Beer Merchants Tap in Hackney

Dream place. If you like beer, if you want to chat on a relaxed environment, great cheeses and dry meats, great service. Can we please get lots of these everywhere in the world

My new favourite pub. Music 5/5, staff 5/5, snacks 5/5, atmosphere 5/5.

Nice draft beer, only one who have Whiplash beer from Ireland, thats why I came here.

Vine aquí con unos amigos a tomar algo a la hora del almuerzo. Probé un par de sus cervezas artesanales, un IPA afrutado y una interesante cerveza negra. Ambos fueron muy buenos.

Great beer selection on tap or in the fridges. If you adore craft beer or just fancy a drink it’s a great place to go to. One of the must go to spots if you are into craft beer. Has food too, one truck outside and snacks inside.

Excellent selection of beers but pricey

Absolutely fab beer selection. Great staff

Always enjoy the range and atmosphere here

Nice selection of mostly Belgian beers. Toilets - disaster.

Great selection of foreign beers bottled and draught recommend 👌

Like the ambiance and friendly staff with good selection of beers

Such an awesome range of top class beers, never unhappy after a visit here

Fantastic selection of beers and they collaborated with the pizza place next door so you can get some food if the burger van is shut or your not up for meats and cheeses

Fantastic selection of beer, friendly staff.

PLEASE add more animal-friendly (vegan) option to the menu. 🙏 Fantastic selection of beers though (available for take away or drink in). Huge bonus is that they have a bike rack on-site! Such an essential feature for those of us who cycle, as we can enjoy the drink while keeping an eye on our beloved bikes. Dogs (our furry friends) are welcome here too.

Very good place so many beers lagers etc to choose from Very busy good atmosphere

I don't drink beer but wish I did as their selection looks awesome. Nice outside space, especially of you've got a big group. Staff are nice.

Appallingly rude customer service which is such a shame as the beer and atmosphere is great. One member of staff needs some serious customer service training! All 5 of us were amazed at their comment and it put us off staying for more drinks. And I work in hospitality so I understand the stresses and challenges.

One of my favorite places in London. All sorts of beer and very specific brands. Great service and atmosphere. The beer prices are also very fair

Great selection of beers here. If you are a beer person and you find yourself in Stratford this is the place to come.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Even better beer! Definitely recommend!

So many choices, so many flavours. The bar tenders are knowledgeable & friendly. Great venue for chilling

Outstanding beers of every kind and lovely staff, but sadly (many years on) still very much an anti planet'n'animals (vegan) when it involves food 😭

Very good experience Calm and friendly Lots of draft and can beers We were able to taste a good French Comté

Brilliant bar with great staff! Highly recommend.

Terrible customer service. They tried to kick us off a table at 6pm because it was booked for 7pm. The reservation sign on the table literally said "booked at 7pm, feel free to use the table until then", so we got in a big (and incidentally, extremely overpriced) round of drinks and sat down and were basically immediately told to leave. When we explained we were only intending on staying until 7 anyway we were met with hostility and rudeness from the staff, when we asked to speak to the manager we found out that we already were. The other customer who had booked the spot then joined in, he was aggressive and sexist towards my partner, and this was completely condoned by the manager who just stood there watching as if we had done something really wrong. Extremely disappointing experience.

Nice specialty beer in the area

Unbelievable beer selection and nice cold food selection

Absolutely top notch bottle and keg masterpiece with a very decent Verdant cask thrown in. Had a Hudson Valley sour and an Omnipollo Imperial Stout, both very special.

What an amazing selection of beers from many different countries. Considering its position in London, I thought their prices were quite good. There is a large seating area both indoors and outside.

Wonderful choice of beers. Only issue is they often serve the beers in plastic cups. If they served their fantastic beers in glasses this place would be a five star venue.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great sounds. Worth a visit.

Really nice bar lots of space, and Really good selection of craft beers on draft and can. Helpful bar staff too

Great bottle shop and bar just outside Hackney Wick station.

Such a huge selection of craft beers from across the world

Great choice of beer, on site food was lovely. Service a bit hit and miss.

Great range of beers. Busy, as it was a matchday at West Ham, but got served quite quickly. Plenty of seating.

Great beer selection, unreal burgers as well.

The best bar in Hackney Wick! Outstanding range of draft beers available, while the extensive selection of UK and international bottles and cans in the fridges can't be beaten! But please get some Altbier 😁 Burgers from stall outside are lovely too. Highly recommended

Very good selection of beers and wine staff were excellent and helpful

Cant recommend this place high enough. The beer is fantastic and a huge variety to choose from. Food is excellent but it's important to book as this place is extremely popular.

Just spent £6.90 on a THIRD of beer, and it came in a plastic glass! They should really warn customers that it is only plastic glasses on match days.

Great beer selection, especially when you include the fridges! It was a west ham game day when I was here and still no problem getting served.

Craft beers on point here. Tight food truck out the back with smash burgers to die for. Great spot before a spot of West Ham. Craft beers are varied (German, Belgian etc) with a nice hipster vibe to boot.

If you are a beer tourist and in London the Beer Merchant is on the list for must visits. Great selection of Uk craft beers on draft and in cans and bottles. Also features the best of beers from around the world. Cannot make it to Belgium? You will not find a better collection of the best beers from Brussels and beyond. The walls are lined with coolers of beers you can drink in or take away. The staff are both friendly and know their stuff! Plenty of space inside and out and with a three minute walk you can visit several other good breweries. Put this one on your list!

Best beer in East London. Has really good burgers , and nice staff.

Really nice place for a draft beer. For the one who doesn't like local craft beer there's a lot of bottles to choose from, even Belgian Trappist beers. Will definitely come back!

Huge tap list, fantastic beer garden and fab pizzas available down the road which they're happy for you to eat there. Really lovely way to spend an afternoon/ evening!!

Great vibe and selection of beers

Absolutely brilliant place to taste many different types of beer with friendly helpful staff.

They have bottled beer from all over the world that you select yourself. There are loads of sits.

Bad experience with the bar maid tonight. Very rude.

Popped in Thursday afternoon with my wife and toddler, had a great time! Toddler enjoyed playing with sticks on the foosball table (to short to see inside) plenty of choices, came in as they 3 of the Untappd year end badges I needed, highly recommend

Where to start with the Beer Merchants Tap, or as it is more affectionately known , the BMT. This spacious and industrial styled establishment gives a cheerful nod to Europe with its Beer Keller tables and assortment of Belgium beers. This is a popular place amongst newly appointed Directors, who come here to celebrate their good works with the smoothest of stouts. Convivial conversation and an orchestra of taste can be expected in this special space. I would definitely come again.

Awesome beer selection. Bar tender super knowledgeable and helpful. Going to go back when have more time.

Huge selection of beers, international and domestic, craft and otherwise. German lagers are a strong point as well as Belgian beers and all the craft. Nice outdoors with a semi permanent food truck/stall now serving burgers.

Great beer with a good selection.

Great Taproom in Hackney Wick with ample homemade offer. Also, great selection of Belgian and overseas beers (in bottle).

Good collection of craft beers and good customer service

Great pubs with loads of beers both on tap and in the fridge. Basic but good food options. Great in the summer with an outside area, but always worth a visit if in the area.

A very welcoming bar with a massive selection of wines, beers larger. And we love the pink elephant Delerium glasses! (And alcohol)

Absolutely a superb pub with a vast amount of beer's. Friendly staff and great food. What more do you want? A Pink Elephant. 🐘

Nice atmosphere, laid back with many different beers on tap and many others bottled. There is a nice burger stand in the beer garden. Screens available for sporting events. Great pub, I just prefer my spirits nowadays

Good beer, good snacks, good advice, good folk! What more do you need? End-Sep2023 update: We had planned to go to St Albans Beer Festival but train overtime bans and recent COVID strikes left us making our own Festival closer to home. It's a shame you can't leave a gratuity when clearing down your tab - the hospitality gets better and better. Visit during the upcoming Oktoberfest shenanigans for a guaranteed good time. 🍻👌🏽

Great place to meet friends,and allways great choice of beers.myself and Dave from Chicago enjoyed our visit.👍🍺

A great place !. Excellent selection of craft beer . Good service and like most places around that area very lively !.

Incredible selection of beers of all varieties. From the vast array of fresh keg beers on tap (must have been 20+) to the numerous beer fridges, selling everything the discerning beer drinker would want from lambics to impy strouts.

Amazing staff and just general lovely vibe here. Great choice of beer, the strawberry beer was one of the best I’ve had. Can’t wait to come back!

Really nice space to stop, try something different and orientate your next destination.

Classy boozer , burger shop outside is fantastic too.

A great find this was, went here for a mate's birthday one afternoon, enjoyed the beers and the atmosphere

What a great venue to visit if you love real ale, the choice is great and the staff are all really friendly and helpful offering tasters to try. It’s located in the brewery itself adjacent to an industrial and housing area. It has large indoor and outdoor seating areas with mainly bench like seating. Very popular with the locals which is always a good sign.

Great taproom with a wonderful selection of beers. I tried all of the Trillium, Widowmaker, and Burlington beers available on tap, and all were outstanding. As soon as I walked in, I thought, WoW!!! This is my kind of place and somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while. It didn't disappoint. Buzzing atmosphere of peeps enjoying their beautiful beers. Great layout, and I highly recommend a visit. Believe me, if you love craft beers pop along, you'll be back for more... I know I will 😉 🍺

Didn't have any food but amazing selection of beers

Big place with lots out outdoor seating. Dog friendly as well. The food truck outside is banging.

A very impressive tap list and some great options in the fridges. Some of the highest prices I’ve seen for craft beer though and yes I understand the costs but it’s still the highest I’ve seen throughout my journey. I recommend to come here.

Didn't eat, so I am not going to comment as that would be unfair.

Started here for the night and had nice outside area to catch up for the pre night chit chat. Closed at 11:00 so moved on afterwards. Has some food from the little hut outside which was basic but enjoyable and needed.

Great selection and lovely staff. Sooooo many beers!

Great bar, mind-blowing choice of beer

Great selection of draught and bottled beers.

Always a great selection of drinks

Love this place. Great beer and service. Nice vibe too indoor and outside

Very good selection of beers in here. Staff have good knowledge. The staff are friendly. The food looks good. I’d recommend it here.

We went here for a meetup with people from Facebook because of The London Series, which was fairly close. Microbrewery, lots of room Tons of BEER 🍻 I didn't have one, but I noticed that they were selling 10 pound burgers, that seems to be the cheapest around. Great time

Amazing Belgian beer place in hackney Wick. Does takeaway. Friendly staff.

Cool place with a ton of beers to choose from.

Smokey eyed northern will make me squirm for a pint any day, Scott Chegg I think his name is

Found this little gem while walking to the Copperbox arena. Spoilt for choice of craft beers on tap and fridges full of bottled beers and cider. Had a cheese board and it was divine. If you are in the area its a must. Well done!!!

Great pub. Good beer selection, great staff and good atmosphere.

Likely friendly beer house in converted warehouse? Only had couple of beers but food available, looked good

Great atmosphere. Amazing selection of beers and fair prices. Also the kiosk with burgers is amazing.

Amazing selection, friendly staff.

Very very very good. Great beer!

One of the best beer bars in London. Fun setting, great range of beers and always has a great atmosphere.

Great venue with an extensive selection of tap and bottled beers.

Good selection at decent prices! Staff are always warm And will give you suggestions if you ask :)

Poor bar that makes it feel like you're an inconvenience for buying a beer there. Has gone significantly downhill in the last 12 months. One to avoid Very focused on football and zero focus on locals Entered at 22:23 and the greeting was 'its final orders so order quickly' Fast becoming the worst bar in Hackney wick.

Such a variety of different Beers and Cider. Nice place to try for sure

Cute vibe, nice toilets, but very bad negroni....
