for the beer garden Book a table now
a real pub serves an amazing series of cask and craft keg beer and apple wines
