The Bird & Barrel in Bexley

Not so much the food, but the beer is excellent, the staff are very friendly and it's a great place to meet up with friends

A cosy pub with great atmosphere and a excellent choice of beer

Really well kept selection of cask beer. Well worth a visit when in the neighbourhood.

Excellent local Micro pub. Serving Bexley Brewery Beer. Highly recommend. Do not serve food.

Had a very pleasant evening there yesterday, as always a good selection a great drinks on offer. I finished off with 2 pints of The Big 10 their 10th anniversary table beer . Coming in at 3.1% (which I couldn't believe as it was so good) !! 🍻

Bexley is effectively beer heaven and the Bird and barrel may be the jewel in the crown. Beautifully kept and wholesome beers, outstanding service from Paul and the propietors was well worth the trip from the other side of the pond. Add it to your bucket list!

Our second of hopefully many more visits. The service was great by very friendly staff. We sat in the beautiful courtyard garden where we were treated to table service. The beer was very good.

Always a great selection of beers, served by people that know about beer !

Lovely friendly pub. Nice atmosphere and everyone is chatty. We visited one evening with some friends who are locals and regulars. Unfortunately I had an accident with my drink and Jane and Becky were so helpful and went out of their way to help me out and even lent me a hair dryer. Thank you

Great local micro pub. Excellent selection of beers and ciders (including alcohol free) couple with perfect service.

Excellent local micro pub with a good selection of beers, including their own. Friendly and welcoming, with a small covered garden out the back, what more could you want.

Lovely little pub with great beer and cider selection

Serves mostly Bexley Brewery ales but has guest ales from local and associated breweries. Good selections of beer cider and gin. Very good beers. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Table service and a weatherproof outside area. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Always a friendly crowd in here and the table service saves queuing. An ever rotating selection of Bexley Brewery beers plus guests are on offer on cask and keg, as well as a long cider list, wine and sprits.

Lovely local spot to have a few pints of ale/cider, contributing to independent/smaller brewers. Nice to have the rear beer garden added since some earlier visits 3-4 years ago, too. Great prices and friendly staff.

Fantastic little micro pub. And the best thing is the gluten free options for the Mrs and the takeaway drinks afterwards 🍻

Staff are extremely friendly, drink quality and selection are excellent!

Good beers, good spirits, good ambience, great hosts. Need say no more.

Lovely,little quirky place,great friendly staff and local produce would highly recommend a visit.

This is a lovely little free house, with some quality locally producedl ales...

Excellent selection . High quality.

As usual the beer was excellent, friendly atmosphere and nice clientele, always nice and clean,I will keep going there and recommending it

Great beers and friendly service.

Went for a ploughman's, stayed for the beer.

Good beer, nice staff, pleasant atmosphere if rather noisy! Wide range of good craft beers (but, sadly, no best bitter on!)

Super friendly little pub that always has interesting beers on. Little decked garden is a sun trap and always service with a smile. So happy this is our local!

Friendly staff, good selection of drinks and very good atmosphere

Pleasent brewery tap room. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

I love this pub. Firstly it has local beer. Secondly the guest kegs they have are generally awesome and rotate nicely each week. I drink in or get takeaway to have at home; there’s always something good there. It has a nice outdoor seating area for the warmer weather. There’s nothing not to like.

Every visit is relaxed. Greeted warmly. Would heartedly recommend

First visit back after numerous lockdowns - spoilt for choice with an excellent selection of cask & keg. Staff amazing as always & friendly punters

Great bar with friendly knowledgeable staff. Produce their own beers which are definitely worth trying. There's always a decent selection of guest beers too.

Very nice place and garden area, lovely staff and a good selection of drinks would definitely recommend. Really enjoy have a few quiet drinks with and without the missus

Excellent. Good customer service, good selection of beer and quick table service. Will return.

I don't know why it has taken me this long to visit my local micropub. The Bird and Barrel is small (which is kind of the point with a micropub) and cosy. It has a very pleasant atmosphere, the other customers are as polite as the staff. The beer was excellent. It's taken nearly two years to get their the first time, but I won't be long before I make my second visit.

Very fresh beers and kegs.Relaxing atmosphere and a very knowledgeable bar manageress.Sausage rolls are available at weekends also a lovely little bakery (Kay's) next door.Both are situated in the leafy village of Barnhurst.

Popped in after a trip to the theatre, finished the day off lovely. Had a very warm welcome and chat while trying out a few of the recommended gins. Will definitely be going back.

Friendly staff and a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices.

Great little place and very friendly people

A great little bar selling their own beers plus ciders, spirits ,& soft drinks There's also a lovely outdoor seating area

Great Pub enjoyed the home brewed Ales.

Excellent, friendly people. Make everybody welcome. Great beers too!

Great well kept beer, this micro pub is a great little place with a friendly atmosphere 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Good friendly micro pub interesting range of beers that are constantly changing and friendly knowledgeable staff

Wonderful place run by the owner of Bexley brewery and his family. Always has a great selection of beers as well as a goo range of gins and ciders too. Lovely little beer garden hidden at the rear too.

Excellent little micro pub. Good choice of beer. Friendly staff and customers. Nice little outside decked area at the back.

Nice little micro: generally Bexley Brewery ales (it's the brewery tap). Small outdoor area behind. Busy, but not noisy tonight.

Fantastic, utterly fantastic. No music, no poncey food, just incredible beer and a few seats. Minimalist and ideal.

Dinky little micropub, one of the smallest I've been too in the SE London area. Owned by the nearby Bexley Brewery so their beers are available and were in good condition. The small room leads to a friendly atmosphere.

Great beer, good choice and friendly staff. Not one to miss out on.

Loved it! Have good choice of Bexley brewery beers that are all fab! Comfortable, friendly & do carry outs- they supply the container. What more could you want? Will hopefully be returning soon.

Refreshing. A bijou public house, friendly and inviting, selling a small but great selection of beer's and ciders. Relaxing environment with the right ambience for conversations. Well placed and priced for a night out.

Nice selection of ales and cider, very friendly staff.

Fantastic tap room for the Bexley Brewery. Run by the brewing family itself. They're always happy to chat about their own and guest beers on tap. A brilliant little gem that's the best place for a decent pint anywhere in the area! Best of all, it's situated right next to the station so it's now my local too.

Lively local pub with a fantastic selection of beers, Ales and Ciders

Friendly atmosphere and great beers from Bexley Brewery and guest brewers. Really enjoy the choice of cask and keg.

Great intimate micropub with its own microbrewery.

Went to visit the Bird and Barrel to check out the Bexley Brewery beers. Really friendly staff and customers. Great beer.It's a lovely micro pub about 30 minutes from central London by train and well worth a trip.

Not been here for a while but still the same friendly faces, Jane and Cameron today. Great selection as usual. Sun's out too, life's not so bad........

New micropub in Barnehurst, close to the station. Good selection of beers, ciders and spirits. Notably stocks locally made ales from the Bexley Brewery (and very good they are too!). Only open Friday pm and weekends - check the times, so can get busy. Highly recommended!

What a great place, love the beer and atmosphere.

Very nice and really friendly staff..

Great selection of well kept beers and ciders. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful young chap behind the bar. Worth a visit, but check opening times as they're not the same as s regular pub

Great real ale nice atmosphere.

Friendly atmosphere and nice selection of their own and other beer

Amazing little micropub in Barnehurst. They have a great selection that changes regularly including their own brewery beers as well as guest pumps. Couldn't recommend this place more, such a great atmosphere!

Visit this micropub and you will be met with a warm welcome and great beers and ciders .

Friendly and bright micropub with a decent selection of drinks. Very friendly staff and lively atmosphere. Takeaway from cask selection available. Table space can go very quickly, but definitely worth a return visit.

What a gem of a place. Not many seats but great service and selection. Awesome place

Fantastic micropub in a former commercial premises, tidily refitted to serve tasty Bexley Brewery beers on cask from three handpumps, along with a few guest kegs and cider

Good micro pub with good selection of beers and drinks

Really enjoyed my first visit to the newly opened micro pub/bar The Bird & Barrel. I attended last Saturday lunchtime. My enjoyment was satisfied on many levels, first, this micro pub looks & feels like a pub, comfortable, warm & welcoming. Unlike, in my opinion, some other micro establishment's, that have the look/feel of a cafe. Second, the selection of draft beer was first rate, three on handpump on this visit. Two from the host Bexley Brewery, Hills & Holes, a session ale, brewed for the pub, Redhouse premium ale, 4.2 & one from the North London Redemption brewery, an Amber ale, Hopspur 4.5. There was also a wide selection of beer on keg, continental bottled beer, ciders, wine & spirits. Third & you might argue, most important, the product. I had one each of the hand pump beers which were excellent & also very competitively priced, cheaper than a lot of other local micro pubs! Finally, The service was great. Behind the bar (yes bar!) was Cameron, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, efficient & friendly & his friend Addy. We had a jolly good chat about Rugby, amongst other topics. The clientele, a good amount for an early Saturday lunchtime, we're friendly an chatty. With it's proximity, close to Barnehurst railway station & on major bus routes from Woolwich, Bexleyheath, Erith, Belvedere etc, I would highly recommend a visit.

I got discharged from hospital on Sunday after Heart Surgery so I missed the opening on Friday. My brother made a special effort to take me here on weds 18/04/2018. We sat outside from 4pm until 4.35pm but there was no sign of it opening. We left very disappointed.Only to find later that the fault was on this site!! If you check out Facebook you will find that the opening times have changed to 5.30pm!!

Amazing beer in a lovely setting. The brewer was there to tell me about the beer - which was smashing. I'd totally recommend it to any beer lover.
