Mother Kelly's in Tower Hamlets

Really nice venue, with great staff and a huge selection of interesting beers. I'll be back when in the area.

Excellent choice of beer and very good customer service.

Great cider, music, staff and lighting.

Delicious beers and plenty of seating inside and out.

We came here for my husband’s birthday. The service was excellent- nothing was too much to ask! We really, really appreciated it. The beers were delicious. The place is also very dog friendly, which was another big plus! We would highly recommend.

Proper lovely independent place, nice and quiet where we could have a conversation without shouting over music. Loads of unique beers to try. Very friendly staff! Loved it.

As a beer-spoiled Frankonian/German I was blown away. This beer temple celebrates craft beer and international beers without being pretentious like a lot of other places. The Overtone Glimmer was an absolute delight! 6/5 stars

A great, chill spot to try a bunch of draughts! Nice and quiet on a Sunday afternoon/evening for meeting up with friends.

Great beer and friendly, knowledgeable staff

Great selection of beers on draft and in the fridges. Nice option of a cheese pairing with a beer too

Really cool tap room under railways aches. Good beer good staff I liked it. Food looked good as well

Great taproom and bottle shop! Lots to choose from with 22 different taps and great beer on each of them. The only thing that disappointed me on my visit was that most of the beers hovered around the 4-5% side, and I tend to prefer nice punchy IPAs. That being said, the pales were still excellent and hoppy, I just prefer a nice strong IPA or DIPA. Some interesting beers were offered as well, such as an 8% saison brewed with chillies that was top notch (pictured), and Cantillon by the glass which is always great. I would definitely recommend, especially to people who are new craft beer as there's enough choice to have something for everyone, and I will definitely come back!

Great selection of beers & friendly service!

Great find right next to our hotel. Awesome beer options and really nice patio area.

They don't mind you bringing in the (excellent) food from next door.

Cosy bar under the arches near Bethnal Green tube. Fantastic choice of beers, ranging from 0% ale up to a 12% Imperial Stout. I had the London Porter from Anspach & Hobday (which falls in the middle range). I've had it before and it was as good as I'd remembered. Everyone I was with agreed it's a place to be re-visited.

A place with a warm welcome and a fine selection of craft beer.

I found some alcohol free options in the fridges which was great! Many options with alcohol. Great atmosphere and nice staff.

Mmmmmmmm lovely beers everywhere!

Great spot. Lots of nice beers and very friendly and helpful staff.

If you like sours then this is the place to go! They have a great selection on tap and their tinned sours are really good too! :) the atmosphere is really great and the service is super!! 😀

Always a pleasure to visit, awesome beers and chilled atmosphere.

Lovely place! Infinity choices of beers that changes daily. Raspberry sour is the best 💜

Such a great vibe inside and the large beer garden. Really easy to get to, as it’s only a 2mins walk from Bethnal Green station. The staff are all very hospitable and there’s so many beers to choose from, you can be there for hours trying all of them. Great for a big group of friends for a birthday, as there’s something for everyone.

Great choice of craft beers of all kinds - stouts, sours, wheats, IPAs, lambics.... sadly, no cask beer, which is a shame! Decent place, though.

Always great service, great selection of beers and a nice, chilled atmosphere.

A huge wall of beer fridges and big tap menu means there's a lot of interesting stuff here for beer nerds to appreciate, so I could spend a lot of time and money here! Plenty of space to sit inside and out the front. They have some meat and cheese board type food available, but also you can order from the burger place next door and they will bring it to your table.

Good beer good atmosphere nice place to meet.

Really nice relaxed place, no steps, lots of space between lots of tables inside as well as a nice outdoor area. Burgers can be ordered from next door and there is a great selection of beers including sours. There is a wall of fridges with cans and bottles for take always and the staff are friendly. I didn’t use the toilets so can’t comment on them! Will definitely be back

OK place to sit and have a beer. tucked in away from the main road lots of options, friendly atmos.

Perfect bar with nice people. Specialy nat and teddy. Have nice locals beer

Good craft beer options in nice surroundings.

New favourite bottle shop. The range on tap was awesome and the fact you can get whatevers on tap canned is immense. There'll never be another bottle shop for me now Five stars isn't enough!!!

Exactly what a craft beer experience should be about - Chris was a friendly, cheerful host happy to chat with his patrons, nice selection on offer and lovely atmosphere. Worth making the trip for even not being a local.

Great service, delicious beer. The only problem is the prices. I understand that a beer can cost 6 pounds because this is how the country fights alcoholism, but for sparkling water, a small bottle, to cost almost 4 pounds?? It's better to buy beer.

Great vibe, friendly staff, massive range of alcoholic drinks and now they always have non-alcoholic beer on draft as well as in the fridges. It's great for a social drink after climbing at BethWall just round the corner. They genuinely listen to customer feedback to make it even better and when we booked for a big birthday party they really went the extra mile to make it special.

Decent number of taps, but not a great enoigh variety between styles, for my liking, given the number of taps. Nice enough craft joint/crèche, nonetheless.

Fabulous staff recommendation. Tried boxcar which is local beer with rally smooth taste.

Great place to get local beer. Cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Really good selection of over 20 craft ales. I didn't eat here so can't comment on it. Really friendly staff, especially the guy from Brittany.

This was a lovely place to spend an hour or so. Decent selection on draft and a good range in the fridges. Nice atmosphere, felt fairly chilled. Would definitely come back.

Great space with good vibes and top tier beers at a reasonable price. Grab some of the sweet chilli rice snacks with your beer they are great.

Always a great selection of beers and a chilled environment. Free fizzy water is a real bonus. Great tap room 👌

I loved this restaurant! The service was very friendly, the drinks available were great, and bonus points because you can bring in your own food.

The bar with the best beer selection I've ever been to

Quality craft beer spot. One of the originals

This is a great find. Lovely people who serve great beer

Vastissima selezione di birre sia alla spina che in bottiglia o lattina

Definitely recommend, one of my go-to places to have great beers. Selection changes often. Staff is nice.

Loved this place. The bartender, Arthur, explained a lot of the extensive draft beers to us and let us try samples. Some very unique flavors on tap. Cool atmosphere and excellent service and they have blankets for when it gets chilly on the patio and it did. The whole set up is super chill and unique and we will return next time In London. Big time excellent service.

Love this place... Beer heaven! Great place to drink with mate and dog friendly. 22 taps with tonnes more in fridges and more. Food is cheese and charcuterie (meh) and occasionally a vender outside... but it's not the food you go for.

Bar man was informative and friendly

Nice place. Didn't have any food but the beers on tap were great.

Great beer selection, the staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. A great place to try new beers.

All the beers, this place is great, inside or out.

Good little place. If going with big groups it's better to reserve a big table. But you can order food there or from the restaurant beside it

Best beer selection for all tastes in east London

Often buzzy. Usually have two gluten-free beers on tap. Top notch tap house

Always choose to go here for a chill drink if I’m feeling like one. The staff are always lovely and the service is fast I don’t think I have ever had to wait more then a couple of minutes to be served.

Under the arches, pleasant bar with lots of outdoor space. Great range of beers, no cask beers but what they have is good. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Happened to wander in here, escaping thr rain. Lovely drinks and nibbles in an open, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Great selection of craft beers. Nice vibe.

Nous sommes français, nous avons séjourné a l hotel yotel et juste derrière l hôtel il y a le moteur kelly's bethnal green vraiment super bien , je recommande

Always a great selection of beer and helpful, friendly staff

I don’t know what is special about this pub but it is :) staff beers Onerw all :)

Really awesome selection of craft beers on tap. Great friendly service and plenty of seating indoors and out. Always try to pop in to see what's new on the taps whenever in the area. Great bar!

Have been going to Mother Kelly’s in Bethnal Green for years and always have a great time here: it’s so friendly, the inside and outside seating is bright and stylish. Stunning range of beers, nice food: olives, cheeseboard etc. All in all a lovely spot. On my last visit the dogs there were ADORABLE too!

Cute little place to have a beer. Great choice and good service

Super accommodating pub, we visit monthly and they are always incredibly welcoming and obviously have an amazing selection of beers, that I am yet to make my way through... But I hope to.

I liked the place and location. There's mix of ages and good space outside, perfect for summer. I only had one drink.

Trekked across London to visit after being very impressed with Simon The Tanner. Unfortunately the opening hours on their website are not correct. At 3pm on a Thursday they were closed despite the website stating 12 as the opening time. However, from what we saw and with some Limited staff interaction, it's not worth another trek.

This place has a lovely vibe as does the whole of paradise row. Great for people who want to try some different varieties of beer. Would be great if they also had a few more wines to choose from and some pork scratchings! The chocolate platter always looks amazing!

I come here every time I'm in the capital, its a few moments stroll from bethnal green tube station has lots of interesting and unusual draught beers and a huge amount of bottles, also on my last visit we had the meat board and a pork pie which were unbelievably good

Mother Kelly's is a New York inspired Tap Room and it's a brisk walk from Bethnal Green station and under the Railway Arches. Busy place on a Friday night with a nice vibe. They have 23 drinks on draught with a mixer of Indian Pale Ales (IPAs) and a few lagers. They also have over 5 fridges stocked with IPAs etc. No.7 (£4.50 for half a pint) was my favourite 'Left Hand Hard Wired Nitro - Coffee Porter' which is a stout. The toilets need better ventilation and the IPAs are pricing (£15 plus for 2 pints).

Au Mother Kelly's la sélection de bière est plutôt pointue. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, avec des tables communes et un food truck en terrasse qui change régulièrement de thème food. À essayer !

Nog nooit eerder bezocht maar voor de bierliefhebber wel een must om in Londen te bezoeken. Meer dan 20 bieren op de tap, kaart krijgt een dagelijkse update. Naast de tap een wand vol met bieren in blik of fles. Ook grote flessen (75cl) voor evt to share aanwezig. Serveren oa worst en kaasplankje. Wij hebben een worstplankje op en deze was rijkelijk belegd.

Plenty of real ale and bespoke beers all around.Excellent warm staff and the widest range of bottled beers in east london. A typical night you can get a beer and enjoy a feeling of community and relaxation. Open air food is often sold in the front seating area and is of exceptional quality and not an exceptional price-tag.

Nice pub in nice area. It's really close to Bethnal Green station which is a good point. Their selections of beers is huge, it's definitely a beer heaven! They've got some cheese, meat and veggie boards as well. Great for a night-out during the week.

Went there tonight to pick up a few beers to take home. I have a lot of respect for MK's as they must be one of the best craft beer bars/bottle shops in the country, but tonight the manager/team leader character (*whoever*) was extremely rude and condescending when my (nice) barman asked for help. Disappointing.

Recommended these purveyors of fine ale by my local in Leeds when in London Town.Glad to have made my way along the Central Line to this stylish yet relaxed temple to the hop!Staff were warm, friendly and enthusiastic about quality ales. As said in previous reviews the selection was outstanding and it were reet good to see some of my favourite Yorkshire ales featured. Importantly there were lots of local tipples too.I ordered the veggie platter which was humungously big enough to share, so generous portions. So if you love beer, and a place that's chilled and well designed board that train to Bethnal Green! Cheers!

Best beer program I've found in London so far. Super cool that the allow takeaway as well as drinking in. Meat & cheese board was enormous. Really great spot. Can't stop visiting.

Brilliant taproom hidden just near Bethnal Green Underground Station.Massive selection of beers on tap and even more bottles available if that's not enough - any beer lovers' dream!!

Great pub/bar, quite ample, with a nice front yard. Staff quite knowledgeable on beers, great selection.

A range of beers literally on tap. Knowledgeable staff with time to talk and give you time to taste before you buy

I regularly visit Mother Kelly's. In my opinion it is the pub with the most interesting selection of fresh British, European and World Beers in London, probably England too. The layout is open, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the World Beer Fridges are well stocked with loads of interesting options.Beer Geeks Note: If you are travelling to London to drink beer this is the place you have to visit. No question.

I went there because I was curious and I had some beers, it's incredible how many (good) craft beers they have! From all around the world!I haven't had a meal but food looked like a traditional simple and home made food.

Mother Kelly's must be the most important beer place East London. With enormous selection of world beers on tap ranging from double IPA's to barley wine they have something for everyone. And if that is not enough - they have whole wall of display fridges stacked with bottles of beer. Everything is divided in categories making it very easy to browse. All bottles are available to purchase to take away (with discounted price in comparison to have it in).Actual place is set just moments from Bethnal Green station in Paradise Row. It has large yard where time to time BBQ or other food stool is set. If you are after a small snack, I would recommend olives and bread (it comes with olive oil and vinegar).I visited Mother Kelly's on a few occasions and their staff was always friendly and very knowledgeable to all my questions.This place is complete opposite from your regular pub. They have very modern approach that fits current market needs for quality beer. It is the place for someone who wants to discover new beer styles and learn something new.

Great little find find after the museum of childhood. A "menu" of beers and very engaging and knowledgable staff. Already planning a return visit.

For a lover of sour beers and stouts this bar ticks all my boxes! Great atmosphere and pop up out door food stands. If not this there is a delicious selection of platters.... including a chocolate platter!!

A beer lovers paradise with a good choice on tap and an extensive bottle selection.Food platters are also very good.

Sono un'amante della birra e se anche voi come me lo siete, dovete necessariamente passare da Mother Kelly's e non resterete affatto delusi! il locale propone almeno una ventina di tipi diversi di birra provenienti da tutto il mondo e una scelta esagerata per quanto riguarda le birre in bottiglia. I prezzi sono onesti e il personale gentile e simpatico.

From research, I was expecting a hip little bar in a dingy railway arch with maybe a few beers on tap. In fact it's an airy, modern-looking place with a massive bottle bar and around 12 beers on tap that are all top quality.The icing on the cake though was their food platters which were well thought through and brilliant - Chocolate platter anyone?Thoroughly recommended

Loved this place. Best selection of beers ever but they are a bit short on seating so you might struggle getting a table inside.

Im not going to London without spending several hours at Mother Kellys. Always some great beers on tap, and some absolute gems in the fridge. The staff are great, the atmosphere is even greater and the hotdogs outside are awesome. See youbagain in August!

This place has some cracking beers, with a very decent rotation and introduction to beers. The place is however swarming with hipsters, so be sure to wear your protective gear. A great place to drink and listen to idiots. Preacher man would like.

There's beer. And then there's Beer. Mother Kelly's knows this. Their staff know this, and they're helping everyone who comes in get to know this. From light lagers to super sour Guezes, the selection in the massive fridges and on tap at the back of this railway arch right by Bethnal Green tube is ridiculous. That location, that selection and those friendly bar staff means the place can get a little busy, but they move the crowds at the bar along quickly - and you can book ahead to save a spot. Even if you hate beer (and your friends love it), you can order a decent G&T or drop of wine! If you ever wanted to get to know a bit more about the ever-growing beer scene, this is an ace place to start.

If you like good quality beer, it is your place! They have something like 10 different beers on tap and much more available by the bottle.They have beers from all other the world and most importantly many beers locally brewed.I found the staff really friendly, easy going and helpful. On the overall, there is a nice atmosphere and it is a good place to go to drink with mates.

I only stopped for one beer but that was fantastic staff will be friendly wish I could have been there longer would definitely visit again

Visited here on our last night staying in Bethnal green. This is a quirky, lively bar with 23 different beer taps and a great range of bottled beers. As a couple of OAPs we perhaps looked a little out of place as everyone was a great deal younger, but hey we were teenagers in the 60s, we've seen it all. Bar staff very friendly and informative, the girl made sure we had somewhere to sit which was very sweet of her. This was a Thursday night and there was a barbeque outside, we had already eaten so don't know what the food is like. Only had time for a couple of drinks, they're not cheap but the variety is excellent. Will certainly visit again if we are in the area.

Mother Kelly's is situated in an Arch under the overground rail line in East London about 200 m north of Bethnal Green Tube Station. There are 4 or 5 restaurants and bar hangouts in these arches just off the end of Bethnal Green Road. MK's has 23 beers on tap and they change every week or so. If you don't like beer don't despair the wine list aint too bad either. This is a good place to appreciate the rise of the craft or artisanal beer culture in London. A great place to while a way a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, although Friday night's not bad either. There is no music and if its cold make sure you squeeze inside and grab a seat. There is usually a food vendor outside who will serve up some pretty decent hotdogs. Good atmosphere. A must destination for the beer aficionado's. I recommend it.
