Beer House Waterloo in Lambeth

Bajando las escaleras desde el enorme vestíbulo de la estación de Waterloo, The Beer House es básicamente un pub y un bar de hamburguesas. Y si parece un poco aburrido, eso es porque lo fue. Sí, esta fue una vez uno de los baños públicos de Waterloo, ahora reimaginado como un pub, más pub grub. Las hamburguesas encabezan la lista del menú, pero son muy caras, incluso si vienen con papas fritas. Hamburguesas cuestan de 11 a 16. Francamente, lo harías igual de bien en una de las hamburguesas de comida rápida de la estación. Puede "actualizar" sus papas fritas a batatas fritas si paga otra quid. Los desayunos de todo el día son 11. Fórmula y bastante sosa.

Tenía la mejor parte de una hora para esperar mi tren y quería un almuerzo ligero. Intenté pedir un sándwich, pero me dijeron que solo podía pedir el almuerzo. No necesitaba tanto para comer. Así que pensé que tendría un paquete de patatas fritas con mi cerveza. No estoy preparado para pagar 1. 89 por un paquete de patatas fritas. Muy insatisfecho.

Par de pintas rápidas en una tarde de lunes a viernes. Lo suficientemente acogedor Las tablas podrían hacer con ser borrado más a menudo. Suficientemente decente para una bebida rápida.

No ha cambiado en años, todavía tiene mesas pegajosas y un ambiente sórdido. Servicio de robótica. La música procedente de una radio de transistores. Esto podría ser una mina de oro si alguien invirtiera en ella, una estación ocupada merece algo mejor.

Cálido pero un poco lúgubre, este bar tiene una gran selección de cervezas, buena comida y un abrevadero adecuado para el viajero sediento.

Popped in on the way back from Twickenham. The appearance of the bar and seating area are quite pleasant. To a country boy like me; the prices seemed quite shocking, approx. £6 a pint and around £12.50 for a burger depending on which version chosen. The service was quite slow, and not very friendly, but to be fair they had train loads of Rugby fans passing through at the time.

We used to frequent this bar a lot and it was always crowded. It's gone downhill so fast. Last time I went a couple of weeks ago it was closing at a ludicrously early time. Tonight no pump beers and the toilets were out of action (I assume the passcode locks had been rumbled). Hardly anyone in on a Friday. £10.99 for a glass of mediocre wine was the cherry on the cake

Went in on Cup Final / Royal Wedding Day but found only 2 staff behind the bar and I think it was the bloke's first day as he wasn't sure how to use the Card Machine properly and had to be helped out by the young lady. She seemed to be an expert in finding things to do behind the Bar without actually serving anyone. A few people walked out without a drink. We had one and left although we had intended to be there for a couple of hours at least as we were all meeting up there.

Popped in for a glass of wine as I had a 30 min wait for my train. I waited about 5 mins as both staff were serving. Along cane ‘Ms customer service of the year’. She barked at me asking who was next. Know your bar and if you do you should know I was the only one waiting for a while. Then I had ‘what do you want’ followed by a grunt, no smile and her stomping off. I joked with the customer next to me that she may come back with a smile. She slammed my drink on the counter and continued her wonderful charm offensive-there was no thank you for payment-just a card machine shoved towards me, no smile…nothing but a face like thunder. Now, if you hate your job that much, get another. Having worked in bars for many years she’d def not be employed by me. I dare say the pub doesn’t care as it’s passing trade but next time I’ll go elsewhere. I’d advise her to do the same as she’s got the people skills of a nat.

The staff member behind the bar was so unfriendly and rude to all customers that it really made us feel uncomfortable as soon as we arrived. Then my drink was served in a cracked glass around the rim and I nearly cut my mouth. The toilets were disgusting and the place was a mess. We drank our drinks quickly and escaped.

This place is good for a quick beer if you are visiting Waterloo. The ales are interesting and do change. Ideal to fill a gap before the next train ;)

Three of us stopped in here on our way up to watch Arsenal at the Emirates. We fancied a pint and lunch and all opted for the all day breakfast. This was an excellent choice and we all tucked in and really enjoyed the food. The place was not too busy at the time and we were served drinks and food very promptly. The bar can be found in he far south corner of Waterloo station down a flight of stairs. Not sure how good it would be for wheelchair access? Nice atmosphere and friendly efficient staff. Certainly worth a try if you have to wait for a train.

went in thursday night ,heineken and peroni £10 which is actually cheaper than some bars in the area.No sign of plastic glasses and the barman who is normally on is very good prompting any other barstaff to serve if he notices anyone waiting.was easy to order and quick especially for a station pub.as its a pub not a restaurant i have no idea about food quality.

I know it’s slow at Waterloo station on a Sunday but they had last orders at 7pm ! Yes it’s the first week of January but there was at least 30 people inside

Terrible service, over charged for my pint by 65p. When I challenged the price with the miserable bar person they eventually relented and refunded what they owed me. After all that it was a rubbish pint and a short measure. Next time I'll stick to the Hole in the Wall outside the station.

Pint of Peroni in a plastic glass served by moody staff for £6 You have to be desperate to come here !!!

Don't Go, not got ANY expectations from a train station pub anywhere but £12 for x2 drinks even for London a bit much and the toilets are the worst I have ever experienced - too top it all Plastic Glasses......

Mientras que para la formación, después de pasar un día en el Centro de Diseño de negocios, Islington, unos amigos de la universidad y estuve un rato, mientras espera por el tren a casa. Yo, que tenía una dieta coque.

He estado en este pub s par de veces y es un lugar donde no se puede conseguir Wifi, la cerveza sabe asqueroso en ambas visitas ha sido horrible, yo, personalmente, creo que no se necesita un buen apretón. Está en el sótano, cerca de...

Un lugar estupendo para llamar cuando esperando un tren. Variedades bebida son buenos y los precios son muy razonables. El personal y el servicio son buenas y las instalaciones están bien cuidadas. Lo recomiendo si buscas un lugar para detenerse por un rato o pasando...

Fui hoy para rápido pinta esperando el tren, fui al pub real fuera de la estación. £4: 70 para que me enviaran directamente pinta para el inodoro después. Señal bombas sucias. instantánea Poco moscas por todas partes especialmente el inodoro, era toneladas de ellos. Personal...

Pooped aquí para una bebida con un amigo después de un concierto, estábamos tomando los trenes de Waterloo. Elección pobre de cerveza a precios muy apetitosos eye - 5 libras. 25 por una pinta de Fullers London Pride. La cerveza estaba bien, aunque corto medido. Sólo ir aquí si es mi advive stuck

Era pasar el fin de semana en Londres desde el sur mi amigo estaba viajando desde el norte, así que nos encontramos en la cerveza de la casa. Situado en la estación de Waterloo Precios excelente y amable personal comida también era bueno.

Great pub for a quick drink whilst waiting for a train. Quite small so not always possible to get a seat but staff really friendly, good price and nice atmosphere.

Decided to eat here today12/12/16 and paid £9.45 for fish, chips and mushy peas. When they finally brought me the correct food (the bartender misheard fish as gammon apparently) the portion was tiny, the "fish" was mostly batter and the peas were scalding hot.Normally with fish I'm afraid of finding bones, today I would have liked to find some fish!! Not impressed at all. Absolute ripoff.

I stopped at the beer house today for a quick beer.It was quiet, away from the crowds of the station.Ideal for a quick beer before my train.

Place is quite hidden in a big station but need to say that service was great and friendly! Good beer choices!

All the nicer bars/restaurants were packed on a hot evening. So not by choice called in here for a quick drink as we had some time until our train was due. I was surprised it was quite ok for a drink, you could have been in any London pub. Available seats & even though we were at rush hour all seemed clean & tidy (including rest rooms) Some of the more negative reviews need a reality check, as this is after all just a pub at one of the UK's busiest railway stations.

This pub within Waterloo train station is the ideal place to wait for your train away from the hustle and bustle. It had a surprisingly good atmosphere. We enjoyed our pint and glass of wine and found the staff to be friendly. Will definitely use it again.

Stopped in here to meet a friend as we were staying in London and it was a good and easy meeting point. Had a couple pints of some decent English beer and some good priced appies as well. Recommend this place if you're in the station and need a pint or some food.

Stopped here for a drink before heading home after a couple of days in London. But god £9;50 for a glass of wine we felt ripped off. would not go here again ever sorry i felt the place is abusing the clientele

Dear Miss Afternoon Chef, isn't there something very wrong with the picture? Was absolutely shocked when you served that tiny little fish to me. Seriously need to evaluate how you would like to treat your customers. If you don't want to sell food in the bar, just don't bother.

nice enough - good pub food - and has the screens so you can see train times which is helpfull as it is underground. and the prices are fine.

Food is average, but it's a great place to have a pint whilst waiting for a train. Good selection of beers available, and all reasonably priced.

I pass through London Waterloo most weeks and always stop here if I have time. It is a very well situated underground pub just by the taxi rank and the cash points. There's a long bar serving a fantastic range of lagers and beers, which change weekly. The food is good old fashioned pub food - burgers for lunch, full English for breakfast, that type of thing. But the food is good - really good. And served quickly. With screens around telling you about the train times and platforms, where else would you rather be for that half hour before your train leaves?!

went here to with friends before catching our train, service was good and so was the drinks. only thing I would say is to have outdoor seating on the station lobby to keep an eye on train times as we nearly missed our train. otherwise it was good.

After a long day with a large group of friend we were trying to find somewhere to eat that would catter for 15 people in London on a saturday night without having to book. So we finally found Beer House at Waterloo. My food was ok (it was a buger and chips something that is very difficult to get wrong) however I had expressed for it not to have any tomoto's in it, and when the server brought my food out he actually said Buger and chips with no tomato's and as the food was put down from the side of it I could see 3 large slices of tomato in it. After pointing this out to him he took it away and them came back with the tomoatos gone. The food it self wouldn't have won any awards but it filled a space as a I hadn't eatten all day it did it's job. However other within out paarty had asked for some chicken side dishes only to find out that onces they had started eatting that the chicken was pink (under cooked) and asked to have another that was propperly cooked, sadly one of our party then spent half the night reliving this mistake.

We popped in here for a swift half before our train. The stench from the gents' loo was eye-watering and there was a slightly sloshed man having a pee in the ladies' loo.Characterful!The beer was ok. We didn't order food.

Nothing Special. Menu interesting but not varied enough. Draught Beers expensive.Not prepared to alter details on dishes on menu (e.g. green peas for mushy peas !)Good free internet availabilityOK as a convenient meeting place for thirsty, wealthy, hi tec commuters who have just missed their train or have nothing better to do than play with their I pads

Popped in there while waiting for my train. Decent choice of ales, reasonably priced for London, especially inside the station like Waterloo. Friendly and fast service from a tall gentleman with curly black hair. And I noticed they do food as well which is a bonus.

We came in here for a quick drink while we were waiting for our train. It was great to see a departures screen, so there was no need to rush out to the platform, as you can see what was happening.The bar staff were friendly and professional. The shock were the gents toilets. The smell was horrific as you walk in, but to see excrement on the floor of one cubicle, and excrement on the door of the other, I'd say only use them if you are desperate!

Stopped here for pre and post dinner drinks with friends, as it was convenient for those arriving by train or tube. Credit card machine out of order, not a single decent whisky available and the place reeked of urine. The bathrooms could definitely do with a thorough cleaning.

Un casi autentico pub londinense, a precias accesibles, muy bien ubicado en la estacion Waterloo. Almorzamos alli un dia lluvioso luego de visitar el Museo Imperial de Guerra.

Needed a quick meal before catching the train home. The meals arrived quite quickly, The burger was tasty, plenty of relish and mayonnaise. The fish and Chips was also tasty - certainly better than anything we had eaten at the ExCeL center that day.

Gives the impression on all the apps that they are open to midnight and when you drop in at 11.47pm for a quick pint it's "oh no we close at 12 but last orders is 11.45" Obviously they think their customers are idiots

This evening I stopped in at the Beer House for a couple of drinks with my cousin to catch up before getting our respective trains home. Before leaving we tried to use the gents (imperative before a long train journey home) but found the male facilities were out of order due to flooding. At that moment a waiter passed us. I mentioned to him that as a piece of customer feedback, they should resolve the issue asap as they are legally obliged to provide facilities to their customers (as a restaurant offering sit-in facilities). The immediate response received was as follows: "If I owned the place I would care, but I only work here so I don't.". Upon my shock at this response I asked for his name in order to provide feedback, at which he told me "Bishoy", but then refused to give me his surname unless I gave him my name and that he would be contacting me if I made a complaint (in a somewhat threatening tone). I will never return to this establishment. Totally gobsmacked!

As a beer /ale drinker I recommend this establishment'. Reasonable prices, a must visit .Liked the assortment.

The Rest of this Pub I have marked as average as it is a standard Pub, although it is Central London prices as one would expect in a London Mainline Train Station/Terminus.The Gents toilets unfortunately is another matter as they smelt extremely bad and obviously had not been checked regularly as this awful smell of urine would one would have hoped, been noticed and rectified.This would put most people off from eating here and even drinking in this establishment.If you visit then check these first.

Got off an underground train after a day of touring the London area. Noticed it was raining and decided to wait the rain out while enjoying a beer and some snacks. about 10 pounds for two beers and another 10 pounds for 3 small plates (mini burgers (2), mini fish and chips (2 fish and small fries) and an order of cheese/garlic bread balls). Beers were good too. There was some good people watching as a bonus as you catch a variety of people coming through the train station. Not a far walk to/from the Eye and other tourist areas around the area.

Like many people, I had time to kill at Waterloo station. Many of the food and beverage outlets appeared full, I came across the Beer House close to the Jubilee Line exit. You go down some stairs and there it is. It was half empty, which concerned me as everywhere else was full. My concerns were unnecessary - it's just not to easy to find.I had a full English breakfast for 3.99, coffee, orange juice and a pint and it still came to under a tenner! Breakfast was good as was the beer. You can also get free wifi. Strange system if you need to use the toilet, you have to ask the barman for the code to get in.

Polite stuff and delicious pub-food.You can use the free WLAN when you download a special app. The prices are normal. Perfect place for spending time when you must wait for your train.

£7.70 for a half of London Pride and a small can of Punk IPA?This is clearly an unreasonable amount to charge, for these two beers.London Pride = £2.55Punk IPA = £5.15

Thought I would try this place out for food while waiting for train home as just back from holiday and no food at home. What a mistake that was, would have had better food if I had eaten a beer mat. Ordered the fish and chips and when it turned the batter was all burnt and solid and the fish inside was so dry it crumbled. Complained to the barman who looked at me like I was an alien and eventually got the manager who also looked equally bemused by a complaint about the quality but did offer to replace it. So there I sat again waiting for food, but not long this time as the replacement food turned within a few minutes and this time not burnt to a crisp. Instead it was quite the opposite, greasy, not cooked properly and just as inedible. Is this just a cook (with that quality of food even being a cook is too much of a compliment for him/her) having a bad day or was it deliberate. My thoughts are on deliberate as I saw the manager and barman looking over and laughing. At that point I was faced with a dilemma, take the food back a second time and see what they could possibly have done or leave for my train which was leaving in 5 minutes. I decided on the latter and despite still being hungry it was by far the best decision. My advice to anyone thinking of eating there is instead of walking down the stairs go up the escalators and you will get food worth paying for or just go home but do not visit this place.

we called in here for a quick lunch between trains. They do a 3 small snacks for £10 so we made our selection and had a pint waiting for them to arrive. The meals arrived quickly and were quite nice. My only fault was the place was very warm and after a while it became uncomfortable so we left before we needed to to catch our train.

As I'm always coming into waterloo whenever I'm in London, I stop off for a pint or two here before carrying on to where ever I'm going. It can get packed during rush hour but that's to be expected. Also, I've been in on some Saturday's before where I've had to use a plastic cup which is never fun. However, it's still a nice bar and if you have a bite card you get 20% off food and drink which is a win....

Waiting a while for a train? There's minimal seating in Waterloo station and a charge to use the toilets, so I'd suggest going to the Beer House in the station (by the Jubilee Line/Waterloo Road exit) and grabbing a drink and making use of the loo before the train back.As you'd expect, there's a very extensive list of beers on offer and soft drinks, wine and cocktails.It's nothing life-changing but it's a good place to wait for your train or a great meeting place - though be warned, there's very little phone signal here.

As station boozers go it's not bad really.Good selection of ales, friendly staff - and delicious mulled cider.Not many places in London where you can have a decent fry-up for £3.99 but this is one.It'll do

Stopped for lunch and ordered Ham eggs and chips good portion but would have been nice if the ham had be off the bone appeared it had come out of a packet. Saying that it cost £12.20 with a pint of real ale which was decent. Service was quick and the place was not too packed. A definete alternative to one of the fast food chains at the station.

My train was delayed by almost an hour. During the wait, I decided to stop here for a drink.Whilst you will lose sight of the main boards on the station terminal, there is a train times screen in the bar so you can keep an eye on the departures - very useful.The bar is well stocked and has a great selection of beers, ales, lagers, and ciders on tap.I haven't eaten here but I am tempted to the next time I'm waiting for a train at Waterloo.

I always thought that this was an ideal place to have a quick one before catching a train home.My experience today should be noted by all intending to visit . I ordered a glass of wine which was fine but the member of staff,in her rush smashed glasses in the dishwasher and was cleared up by a colleague. I decided to have home made Steak and Abbott pie. Big mistake. The meat was very gristly, pastry under cooked gravy watery and mushy peas disgusting. I mention it to the waitress who said she would tell the chef. No apolgy given.The visit to the loo was not a good experience. It smelt terrible and the hand drier blew cold air. The maintenance sheet had been completed about an hour before. I can only assume the person who inspected had a problem with smell.Will never go there again.

Grande assortimento di birre anche in una stazione. Questo è quello che fa la differenza in Inghilterra!

I frequent this Public House whenever I use Waterloo Station, either to go to Twickenham or Wembley. This Sunday my Brother in law and I met at Sunday Lunch time. I have always found the staff friendly and helpful. The food is ok. The place is always buzzing. The beer is always to a good standard, and for the real ale fan they have guest ales. It is what it is, a place to meet have a few drinks, something to eat and away. I will continue to use this place.

I found the beer house when hunting for an alternative to station loos (turns out that they have free ones!) and now am a semi regular. It's a great place to stop off on the way home and tends to be reasonably quiet.

After being served a quality real ale, albeit in a plastic beaker, the rest of my experience here was not good. The manager and a member of his team took it on himself to throw things around the bar, I was actually hit by one of these projectiles, this type of horse play is not safe in a public area especially as plastic glasses are required because of "Hooligans from the Rugby and Ascot!, really. The toilets were disgusting when pointed out a staff member went to clean these after which shewent directly behind the bar and served an unsuspecting customer.This could a great watering hole after or before a journey. Don't waste your time go to the Railway over the road from the station.

We popped in after our train arrived at waterloo. The manager was throwing things at his staff and one hit my husband he came over to "apologise" which seemed to involve ranting at us. he seemed to think it was ok for him to be throwing stuff around as he did not intend to hit the customers. Given the state of the womens toilets and the general cleanliness I suggested it would be more appropriate for him to get the staff to keep the place clean. I was subjected to a further rant about how stressful his job was. He then flounced off not to be seen again.

popped in here before getting on a train for a stag do. Found the staff incredibly helpful, the range of beers good and the prices not bad given the location. A nive little bar and far better than the bars usually found at train stations.

Beers all of great value and flavour. Lovely staff and wifi as well as a loo that is free in the station. Enjoy their choice of foods as well, really good!

Never is the term 'watering hole' more appropriately applied to an English pub. This is the perfect spot for observing a clustered grouping of London's migratory animals and patterns. This Waterloo based water hole is a magnet for all types of species looking to refuel and gather energy before the long migration to Surbiton, Guildford or Woking. See London's finest in their natural habitat doing what they do best, whether that be enjoying a drink with friends or just themselves, making amorous advances at random strangers you'll find a wide variety of mating displays, plumage and behaviour here. Stockbrokers, builders, lunatics and lawyers can all be found shoulder to shoulder necking a 'quick one' before almost missing the 18:52 in this bastion of last chance saloons.Observe from the safety of the bar or join right in, everyone's welcome, it's not just a spectator sport. With an impressive selection of world beers on offer, feel free to join in and become a statistic. The food is workman-like but tasty and good value allowing avoidance of the classic English tradition\downfall of "10 pints, no Tea".

This is okay for a beer while waiting for your train, good range of beers and the Old Speckled Hen is excellent, not unreasonable prices, try it.

I was expecting a cosy beer hall / cellar type place, of the kind you might find in germany / czech / slovakia etc etc.But no, its the usual kind of sub-standard London establishment pretending to be something its not.Bad lighting, awful irritating music and over-priced drinks. Not a great selection of beer.

a very nice pub serving good food and a range of ales. A nice intimate feel too in a location tucked away at the end of the concourse at Waterloo stn!!

Catching a morning train to Exeter at 10.20, arrived early at Waterloo. Having time to spare - looked for breakfast oportunities - my old cafe had disappeared in the regeneration of the station, so chanced to see if the Beer House provided breakfast - I struck gold. This has to be amongst the best value breakfasts in London, varying on your apetite, there is everything to suit from eggs on toast at £2.95 to the ultimate breakfast at £8.25. I consider myself a bit of a trencherman, but this almost defeated me. it was huge, excellent coffee and with lashings of toast as well included in the price. The staff were polite, the service was good, I wasn't looking for great surroundings or beer - although one of the other diners was washing his porridge down with a pint of lager - so my expectations were moderate but well exceeded - and there was plenty of space.Next time I'm travelling to Waterloo in the morning, will make time for breakfast again rather than the indifferent muffin and starbucks on the train.

This is part of a chain which has appered at other mainline London stations. I was dissapointed because the real ales were few and moribund (Greene King). I was looking forward to trying a few craft beers, but there was not a very good Lambic, German or Czech range and the prices were far too high. Rather obviously though, it is at least handy for the station.

Had. couple of beers and a meal whist waiting for a train. There is a wide selection of beers available and a reasonable menu. The food was adequate and reasonably priced but probably of the pre cooked microwave variety. But at least it was hot and edible

Great selection of beers here. I had a chili beer which was interesting to say the least. A lot bigger than the small stairs entrance would give accross. Nothing else really here to distinguish it from every other english pub.
