Draft House

The Draft House is a small group of Public Houses which aims to do for beer what our culture has done for food and wine over the past twenty years.

We also serve delicious, hearty food which goes well with our beer.

The Draft House in Bermondsey, London Pub Review and Details

We don't know what exactly is going on in this area, but some kind of gentrification is obviously taking place as the Draft House is another cracking pub in the area (along with the Bridge House only a few doors down).

Okay, it's a slightly different proposition - lots and lots of beers as opposed to one kind - we think you'll be spoilt for choice.

There's friendly & knowledgeable staff, the aforementioned huge beer range of local beers as well as European and New World - we had Sambrook's Porter when we were in last and it was spot on for a cold afternoon.

Part of a small group (three pubs) devoted to good beer and excellent food, we have to like these places - they're dragging the pub into the 21st century.

If anything, places that do lots of things well, such as the Draft House, are doing a great job of making pubs the centre of the community again.

The Draft House Tower Bridge review 2 – Second time lucky? | The ...

This prediction turned out to be true as I found myself at The Draft House with The Euro Hedgie on a weekday evening.

As a side dish the Hedgie ordered some onion rings.

Sadly the loaf at the centre of it all lacked the tangy sweetness, nuttiness and denseness needed to hold the dish together relying almost entirely on the toffee sauce and ice cream for flavour.

The Euro Hedgie’s first choice of Inedit, a beer developed in part by El Bulli supremo Ferran Adrià and rarely seen in the UK, was also out of stock.

From my experience most dishes are disappointing or merely average save for highlights such as the scotch eggs and the devils on horseback which are part of the sharing plates section of the menu.

Draft House Paddigton is sat at the top of the Paddington canal basin behind the Hilton Metropole, and just so happens to be the first Draft House pub to be serving pizza.

The pub is in a modern building, but they have been inspired by the Victorian age of travel and wonder - of canals, railways and ocean liners.

The canal at Paddington, now a place of urban beauty for alternative types to live on long-boats while tourists and workers wander past, was the cutting edge of logistics when it was built at mind-boggling expense in the 1810s, providing a way of shipping goods from the north and west to London.

They have sought to capture this excitement via the creation of Draft House World – a string of fantasy beer islands.

These are linked together by imaginary beer maps on the walls of the pub, surveyed and plotted by the geniuses at Studio Frith.

The Draft House, 206-208 Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 (020 7378 9995).

Meal for two, including beer and service, £65 The list of beers on tap at the Draft House by Tower Bridge reads like a bunch of geographical landmarks from The Lord of the Rings: here's Chalky's Bark and Brugs Wit, Dogfish Head and Mac's Gold.

Thick pieces of quality bread smeared with a big, sticky mix of ham hock and trotter burnished with sesame seeds is exactly the sort of the thing you would want to trough as you work your way down the draft list, all of which is available by the thirds of pints as well as halves.

A sweet onion tart overlaid with a disc of very good goat's cheese was terrifyingly sweet, but alongside a glass of bitter ale worked very well.

Better still was my burger: a serious piece of meat served thick and rare with smoked cheese in a soft, sweet but proper bit of bun alongside good fries.

The focus is on carefully sourced and served beer but food plays an important role too, with a US influence coming through on the burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork buns and Americanised salads.

It's the beer, though, that pulls in most punters - and the fact that they are available by the one-third pint does wonders for a little exploration.

They brew their own beer too, naturally.
