Mile and a Third in Southend-on-Sea

Honestly unbelievable selection of beers, friendly staff and customers. I moved to Southend from London and was worried about the transition, but this place is way better than my old London haunts. Highly recommended. Great music too.

Really good craft beer place, just chill and listen to the metal with your buddies

Mainly craft keg but some cask beers on too. All from quality brerwers and kept very well. There is a nice vibe in this ' not your normal bar'. Very enjoyable. Thank you

Great local bar with it's own special charm. Decent music, varied, high quality beer, convenient location and reassuringly clean!

Don’t even think about it And if for some reason you do don’t get a JD and coke, I’d rather drink sea water

Not a cosy atmosphere but has a large selection of drinks. Asked for their non-alcohol drinks and if they have mocktails. Staff proceeds to list off “mocktails” and I choose one. Then I double check it’s alcohol free (I’m pregnant) and she says “no”…. I told her I’d just have a coca-cola. She brought out some organic off brand coke (nearly £5). It was not what I asked for. Turns out this bar doesn’t even serve branded coke/cola. There are cosier places nearby with better atmosphere, drinks and food for the same price.

Great place for great beer. We walked 3 1/2 miles to try some seasonal stout, well worth it. Owners and staff really know their stuff. The vinyl music is a treat and the loo is the best stocked pub loo I've been in.

Always get a good beer in The Mile and a Third, whether you like craft beer or cask ales, or both. If you like heavy rock and Southend United, this is pub has it all!.

Hand's down the best drinking establishment in the area.

Wide range- knowledgeable staff

Very nice and friendly staff gearing up for Halloween The beers on offer were well kept and reasonable price for London adjacent. Obviously popular with many returning customers Sadly I did not have long to be there, would happily spend all night

I enjoyed my visit here as the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was good; they were playing vinyl records for background music. However, I don't like that they don't accept cash. For someone who only spends in cash, this was a let down for me as I had to ask my friend to pay. I'm sure they have good reasons but I would not visit again for this reason.

If you like high quality craft beer then this is the place to come, it has THE best selection of beers you could ask for. So would definitely recommend a visit if you haven't been. My suggestion to the owners would be to extend the opening hours eg from 10pm to 11pm on Friday. Also some more customer service would be welcomed, the women serving are always courteous but to the guys: a hello and a smile costs nothing! :)

Great craft beer bar. Huge selection of beers, of all varieties, pales, IPAS, stouts, sours....whatever takes your fancy. Often metal on the vinyl being played which actually isn't bad, even as a non fan, but tons of board games to play, so on a busy evening there's always a buzz about the place.

Only one staff. Poor wine, i was sitting next to someone smoking. Not a good experience.

First visit, good friendly service comfortable seating never ate there maybe next time, food looked good.

If would you like enjoy a half. At the third can be your best choice. Beautiful beer fruit flavour.

Lovely little pub, huge selection of beers! Great atmosphere 👌

Great selection of beer. The staff there are extremely nice. If you get a chance you should stop by this place. I will be back.

A poor show. staff were grumpy and we couldn't get to the bar to get served as there were tables stored and piled up in front of it. behind the bar looked a total mess and unhygienic. Wont be returning.

Excellent drink selection. Reasonable pricing. Clear marking of vegan drinks. Good music.

Great selection of all different types of beers, you'll always find something you like 😋

First of what I'm sure will become regular visits....... Good beer that is well looked after and good tunes played as they should be!

Very disappointed at the rude service from Andy, great selection of beers but doesn't cost anything to be civil and welcoming. Loads of other craft ale choices elsewhere

Good beer, friendly owners and good music 🤘

It's a pretty awesome place with a good selection of craft beer. If you've got someone with you who is a coffee drinker - sadly they don't serve coffee but have soft drinks available. The place could use some bit of a tidy up. But if a bit of untidiness doesn't bother you, you'll probably enjoy the experience. They also have a TV for sports events.

Love it here. Favourite gin is sold which is the Ole Palma violet gin

Small local pub with a great selection of beers and friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming staff.

Good selection of beers in a relaxed environment.

Really enjoyed it, will be back

Served strong Perry that tasted like lemon squash by a grumpy extra from Wayne's World - I loved it

Excellent craft beers, highly recommended

Best selection of draft craft beer in South Essex, by some distance, in my experience... and I have visited everywhere that claims to be craft

Excellent selection of craft beer including 4 types of alcohol free beer in cans when I visited (3 Mikkeller, one Northern Monk)

Great service, good drinks and reasonable prices plus Oui Chef Yumz for food, delivered to the table, was brilliant

What a great find. If you like your beers this is the place to go. Fantastic collection on tap and really friendly staff.

Friendly knowledgeable owners, great rock and metal tunes, a cool range of board games, and fantastic beer that rotates regularly. The bathroom also has an array of sprays and feminine products for anyone who gets caught short which I respect. Anyone I've ever taken there loves it!

Another great addition to the craft beer scene in Southend and Westcliff, good selection of cask and key keg at a good price

Disappointed, had high hopes on this but poorly set out, staff ignored us till we had to point out we where waiting, could be fantastic if it had some investment and a better management. Maybe a grower in future and I eat my hat, hope so

Great place for Kenyan cuisine! Owners came by to say hi.

Amazing little find, with some tasty drinks. Extra bonus, they make it very clear what’s vegan.

Great little place for a good beer or 2. Also allow dogs in

Excellent micro brewery great selection of ales playing Real records on a player 👍👍

The beer selection is excellent, the music selection wonderful (played the whole of Paranoid followed by Master of Reality - both incredible albums). Who would have thought it was ever possible to have such great music in a brew pub? The place was packed on a Thursday night. The surroundings eclectic.

Great selection of beers on tap , excellent staff on hand to help you with your beer choice and decent music on the record deck. Well worth popping in.

Small-ish place that offers a surprisingly wide range or beers, cider and ales. Staff are really nice. If you're looking for a quiet drink with some mate, they've go boardgames too. I'll be going again.

Loved it. Good beer and if you like a bit of metal even better.

Yep bepby was correct excrelrent

The best place for Craft beer in Westcliff. Quirky owners and great choice of music - at least for us. We enjoy classic rock and rock music in general. The volume is never too high, so as well as a good Craft, one can enjoy a conversation. Mile and a Third is our first choice for drinks in Westcliff! 👍🍻 🙂

First place I tried in a new area, very good beers with great advice on beers, responsible drinking taken into consideration. Ask for advice on flavours and tastes, you may only need a couple!!

Good selection of beers with taps that rotate regularly, plenty of choice of styles, friendly staff too.

Good selection of beer and games to play.

Excellent pub with a great choice of beers

It's a great micro pub.... Great choice of beers and cider.

Nice beers and concept. Music not to our taste as rather heavy metal focused.

Absolute gold mine of fine craft beers. Unassuming venue but well worth a visit.

Fantastic little venue. Great selection of craft beers (many local), friendly owners and a vinyl player with a superb selection: highly recommended.

Great place for craft ales and lagers

A revolving menu of interesting beers, ales, and ciders. Music played at conversational levels. A “no shenanigans” policy. Love it.

Quirky "shabby chic" decor, very knowledgeable barstaff (Andie & Nick) - excellent and ever-changing craft ale menu with several choices !!! VISIT!! :-)

We’ve been visiting this place on and off since it opened, every Friday after work. We could visit the Hamlet court over the road but we’re not desperate to get drunk- we like Mile and Third as it’s unique and eclectic. I’m drawn to places that aim to be different and although there are other tap rooms locally, they don’t give you the passion the brothers find in all the ales, stouts and ciders they get in. You’ll get regular changes and they know everything about each brewery and each beer!! They also play their music on a Rega turntable which coincidently is where we work and what I build thousands of each year!!!! Keep it going boys.

Warm beer not great pity as been before and had some great ales

Totally unacceptable behaviour by the rude staff, bar has potential if the get better staff. Was meeting a friend twenty feet away from the pub and they think you’re doing a runner before you’ve even ordered. The place is clearly desperate and empty on a hot Saturday night. Shame really

Great selection of Beers and plays decent Vinyl

We sat outside and were served excellent selection of ales and ciders from friendly staff.

A good selection and good service worth a visit.

Excellent range of beers, friendly and efficient staff.

Affordable, beautifully decorated and great staff. Delicious drinks and great AF options.

Excellent selection of craft ales and beers reasonably priced well sized for a micro pub.

Good beer served by excellent host. Very cordial reception. Excellent choices of beer. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great take out options available

Feels a bit cheap and very quickly thrown together. Staff seem up their up bum. Not a great atmosphere personally, outside on a pavement next to a main road with no greenery and dirty looking.

Always great service. Good staff, very good beer and comfortable atmosphere.

Always love visiting here. Great array of beers and ciders plus wine etc. Very covid safe.

Great local bar - friendly and helpful staff and fine choice of beers and ales

Excellent beer and friendly atmosphere 👍👍🖐

Amazing venue, great music and nice beers selections

This is as '2 guys trying a business' as you can imagine, I salute them, and hope they make it!!! What they lack in business acumen, they make up for in passion. Spend your money at this venue every chance you get!

Very nice spot to sip and sample some fine brews and listen to the owner’s record collection. This was a half pint of Mail Order Martian while listening to Tesla unplugged. A nice way to wile away an afternoon. And they have AirCon! UPDATE: they've adapted wll to COVID-19. Staff in gloves and masks, partitioned entrance, spread out tables. Iron Maiden Beer! It is always good to frequent local independent businesses. They are a part of the community as much as you are. It's a place to say a friendly hello, exchange some news and just have a chat. So much more needed in these more socially isolated days thanks to the global pandemic. This is the new normal now, so while you can order stuff online, don't forget to keep your local businesses alive. You'd really miss them when they're gone. Not just for the convenience, but for the quality and as I mentioned social aspect. The internet means you can get almost anything online, but you can't do the people watching or browse a counter and try something new. Or get the smell of something good you want to try. Let's hope these businesses survive. It is us to us fellow customers!

Great choice of beers and taste will not disappoint you.

Nice idea but a bit soulless, not very welcoming, nice range of beers, but just missing warmth really, reasonably priced beer though.

Staff need to learn to smile great beer pity about the service

Nice beer, went there about 3.30pm on NYE. Guy behind counter did not have much of a personality, but would try again.

Andy and Nick are enthusiasts about quality and have all the tried and tested products.You do not get this in most outlets nowadays.It has only a single toilet which is the downside.Woody and quirky inside, l enjoy it.

Dog friendly and beer drinker friendly

Different offering for Westcliff/Southend. Disappointed in closing time of around 9pm. Good range of beers

This place offers a superb environment for a relaxing top quality drink. Friendly staff and real vinal music, treat yourself and have a pint here.

Nice place to try something new, love the vinyl selection, board games and even the cool iron maiden and 5 finger death punch signed items on the walls

Great pub, great beer, great atmosphere...great bar men

Great selection of craft beers.

Welcoming place with great ales

Chilled, different and tasty beer

Great place, great drinks, brilliant music

The pub had a nice atmosphere with cool music in the background, they had an array of board games you could play and had lots of craft beers. Child-freindly.

Amazing local craft beer bar, just needs food

Lovely beer, and seating is available, which is nice.

What a revelation! A wonderful little pub with a fantastic selection of real beer a real chilled atmosphere with lovely music. Definitely go back again x

Lots of interesting ales to try

Amazing place for real ale and they play vinyl

Neat place with a cheerful friendly audience, there are board games. Fresh draft ale, cozy service. What else is needed for a pleasant evening with friends!!!
