Garden City Brewery in North Hertfordshire

Lovely to find them open on a Sunday. Great choice and friendly staff. Stayed for a couple, could so easily have been more! Seating outside and in. Live music on some nights, friendly staff. parking close and free after 6pm. Good choice from all over the world.

Just moved into the area I was walking around to see what's nearby, didn't know the garden city brewery was closed as there was a few people sitting outside eating, the pub door was unlocked so went to go toilet and was going to get a drink after, suddenly the toilet doors opened as I was washing my hands, a very rude member of staff guy with long hair said we are closed, I said I didn't know you were closed I'm really sorry, then he said you should of read the times on the door then said get out! I will never step foot in this pub again after being talked to like that! If this guy needs to learn how to treat people with respect avoid!!

A great pub and brewery that makes the Wynd great! The big selling point is the varied beers they brew themselves but they also have other great local beers available. Pints are priced close to £5 making it an affordable night out. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they were very accommodating when I hosted my birthday drinks here for about 20 people.

There isn’t much in the way of food here, but the pork pies are high quality and quite enjoyable! The main drawback is the limited opening days, which makes it a bit tricky to plan visits. Hopefully, they’ll consider extending their hours in the future.

Our favourite pub, so review is biased. But it is our favourite for a reason! Staff are super friendly, and are keen to look after you. They keep the bar moving quickly and the whole place clean and inviting. Drinks on offer rotate weekly, always offering a selection that will suit most tastes. Bar snacks are always available and sometimes complemented with fresh samosa and sausage rolls. If you want to bring your own food, you are welcome to eat it outside in the covered area. Live music events, cider and cheese festivals, and more take place here, adding to a great community feel.

Good pub with home made beer. Very calm and calm. Craft beers and therefore very particular. I've tried a couple and find them very fruity for my taste.

Always a joy. What pubs used to be and should be. Their events are always fun and personally recommend the house Banjax.

Love this place! Very family friendly if you want a drink and great selection of beers! Food on offer is basic such as crisps but I'd highly recommend their home bakes sausage rolls or samosas!

Friendly bar staff and accommodating of additional ingredient checking. Thank you kindly.

Traditional place to have a beer. Unfortunately, many patrons smoke in the pergola, so if you don’t like it, this may not be your place. Also, the tables are not cleaned as regular as they require, so they are often sticky

Just the place for a chilled evening with friends or a sunny afternoon. Excellent choice of hand brewed ales. Take home an Old Git today! Dogs welcome

Great selection of real ales 😄👍

Always friendly. Beer wasn't brilliant IMHO, but could just be about my tastes.

Superb place What a pub should be. I'll be back!

We love the brewery. Great selection of house-brewed and other beers, plus wines, gins etc. always friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Why can't ppl with barking dogs keep them outside Very nice place good selection of beers Now using plastic glasses no longer so good

Great place to socialise. Lots of choice from behind the bar. Pulp fiction cider highly recommended.

Terrific little brewery, that's achieved great things since it opened a few years back. Always a good selection of ales brewed on the premises, plus some interesting guest ales and a range of ciders. Indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff, quiet location in the town centre. Recommended.

Lovely microbrewery with a good selection of beers pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. Food it off of words relatively basic with what I thought we're really overpriced and overrated hot dogs.

It was a buzzy pleasant place. A bit noisy and uncomfortable seats

What a fantastic place to have a pint in the sun. Great selection of beers and a great value aperol spritz if beer isn't your thing!

My most favourite place for a quality beer, the best atmosphere and such friendly staff, every single one of them. In the nicest way and no thrills place that you unexpectedly have just the most chilled time with an amazing customer base of lovely people all just wanting a nice relaxed time. The beer is top quality and always a great selection of own brewery ales along with a fine selection of guest beers as well. 10/10 GCB 👍

We love it here, always visit when I come to Letchworth.

Astonishly good beer, served in a warm, inclusive environment in a hidden sidestreet. Staff are sweet, friendly and helpful. Did I remember to say how good the beer is? Straight from the barrel, as it should be everywhere. My only criticism is that they always run out of the samosas, which, if you are lucky enough to get one/two/three... are excellent, and a perfect accompaniment to possibly the best real beer in the UK. Don't visit if you object to beer and friendliness!

Great and relaxing space! Live music on weekends, nice outdoor seating and tasty drinks. The ciders live up and exceed the expectations. We will definitely return

Great beers, amazing place. Too bad it's tiny, dark and doesn't serve food. I'd love to spend more time here.

Really looking forward to visiting the Garden Brewery. Liked the the look of the various ales and unusual seating. Approached the bar only to be greeted with a sign stating, Card Only. No Compromise ,no card no drink. Only having cash, we beat a hasty retreat to somewhere that would take cash. Such a shame. Well done if you can afford to turn away four thirsty drinkers looking for an afternoons leisurely session.

Best watering hole in Letchworth. Great range of real ales and ciders

This was a discovery and a half ! Super beer , great service and an chilled atmosphere.. highly recommend a visit..

Super cute brewery, great range of beers and nice staff

Super friendly micropub with a great selection and guest ales. There is a small playground opposite so it is popular with families during the day.

Laid back brewery bar. Shuts at 10pm.

Really nice place to come & chill & enjoy a brewed beer,owners & staff are really lovely & welcoming & are very dog friendly,that's a star within itself.& can't rate the food because I haven't tasted the nibbles yet,overall 5*'s

Love this spot, I drop in every time we visit family locally. Beer is great and the staff care so much about the place and the experience. Charming, local and lovely.

Staff are friendly, they have different flavoured ciders as well as other drinks.They had a Comedy gig on tonight which was fab. Shall def keep going to these Comedy gig nights x

I love having this brewery such a short walk away. The staff are so nice, let you taste anything you like from the menu before you commit to it, the place is so cute and homely, and the cider menu is varied and has something for everyone. My favourite place for a pint in LGC :)

Interesting brewery and bar. Good selection of beer. A bit utilitarian but well worth a visit

Great friendly place to have a drink 🍸

Great local brewery tap. Unlikely to set the brewing world on fire but acceptable ales.

The Best pub in LGC , great selection of drinks and excellent customer service , especially Michael.

The Best Pub in Letchworth, friendly hardworking staff, and owners!, with the addition of fantastic beer, and other refreshment. Has a continuous cycle of community events, which i seem to miss out on as only an occasional visitor from the big smoke forty/fifty miles away. Any chance of a branch opening in West London anytime soon.....please. Keep up the good work, and wishing all every success in continuing venture/adventure

Friendly staff and great atmosphere, great selection of various beverages, only second visit and will be back soon, excellent live music and events, highly recommended, pop in if you are passing by

There for a comedy event, nice beer, great evening out

As this place doesn’t open till 4.00pm on a Wednesday it was my last port of call for my lunchtime crawl of Letchworth and I came here from the towns nearby Wetherspoons. By the time I got to the Wetherspoons I was already feeling sorry for the residents of Britains first every Garden City, due to the very limited decent drinking opportunities in the town centre. And by the time I left I was virtually in despair for them. Fortunately a visit to this place gave me a bit of hope for them. Well made beers direct from the barrel and some decent guest options as well. For my visit the breweries Garden City Blonde and Bitter, Talus Pale and El Dorado IPA were on ( most at £4.20 a pint) and then Big Smoke Cosmic Dawn and Plateau Burning Sky were on as guest ales. There also seemed to be some sort of tie-up with Mad Squirrel at the moment as five of their beers were available in keg form. Then also a decent range of ciders from boxes behind the bar. This was the best venue I visited for ale choice in Letchworth and the fact that a jewellers shop conversion into a bottle shop and a microbrewery with limited opening hours are the best place for a pint tells you all you need to know about Letchworth.

Would rate higher if I could. If you appreciate a decent pint and enjoy trying something different then this is the place to go. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. More than happy to let you try what's on offer. Only downside is the place ain't big enough.

Great staff and atmosphere, so helpful and knowledgeable.

Delightful place with friendly staff and tasty beverages

Good beer, good atmosphere and a great bunch of bar people. The Samosas and cheese board are great. A good selection of Ciders. I think the owner(s) have done a great job to bring something different to Letchworth. 100% worth a try.

Great ales, fab place, nice people

Great place to sit and relax. Love thee atmosphere, and staff do an amazing job. 👏

Friendly local vibe and reasonable prices. Feels like a beer cafe, so nice to spend an afternoon sampling their limited editions!

Buzzing. Great beer. Good atmosphere. Noisy but great for a noisy fun night out.

We went for a brewery session night , performed on every last Wednesday on the month and it's absolutely awesome , so so recommend

Excellent place. Not doing food when we visited but the ciders were great. Will visit again when not driving.

Great Ales in this small brewery. Ciders, Guest Ales and Gins on offer too. Very nice sausage rolls from a local butchers available, but they can go fast. Every time I'm in Letchworth I pop in for a beer.

Micro brewery tao with all you would want and sausage rolls to

Fantastic! Warm, welcoming and great for a drink!

Cold and uncomfortable, picnic tables indoors

Great beer, feels like a proper pub. Lovely atmosphere created by people who care.

Really friendly staff, nice clean loos and excellent beer! 10/10

Nice environment including very pleasant outside space, and reasonable range of beers.

Excellent selection of own brewed and guest ales as usual and a lovely welcome. We especially enjoyed the Garden City Bitter. Molly Mild and Nelson (i think it was called!). Snacks are always good although unfortunately they had run out of the samosas :-( It was lovely sitting outside in the sunshine on an unseasonably warm October afternoon.

Fantastic service and great drinks, what more can I ask for?

I like pubs with areas that are different and suit whoever is visiting for that purpose at that time. This pin does that, although free if any of the seating is comfortable. However, the beer is excellent and the staff helpful and very friendly.

Excellent beer, good service, friendly staff. Dog-friendly, wheelchair accessible. Some good events periodically.

Nice little tap room with an undercover outside area and a range of beers (keg and cask) as pretty cheap prices. Service is a little slow but friendly

Great selection of well kept beers. Guest beers change weekly

Love Garden City Brewery! Great beer, lovely staff, awesome atmosphere. Try the G.R.O.G.

A fantastic place to meet up with friends and relax, great beers and cider. Don't drink all the Black Dragon, save some for me.

Always a lovely experience. Very friendly staff.

Always a warm and friendly welcome, plenty space both inside and out, a great range of their own ales and some guests, well priced for the area, and some very cute dogs.

Great beer. Good customer service

Excellent beer, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Defiantly recommend! Will definatly be our usual when in Letchworth 😄

Great beer, great service, what more does one want?

Personally not my style. I can understand the appeal of such a place but not me for unfortunately. Drinks were nice, service was acceptable. 3/5

Great atmosphere, very nice staff - always interesting to talk to, cheap compared to inflated prices of London

Fantastic service from friendly staff. So good to have a cider in the sunshine and hear other voices around us. Plenty of QR codes to scan, tables were cleaned between customers and it felt safe to be there.

Great, unique drinking experience. Excellent beers, lovely efficient staff, unpretentious location

Great selection of ciders and beers. The inside is cosy and you can even find some board games.

Nice place and I've enjoyed drinking here in the past. My problem this evening is that I was told they had no room inside- fully booked. Five minutes later a couple arrived, said they haven't booked and were offered an inside table. Not impressed with this.

Really excellent own beers full of flavour and very diverse. Friendly staff and quaint location.

No matter if it’s a quiet quick one with a friend or out all night for a big celebration, this is our favourite place to go! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great night, their COVID precautions make you feel safe and they always have a wonderful selection of drinks available. We love it!

Can’t recommend it highly enough. There is so much to try you are spoiled for choice. Very COVId aware so feel very safe

They serve Lilley's cider! Best place ever. The chocolate one is 🤤🤤🤤😍

Cracking beer, and great staff - top place all round.

Never fails to impress. Good beer, brewed on the premises. Nice atmosphere, prices are fair. An oasis in the desert that can be Letchworth... Sorry Letchworth

Absolutely brilliant. Great selection of drinks and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit. Will be going back

Holly and staff are fantastic- simply can’t do enough for their customers - thank you all so much for the fabulous welcome back to our favourite watering hole! 😁

Very cozy place inside and outside. Staff are attentive and friendly

Delighted it's back open again. Can't wait to have my first pint in there soon.

Great local beers! Take away during lockdown

Awesome place to drink great beer great atmosphere and great people

Great beers, good atmosphere, always a friendly face behind the bar.

Hidden gem in letchworth.. nice cosy dog friendly place

Great place, excellent beers and nice staff. Looking forward to coming back.

Cracking little micro pub with an excellent range despite the size limitations. Try to visit every time I'm in town! They also hold lots of cool little events and the staff are so lovely and accomodating!

A great selection of beers, an even better atmosphere. Dogs, children, boozers and those reading the Sunday supplements all coexisting peacefully together. Miss it at your peril

Lovely place, with lovely staff

Live the beers here. Very small inside but does have heat lamps outside.

Great beers, service and atmosphere
