But, it came to end real quick, maybe next time. This Pub is close to the Tower London Underground including several nearby Hotels, making it convenient to walk back and forth before having a nightcap at the hotel lobby.

People in Business suits, drinking away every weeknight. The Scotch Eggs were a highlight. Also, some of the best Buffalo Wings I've ever had outside of New York/New England. The Burger was good too. The bartender talked me through the ciders available, and made some great suggestions. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is friendly, even if a bit busy. My only knock is that it is very busy, and very loud! If you're hoping for a quiet dinner, this isn't your place! But overall, a solid 4 stars!

The bartender let us know that while the sign read food was served upstairs only, they were under construction so food would be served downstairs in the main pub area instead--but not until 5 (it was around 4:30 pm). We thanked him and decided to grab a drink and wait for food service. The menu of house ales, lagers, bitters, etc. + spirits was one I later saw at 1-2 other pubs who must share the same brewery. I tried a couple of beers and both were great. My wife had a cocktail which she enjoyed. The most noticeable thing at first was how quiet this pub is-- you could hear a pin drop. This likely changes later in the evening, but without music playing and the scattered patrons softly chatting at their tables, it was very quiet. Which really worked for us as we fought jet lag. We ordered food at the bar, my wife had fish and chips and I had the sausage and mash platter topped with onion rings. Both were delicious and fairly priced. This was all in all a great first pub to visit in London.

I loved that they use by-products of their brewing to feed their fish! Definitely a unique place.

This plate was so good!! It was a pretty large serving and the fish was crispy on the outside and very tender and insider. I don't know what was included in those peas but they were delicious and I wish I could have asked for an extra side because I enjoyed them that much. I had a light beer which went perfectly with my fish and chips and didn't feel heavy in anyway. It was pretty busy and packed at the Hydrant and as a solo diner sitting in the only available large table for 4, I felt like the hostess looked annoyed with me because she kept looking over to me and I felt rushed by her? Idk but that was my reason for taking off one star but overall a very decent food experience at The Hydrant!

After leaving a different brewery-branded craft beer bar very close by (three guesses...), a friend…read moreand I headed here in search of more delicious beer in a calmer and quieter atmosphere. One of my regular bus routes goes right by the front doors, so from the moment I saw the construction going on and the Goose Island stencils on the windows, I'd been super excited to try this place once it opened. I was looking forward to finally sitting down inside. The brewpub, which occupies a ground-floor unit, is definitely spacious. The bar is on the left as you walk in, with a row of high-top tables to the right. In back up a couple of stairs is another seating area and the brew equipment. This means Goose Island has more space than some other bars in Shoreditch, which helped the atmosphere feel calmer than where we had been before. And we didn't need to shout to hear each other. The friendly bartender helped us sample a number of brews on tap before we made up our minds on a Gillian (strawberry honey gose) and an IPA. We also perused the food menu, and shared an order of fries (£3) which were seriously nothing to write home about. Familiar with the well-designed, internationally-inspired, beer-paired food menus at other Goose Island locations in places like Seoul and Shanghai, I was disappointed to see their London offerings. They've opted for a sort of Chicago-inflected Americana with pizzas, subs, and a few sides. I'd call it rather boring. Sure, the 16" pizzas coming out to other tables smelled good, but for between £14-16, I'd expect something more special. In fact, I'd expected something more special in general. The generic exposed brick design that's probably supposed to mirror "gritty" Chicago felt hollow. The answer that I got when I asked what makes the 312 an "urban" wheat beer (that it's "urban" because it's from Chicago) forced an awkward laugh from my throat. The nicest thing was the bathrooms which, though I deplore gender segregation--come on people, go unisex, it's just a pot to piss in--provided three "F" to one "M" and had great-smelling soap. Kinda sad though if that's what impressed me most. I probably won't be back.
