Tap East in Hammersmith and Fulham

Popped in for a drink after the football last night and were greeted by friendly bar staff and a good atmosphere. Sadly this was spoiled by an over officious bouncer who decided that even though we had just been served a drink at last orders he wouldn’t let anyone use the toilet as last orders had been called. He suggested we used a bush over the road instead. He refused to change his mind and ended up having to leave our drinks. Shame that the lasting impression on our first visit ended negatively.

Good selection of beers, nice brewery on site and very friendly staff!

Some really nice beers on tap and great selection in the fridges. Some nice nutty snacks available too. Barman very chatty and knowledgeable about beer. Suffers a little by feeling like it’s in a train station (because it kind of is!) but I still enjoyed it. Recommended for beer lovers in transit.

Nice selection of unusual beers!

Been drinking at Tap East for over the last 5 years, as en-route to and from home in Kent and great point to stop for a drink going to football at Tottenham. Always a great selection of beers/ciders etc, atmosphere is good and staff friendly.

Fantastic beers. Sadly let down by staff who don't much seem bothered, unfortunately. When I arrived (mid-afternoon) there were no staff behind the bar, they were all on the bar stools having a chin wag and weren't particularly worried about getting up and serving. Couple that with empty glasses and crisp packets out on pretty much every table for the duration of my visit didn't leave a good impression. Hopefully just an off day and not a day to day issue.

I was looking for somewhere that wasn’t just a generic London bar, I wanted proper craft beer and by pure chance, came across Tap East, I’m glad I did. Good selection of beers, £13 for two different pints which I thought was reasonable. If you use maps to find it, it is a little confusing as it tells you that you’re at the location when you’re clearly not, so walk through the shopping centre and outside, you should see it. There is only one toilet next to the bar but it was spacious. There was seating at high and low tables inside along with outdoor seating. Would recommend this place to anyone after a real beer.

Fantastic little place. Very smart looking bar with various seating options plus some outside seating. Quite popular so was fairly busy at 5pm with people finishing work, shopping etc. Full of excellent drink options and given its location I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable pricing structure. A must visit for me if you like Craft Beers and Ales.

Decent pint. Stratford needs more decent boozers

Great selection of beer with fast service.

Really good beer for a good price!

Lovely little place to go for a couple of chilled out drinks. Great selection of beers all reasonably priced. The bar itself has a Belgian bar sort of feel which I am a big fan of. Would recommend!

Expensive but worth every penny Very good good beer

Great little as escape from the madness of Westfield. Good beer. Good people.

This is a great place to grab craft beer and relax away from the bustle of the mall.

Always pop in here when taking in an event at the London Stadium or shopping at Westfield. Numerous beers on cask and keg as well as fridges full of bottles and cans which are available for take away too. Friendly and knowledgeable bar staff. Decent service too when there’s a big event on at the stadium. Some of the beers are also brewed on site in their microbrewery. A must visit when in Stratford.

Good place for a beer with a good range to select from.

Great place to go for a drink with friends and a catch up. Friendly and knowledgable staff, fantastic atmosphere, great beer and great snack-age make this place a must-visit for beer lovers and shoppers wanting a break

Surpringly great beer choice in a soulless shopping mall

Excellent choice of beers with Christian and crew giving top service at v reasonable prices for London. Friendly security guys as well.

Barman very rude, Best beer i've had though

Nice pub to catch up and chill with a lot of beer options

Great selection of drinks, friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend a visit to try a few of their offerings. Great place to pop into if you are waiting for your 🚆 train

We only stopped there briefly to meet up with friends.

Two of the breweries excellent cask ales available ar this brewery tap. Makes visiting the Westfield Centre worthwhile.

Tap East is as it ever has been. A lovely micro brew bar in Westfield Stratford. If you're really lucky you get to sit in their comfy sofa corner. The beer is brilliant and the wine is good too and reasonably priced for this location.

It's not the best experience and waiter very rude

The only place I'd consider having a beer in Westfield. Good selection of cask and keg at reasonable prices. You can even try their beer that is brewed on site

My first visit. Tried some very nice beers. Very good selection, and very friendly staff.

Good Beer, good staff and decent atmosphere.

Love this place, fantastic selection beers and always a good, safe atmosphere

Really nice pork crackling, reasonably priced pretty good beer

What a find. Totally unexpected in a shopping mall, across the ground floor (weirdly labelled -1 in the lift) from Stratford International Station (weirdly labelled as an international station). Great range of beers and even brilliant bar snacks. Sensibly priced too. Result. I shall return.

Decent...good playground right outside to chuck the kids into

A great little bar in the far corner of the wast soulless Westfield shopping centre. Let the wife & kids do the shopping and sample their fine range of cask and craft ales. Bonus points for table football and fresh beers brewed on site. A gem!

Great real ale bar and respite from the shopping.

I'd describe this as a micropub. It's situated at rear entrance of Westfield so it's a perfect spot to grab a quick drink and some respite from the stuffy heat and crowds of the mall. Cool. Literally airy and coo that is,l with a few comfy couches to sink into. We just had a couple of cappuccinos which were spot on and 2/3 pint of the locally brewed session IPA. The draught ales come as 1 pint, 2/3 pint, 1/2 pint and 1/3 pint - I've never seen that before and it's a great idea. Has some outdoor seating too. This was a quiet Tuesday lunchtime so it wasnt busy and was very tranquil but I'd guess it must get busy at evenings, weekends and on matchdays.

Great little bar. I was stopping overnight for business close by and out on my lonesome. Bobbed in for a quick pint and ended up staying for a few hours chatting with other punters. Great beer and great atmosphere in a mall! Who’d have thought :) well worth a sneaky pint after work.

This is a little oasis in the mega temple to consumerism that is Westfields Stratford. Both of us are big real ale fans and this place never fails to deliver good beer well kept at a reasonable price, for London! It is great for taking time out if you should find yourself in Westfield.

Very good brewery tap in Westlands Shopping Centre at Stratford. Two cask beers - and two ciders - on handpump when I last visited including the house stout. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Great selection of beers, my personal favourite was the Pillars Helles. Excellent service from the girls, I wiuld recommend this place for a quick pint in a chilled atmosphere :)

Great vibes! (Considering it's in Westfield!)

Good place to pop into for a drink. They serve hot pork scratchings.

It's a great little taproom considering it's part of a shopping centre. My one gripe is that they are not checking stock regularly enough. I just grabbed a can to take out and paid full price for an out of date can! That's a big red flag for me. I will think about hitting up beer merchants tap or Mother kellys in the future. EDIT: They came back to me in less than 24hrs. Truly great customer service there! I declined the refund and took the replacement beer. Great stuff.

I had very high hopes for this place, but sadly, it didn't live up to expectations. The selection of beers was ok, but there wasn't a great amount of choice, particularly in cans. I like a good hazy IPA between 6-8% and there wasn't anything in that range. The overall atmosphere, too, is a bit different to most tap taprooms. Kids area right outside or being connected to a shopping centre maybe didn't help?! Might be me being fussy!!!

Great range of beers, some quite expensive, but mid-range to cheaper brews are available. Needs a few more stouts. Staff pleasant. Styled well, but basically very much a no frills venue. Stools are torture to sit on and overall comfort needs to be improved, but will visit again. Very convenient for Stratford International or a quick beer at the end of a long day..

Terrible London beer on tap.Very busy pub. Sorry but I didn't like it.

Tap East is for beer lovers what a bookshop is for bookworms! Had several fantastic beers and loved the ambiance. My only wish is that they had a food menu, even if just a few items. Will be back my next time in London

Great selection of quality beers from all over. Takeaway prices for beers are astoundingly cheap! Well worth a visit, even if just to grab a beer (or five) for onward travel. I didn't sample any food, but it seems to be perfect to complement a good beer.

Great little craft beer spot with an excellent beer selection. Staff was very nice and helpful. Takeaway beers were excellently priced as well! I do feel like the inside could use some stylistic improvement, but that onus is on the owner 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beer brewed on the premises very good. Within entrance to Westgate Centre, Stratford. Enjoyed. One comment is they don't take cash. Card only.

nice selection of ales it’s a micro brewery and handy for a pit stop whilst the ladies are shopping. fairly low key

Excellent Tap Room, three cask ales on and numerous keg ales, they brew their own beers, seem to have events on, excellent service.

Great craft beer bar. For Westfield, not too busy either - a busy Saturday with a nearby gig and still able to get a table. Great selection of beers and well priced too. Would have liked another sour on - but that’s just personal preference. Great find

Great beers and very friendly staff

Pleasant venue tucked away in Stratford a little escape from the hustle and bustle of the shops, can only imagine how busy it is on match days.

Helpful bar lady. Decent NA options and a West Ham pub when we're on. A decent stop in when waiting for the train. Decent selection of ales on tap.

Me like 🍺🤪 great vibe. Always going that extra mile. Eg if you look like an unemployed crypto dude they'll check if you can afford the wine before purchase! 😎

Good service good beer nice toilet

Alway have to visit Tap East whenever I have to go to Westfield...an oasis in the desert of shops. Had to a pint of Trinity as that was the name of my old school, it was gorgeous!

A brewery in a shopping centre? Who would have thought of that? Tap East that's who. Here you can not only pick from their craft/real ale selection, but also a great selection of craft from around the world. When I visited they had just started Tap East take out bottles and were working on adding food. Very refreshing after a hectic shop and the staff are great too appearing to have tasted many of the beers available.

Great little bar tucked amongst several food places. Excellent range of beers all at fair prices for London. Lovely little oasis, superb service. No food available, but we were told we could bring in takeaway purchased elsewhere, providing we purchased drinks.

Decent little pub in Westfield centre Stratford ,they have guest ales and ther own beers ,I recommend there Brown Ale .

Ever changing choice of beers and lagers. Gets very busy on match days

Great location and an escape from the shopping!

Great little micropub with its own brewary, located in Westfield Stratford, near Stratford International Station. Always a good selection of beers, both their own and from elsewhere. Their signature East End Mild is especially good. A range of places to sit, including high tables with bar stools, comfy sofas, and outside tables. It is also right next to a well kept children's play area, so good for families. Can get busy at times, but usually possible to find a space. Highly recommended.

Brew pub with a selection of own beers and (foreign) guest beers Efficient friendly staff.

Great place, do a gluten free pilsner. Been twice in the last 2 weeks. Would recommend. The Olives are perfect here as well!

Lazy and laid-back staff. Visibly uninterested in any way. Curt to the point of "What do you want"? Hugely disappointed!!

Great place to stop off before catching your train home. Beer at 6.8ABV is great too!

Good range of London beers from local tap and other small local brewers. Range of strengths from session to over 9pct, and good selection of styles. Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff.

Great place to rest and loads of beer to choose from.

Enjoyed a glass of rioja in this small but lovely bar

Really fantastic craft ales at not unreasonable prices (for London)

Buena cerveza Distintas variedad

Plenty of choice of beers, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

I love that they always have such a varied selection of beers available but after 10+ visits I have yet to try a beer that I really loved. I tend to sample a broad range and usually opt for 1/2 or 1/3 pints. The service has always been warm.and welcoming, the staff are quite knowledgeable on their range of drinks. Being in a shopping mall they don't have much of a large area and at busy periods we often have to just stand and drink. Not sure how they could rectify this, it just is what it is, there is some seating outdoors as well that kind of expands their capacity. Overall a decent place for a quick pint.

Lovely place just off the Busy shopping centre, good to relax with a great choice of beers etc, will be back soon.

Lovely selection of beer and friendly service

Friendly staff, lots Of drinks to choose from

Nice bar in Westside mall.the only one I found on the main level .

Really nice varied selection of beers available on tap. Not much seating it you're happy to stand at a table if in a group of more than 4.

Very friendly staff and good choice of beers

A great place to find a drink and relax in the chaos of Westfield

Sure fresh tasting beers and ales

Lovely little tap House with 3 great beers on hand pull. Comfy seating indoors and and out door area too. Perfect location for a thirst quencher if you have been in Westfield shopping centre or dare I say a good place to leave your other half of you want to shop in peace especially if you have traveled by train

Always good to have a drink here. Reliable selection of ales and craft beers.

Quick glass of wine before a hair appointment- always reliably good

Down-to-earth drinking hole, where the staff are always friendly and efficient. Prices no more exorbitant than any other prime London venue - and the range and quality of beers are consistently good. Worth a visit👍 PS Make sure you get a full pint, though....

Great bar staff, had a bad experience with my card not working, the staff was understanding and gave me time to find other means of paying

Have been here a number of times. Friendly welcoming staff, good range of well kept beer, would strongly recommend!

This is the only real thing in Westfield.

Nice cosy bar with a friendly barman tucked away in the corner of a very busy shopping centre that makes you feel you're not actually in a shopping centre. Plenty of beers to choose from at various prices, usually depending on the abv, but unfortunately there was not anything I liked as it was mostly lighter IPA's and blonde ale style beers, I'm a fan of amber, red and darker ales, but the barman said he was speaking to the brewers about an amber ale so I may be back.

A great place to visit when in Westfield, Stratford. Good choice of beers & a lovely atmosphere 👍🏻

Just about the only thing that offsets a unpleasant trip to Westfield is the reward of finishing in Tap East. Great range of beers including some brewed on site. I almost marked down for the fact that they were charging £7+ for a pint of Howling Hops which is brewed less than 2 miles away, but it's been a tough time for pubs and I'm thankful these guys are still here. But if you're reading this Tap East by all means charge high prices for unusual imports, but not for what is possibly the most local beer other than your own brews.

Tap East is a regular stop-off on my daily walk between the two Stratford stations. It's small, fairly chill, and very different to the rest of the shopping centre that it's in. They have a good range of interesting beers - the Pils is surprisingly nice - and it's easy to time your exit to the platform at the International station. So, two surprises: nice bar in a shopping centre and a really nice Pils.

Wide range of beers - keg and cask. Only Good Beer Guide pub for quote a way around.

Always a good selection of beer. Friendly knowledgeable staff and convenient location near the station and shopping centre. It can be difficult to find a seat sometimes.

Nice craft beers. Only downside is that they close early compared to a pub.

A little unpretentious bar to have a few drinks while waiting around. They have WiFi too.
