This pub was just around the corner from our hotel, so we stopped in more than once on our weeklong London vacay. As they would say in this part of the world, I was absolutely besotted with the cider they had on tap, and hubby got a Hazy IPA that he enjoyed. One night we shared a burger topped with tasty gherkins and burger sauce. It was cooked Medium to perfection. The fries were also nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. It's got a great atmosphere with lots TVs. A big darts tourney was going on when we stopped in one night. read more

Lovely good, lovely staff, great portion, and lovely environment. My full rack of pork was lovely however the salt and petter squid was not fried long enough or was not air dried long enough so was still a little 'wet'. All in all, I'd go back again if I want a pub for a beer with a few mates. read more

Awesome spot! They actually brew some of their own beers right in the space, one of the first actual breweries I have found in London. They also have quite a few beers on tap and in bottles. They will let you sample a beer and will give suggestions. We were even able to buy some of their beer that they brewed to take home. The space is eclectic and I loved the mis matched decor--it fit well. I would definitely recommend a stop by! read more

Stellar bar! Huge selection of beer! The flights of 3 beers was only 5£ which is such a great price for quality beers! Then we ordered what I would call a platter of gluttony - 4 tapas style bar food favs and heaping pile of chips! Damn good though! What fun! Lots of food for a great price. This place had such a great vibe. The servers were all incredibly friendly and personable. They helped us decide on great beers and eats. This is MUST if you're a beer lover. Lots of gems on the menu. read more

Not really sure what to call this place so we'll say its a pub/bar/dive bar/restaurant. We came in and were a bit skeptical as we walked down the stairs but it opened up into this great underground spot. We picked a table and ordered a tray of four of the dishes plus fries and sauces. We also chose two of the beers they had specially from their brewery. The beer was great and the food cane out quickly and was so yummy. A huge tray of filling food for £25. The guy who worked there was really great and helped us choose our drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed with people drinking beers after work with friends and tv's playing various different sports. A great place for a casual night with some good grub. read more

Looked up on Yelp for best brew pubs around St. Pauls and this gem came up. Was walking back to my hotel near covent gardens, turned off Strand street and found this place with people spilling out the door. Walked into the bar and went down a flight of stairs to find a bunch of candle lit tables full of fellow thirsty customers. Ordered a Crate Brewery IPA at the suggestion of the bartender...very good. Note: they let you sample before buying. Asked them for suggestions on a dinner selection as well after narrowing it down to Fish and Chips, burger, or pie of the day. The bartender suggested I try the shepherd's pie, so I did. Great choice; the crust was flakey with an awesome filling of beef, gravy and veggies. The mashed potatoes were flavorful, and paired with my IPA made for a great meal. The ambience is really nice mixing the traditional pub vibe with good music and a hip feel. I would have stayed longer, but Convent Gardens was calling me. Add this to your pub crawl in London along with the Cheshire Cheese. read more

What a find! Bf and I went here after receiving an email from Mr Hyde about local London brewery's and before we went out for dinner after work It was only 6pm but already very busy - not many places to sit so we stood at the bar and eventually got a few bar stools A great selection of beers including their beers brewed on site. Also the option of getting a paddle which lets you try 3 different drinks - each a 1/3 of a pint I tried 3 of their own beers and all were delicious! Will definitely be going back! read more

NO KIDS ALLOWED AT ANY TIME My husband booked this place a month in advance. After a redeye on out first night in London we walked 20 minutes in the rain, only to be turned away at 7PM because they do not allow children. My kids are 15 and 18 and as New Yorkers it never occurred to us that kids are not welcome! The webpage, open table and the confirmation email said nothing about this. We were hungry and tired and there are NO OTHER RESTAURANTS open nearby as this is a business district. It took an hour in the rain to find another place. Temple Brew, thank you very little for ruining the first night of our trip. read more

I stumbled into Temple Brewhouse during a search for a Christmas Party venue, and, boy, so glad that happened! We didn't end up booking the place, but I made sure to try it out as soon as I could. The beer selection is fantastic - always changing, always interesting, and always featuring a few local breweries. They also have a paddle option you can get for £4-£5 so you can try three different beers that are 1/3 pint each. It's a lot of fun bringing the paddle back to the group and hearing everyone ooh and ahh and ask which beers you're trying! The staff are friendly, efficient, and have always given me spot-on recommendations. It helps as well that they play actual GOOD music, so even if it can be loud depending on where you're sitting/standing, your ears will at least be very pleased. I actually also love the crowd that comes in. It feels unpretentious, casual, jovial - just the place to go to unwind with some of your colleagues and/or friends after work. I don't think this is a perfect 5, but it definitely has a lot going for it. I think it is one of the best pubs in its area, though, so I've gone with the 5. Tip: You can book tables for groups, so if you know there will be quite a few of you, might be worth booking so you can get seats and a table. read more

This was a nice pub to visit. I came here a few times! I had a few beverages inside but a few times it was busy and stood on the street with the rest of the crowd. The bar staff was very friendly. read more

Really surprised about this place. Was really feeling like London didn't have a lot of good food after trying a bunch of recommended restaurants. For st of all, atmosphere is grey! It feels like a bar for Decided to come here for fish and chips since it's close to my hotel. Me and my boyfriend had a couple beers, fish and chips and the shepherds pie. Holy moly! Both were really good and portion size were great. The shepherds pie taste like a really good home made pot roast inside a buttery flaky crust. This was a surprise since I was already let down by other recommendations on yelp. The fish and chips were well cooked and well seasoned. You can heard the crunch at the first night but not over cooked that the fish is dry. It is perfect! Surprised about how only a few reviews were left on this establishment. I will certainly return! Delish! read more

Great food and drink. Not very good a/c. It was hotter inside than outside. Note: Others notice bathrooms and cleanliness of a place I notice establishments a/c. read more

I absolutely adored this stop! Visiting London from Texas and was looking for a spot with some good craft beer. We were a little hungry so we decided to share a burger. I'm so thankful we decided to try the menu. The burger was outstanding, the mac and cheese delicious, and the fries were perfection. I cannot say enough good things about the menu. The beer selection is fantastic too! We had two flights of beer, you can pick any 3 per flight for 5 pounds. Not to mention the atmosphere was so relaxed and the decor was very cool. Each table had a candle lit and was so great! I will be coming back here someday! Highly recommend if you're from out of town to visit here. read more

Owing more in style to an American bar than a traditional English pub, the Temple Brew House is a warm and welcoming place. On my visit, the Six Nations rugby championship was in full swing and this dominated the bar with a huge screen showing a game. There was a special Six Nations-themed burger menu which was fun, if a tad bizarre (mashed potato on a burger?). The chips were disappointing, being soggy and not very appetising. The cask ales were well kept. The clientele was very young as were the friendly staff. When my Irish inspired burger arrived without the advertised stout shot, the server brought me a third pint in recompense. I look forward to going back when it's less frenetic. read more

A fun place with tasty local beers. Enjoyed the fish and hips while watching a Premiere league match. Fun.

Yes yes yes! love craft beer? come to the Temple! Amazing beer selection on tap which is beautiful and also nice staff and lovely location (inside and outside) :) Affligem Blond is the one I choose (I had a pint because I am strong and I can handle a 6,80% abv...let's say that) BUT you have a great selection that is going from lager to stout to Pale Ale, just pick your favourite one and enjoy! Ask the staff about the beer of the day, you won't be disappointed. PS: I know that sounds no-sense but please don't come here if you are looking for a Fosters or an Heineken...this is not your place. read more

We found this underground wonderland thanks to Yelp. So, thanks to all those Yelpers who have reviewed the Temple Brewhouse! You have to navigate your way down some fairly unprepossessing stairs but then you find yourself in an underground happy place. A range of seating areas, beer a-plenty and a very relaxed vibe. This is definitely one to explore further in the future...and tours of the brewing process are available. Interesting. read more

This place is home to the Essex Street Brewery. It's an OK spot. First and foremost, though, the beers are somewhat mediocre. I had four on my first visit. Each was seriously lacking condition and served above cellar temperature; so, I have to question their cellaring practices. Beyond the shabby condition I could detect the makings of decent beer, so hopefully this place will improve. The venue itself is not bad at all. It's on the basement floor of the building and the ambiance is pretty solid, and fairly unique. The beer selection is decent, with a few London highlights on tap, such as Kernel, Beavertown, Meantime, Sambrooks. The staff was friendly. The value was alright; cask flights (three 1/3 pours) for GBP 4 is nice. So long as the quality of the beers is like is now, I wouldn't call this place a must-visit. But if they improve it could be a great spot. read more

Fantastic pub near the strand, great beers and atmosphere. I especially liked the Brewhouse Pale Ale, fruity with zest. Would definitely recommend here, we didn't eat but the food looked incredible. read more

Came in at 9:50 and they're supposed to close at midnight... they were open but decided to close early since it was dead. Waste of a cab ride read more

Oh no. No one's reviewed Temple Brewhouse. This is a dilemma. I don't want you to come here - I want this all to myself - but at the same time I have to share with others how great this place is. Temple Brewhouse is an innocuous, downstairs brewery that serves some of the best beer in London and beyond. It's definitely a more contemporary place, clad in sanded wood, glass, and steel, but it's been decorated with a few choice items that make it interesting. It's definitely not one of the many moody pubs that cover London - it's more fresh - but it still feels quaint and homey. All that is backstory to the beer. They have an amazing selection of brews from London and beyond. When I'm down here, I'm never wanting for a tasty cold one. The staff are knowledgeable and smile a lot. Overall, the vibe in this place is at once relaxed, festive, and fun. So, there it is...now you know...just don't tell your friends. Please. read more

I visited Temple Brew House while on holiday in London and, just before that, in Paris. After having plenty of great wine and cocktails in Paris, I found myself really, really wanting a super hoppy American IPA. Temple Brew House had a couple of great IPAs to choose from, the food was great (I had onion rings, my sister had the fish and chips), and the basement brewery atmosphere was super chill and comfortable. I didn't get to try many beers, so I probably should've done the flight. Overall, the vibes were good and if I lived in the area (and I wish I did) I would definitely be back! read more

Excellent little brewpub. They had 6-8 cask ales, a dozen or so taps, and a great bottle menu of local and imported craft beers. The food is better than average pub fare, but the real draw (for me) was the beer. read more

So here's what's up...I'm visiting London on vacation, and something that I am very passionate about is beer. I love good beer, the rarer, the richer, and the more expensive the better. I've been to several places in the last few days that didn't cut it, but I decided I'd try one more stop before I head to Brussels for some exceptional beer tomorrow. Really glad I found this place. The bartender (who's name I can't remember...lady about 30-years-old or so with glasses) was very knowledgeable and steered me towards some things I hadn't yet tried and I was super pleased with her choices. She helped me discover Siren Craft brews along with the house brews and wow, very delicious choices. Also, her attitude was super chipper and she seemed to genuinely enjoy conversing with me on these tasty beers. 10/10 would recommend to someone coming to visit London to head here. read more

Great spot! Popped in here on our first night in London after reading about it on a comprehensive list of breweries. The staff was incredibly friendly and I loved the relaxed ambiance. We only nibbled on one appetizer, onion rings, but it was delicious and I loved the garlic butter sauce accompaniment. This is a great pub and has board games to boot! read more

This place is a good find! Super tasty drinks (I had the cider--it was delightful) and good food! We had a burger and the chicken sandwich!

We made a dinner reservation but decided not to stay as the beer was very disappointing. One of the beers we ordered was flat, as well. We ordered the lasagna balls which were very tasty. Wouldn't recommend if visiting London, much better options available. read more

Good burger and brews. We went after the London marathon. We wanted something different and this place was it. Food was good and beer was very nice. Will definitely be back. read more

Nice atmosphere if you can get a table. I tried once around 6 (no luck) but tried again at 5 and it was fine. Good food. We had the Mac and Cheese with Spinach and the Cajun Fish Burger. Interesting micro brews, too. Worth stopping by. read more

First-time visit. Very friendly staff, very patient with us foreigners asking stupid questions, very good recommendations of different ales (even handed out samples for tasting). The "blue cheese rump burger" with its tasty relish was a revelation, easily the best burger I ever had. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, the pub is located downstairs and not closed (as I first assumed). read more

The brew house was a great fist stop in London. Staff helped choose the beers. The burger was surprisingly good and the onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. Great spot. read more

A true gem. This little basement joint was introduced to my by two friends living in London. Unpretentious and simple pub with great beer selection: on tap, bottled, also some brewed in house. Full menu until 10pm, with selection of tapas, traditional and non traditional pub food. I went with the fish and chips which was LITERALLY an entire fish fried (bones removed). Cozy as can be and perfect for a night out with friends. read more

The food and beer is good And the atmosphere is perfect to have a good pint. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a good pint.

The staff here is just amazing- extremely helpful and attentive. They go out of their way to make your time there enjoyable. The food is very tasty. This is our second time here during this trip, and will be out "go to" stop whenever we visit London. read more
