The Stormbird in Southwark

I echo another reviewer where had a Kernel IPA, which definitely tasted dodgy but the server didn’t offer a replacement or feel anything was wrong with it! Otherwise seems like a nice spot but perhaps maintenance for their many craft beers isn’t diligent?

Large selection of beer and friendly and competent staff

Have come here a few times since they opened. Have always had an OK time - it's a good space with a solid selection at slightly expensive prices for this kind of craft beer bar. Last time I went though, the beer tasted off (Kernel pale - which I've had in plenty of other places/from the brewery and doesn't taste like how it did). When I told the bar staff they tried it they said it was fine. I suspect the lines hadn't been cleaned properly which is a shame for a pub like this which should be serving their beer properly; having staff assume that the beer is fine because that's how it tastes here is frustrating. Despite only having a couple of beers each, all four of us that were there felt terrible the next day so I do suspect that something was wrong with the lines. As the only specialist beer bar in the area it's a shame that they don't take more care around how they keep the beer

They have a good, wide selection of beers and ales. They allow you to bring food in.

Best craft pub for miles around, particularly on range and price point. Ignore the queues for the bar and take your place as you would in any other boozer. X

Great staff with excellent craft beer selection!

A pub for those that like craft ales and beers. They sell some major European brands but don't expect a pint of carling in here. Younger crowd generally and decent vibes. Some of the beers in here can be tested before buying. Just ask the staff The pint I had was 9.90 per pint but the staff do warn you before a purchase. The staff here were fantastic and just really helpful and pleasant. The toilets are downstairs just people are aware. This is a great location and there are loads of other pubs, restaurants and takeaways in this area so there is plenty going. Also on a major bus route so you can get there easily. Highly recommend this bar.and enjoy visiting.

Excellent selection of wines and beers. Had a lovely chilled red and an orange wine on tap - the latter was great! The atmosphere is nice. Would definitely return.

It's a beautiful, cozy, modern pub that suits every season. The beers are nice but very crafty, so don't expect many options if you prefer something on the milder side. The best thing about this place for me (and many other locals i'm sure) is that you can bring in food from the local restaurants and eat it in there with a pint. There is something really pleasant about enjoying a freshly made falafel wrap or pizza with a cold beer sitting at one of these nice tables, or out on the street if it's a nice day. Not many outdoor seats, but where it is situated there is a nice little curb to sit on and it is nicer than it sounds. Right beside the local leisure centre, it feels core to the neighborhood.

Great variation of craft beers in the heart of Camberwell. Good atmosphere and usually busy. The best falafel/shawarma place next door is a bonus

It's a cool bar with an enormous range of beers on tap. Usual Camberwell crowd. Fast, friendly service I like it.

Great selection of craft ales. Every time I've been I've noticed the selection does tend to be on the stronger side. Great if you like imperial stout or double IPA ;-)

Nice relaxing pub, good beer varieties here too!

Love the place and the vibe.. excellent beer selection which keeps changing every few months - one of the few pubs which has a Trappist beer on tap… allows you to bring food from outside - what’s there not to like?!

Excellent selection of beers on keg and cask. One beer served to us appeared slightly oxidised, but tasted fine.

Bought a pint and it was totally off, barmaid didn't care at all, and the one were given in replacement was also totally off, not ok

5 stars for the superb beer choice, but it does smell a bit musty inside! The smell I can soon get over...far worse places. Will be back.

I really want to like this place. It has great beers but every time I visit it stinks of line cleaner/damp and the staff are so miserable. Great beers though!

It's okay except for a bit of a rag smell from the beer tap area. lol

Excellent trappist beer range 💯🔥💫 Never seen the Westmalle Dubbel on tap before!

Lovely pub large range of beers and ales, to drink in or take away. Whoever does the ordering knows there stuff

Nice selection of beers including gluten-free. The Atmosphere is excellent, no TV's to disturb you and your friends. No food is served here, but you can bring food in. Dog friendly, and those little things called baby's.

First visit. Impressed with the wide selection of predominantly artisan/craft beers and ales. Never previously encountered the Modern Sour Beer by Vault City (? Of Edinburgh) described as 4.5% Pastry Session Sour! Remarkable.

Packed Friday night in January. Decent draught menu on beer front at least.

Didn't order food. The drinks selection is probably the best I've seen in London. With amazing smaller breweries like Pressure drop, Deya, and Cloud water. Service was great, if only they have more than one staff that day, the poor man had to run up and down and serve a dozen of customers. Oh prices are on the more expensive side.

I love this pub and go a lot, unfortunately the past two times I went in (didn’t stay) the place STANK of the toilets… pls sort it out guys :(

Fun spot, a great array of ales on offer. Had a quick drink in here while waiting for a reservation at a local restaurant. If in the area would go again

Good quality beer but £9 pint for Beak IPA which didn't have a particularly high alcohol percentage seemed steep. Why is that pint in particular so expensive?

Seriously, this place is ridiculous. They have some of the best beer in London, but it’s either warm on the shelf or hidden in a fridge away from the view of everyone. Nothing has a price on it and it’s just luck if your beer is available. The taps are mostly hazy nonsense or fruity nonsense. Oh and it’s always understaffed. Still love it though.

Favourite pub in Camberwell! Great Atmosphere and great range of beers

Great selection of craft beer, lovely staff and cosy atmosphere

The beer is the highlight here, everything else is a little bit meh. One member of staff on on a Friday evening around 6:30pm. Probably needed to be 3. Some really amazing Belgian beers in the fridges, but no price list. I'll be back to give it another go, though!

Nice pub down the road, they have very nice selection of beers on tap and also bottled.

Extensive selection of excellent beers. Edit: just as good as ever! Edit 2003: still great!

Helpful staff and a nice atmosphere

Letting people eat a falafel and Shawarma from next door is genius

Great pub. They do really decent beers, their staff are friendly and you can bring in a super cheap falafel wrap from falafel and shawarma next door 👌👌

Great hub to try lots of craft beers and meet up with friends. Quite an alternative spot, with a cool vibe and plenty of taps on rotation. You won’t find any industrial beers at all! Lots of space and they allow you to bring in food from nearby shops as they don’t have a kitchen which means you can get a kebab, a pizza or whatever else and comfortably still be able to have your drinks! Prices aren’t extreme but of course you pay for quality here. Some outdoor space but fairly limited in terms of seating. Well recommended

Always a ton of interesting beers on tap and bottled- albeit some pricey ones. A really fun and casual place - with something for everyone. You can also bring your own food. Really like it here!

Ever changing beer menu. Huge choice and always tasty

Great pub. Nice atmosphere and good drinks. Highly recommend

Good pub open late mid-week. Wide array of beers to choose from. Sofas & table seating

Great craft beers and such a great chilled vibe. Loads of huge windows, lots of space and light and really friendly staff. I’d say they had around 8-10 kegs and about 4-5 casks. 👍

What a nice place. the range of beers is really good and not too bad for prices. You can even get a pint of Imperial Stout for £12 if you are that crazy. Had two sours on tap and let my wife try them both first before she decided which to buy and a lot of local beers too like Kernel and Orbit. Well worth a visit if you are in Camberwell area or even on the way to Peckham

Great pub, but need to deal with the toilet smell.

Great selection, didn't have any cider on draught when I visited but seems like they usually do.

Your beers are great but what happened to the amazing Victoria lavatories? They were an architectural masterpiece!

Great selection of beers, cosy atmosphere, helpful staff. Great for getting a pizza from places around and having a nice time with friends.

Such a lovely chilled out pub, great rotation of beers on cask and keg, no music for chats!

Great selection of beer, expensive-ish. Sometimes there's no music for some reason.

Great Beer selection, friendly service. No food, but great restaurants around and you can bring food in. Let us take the kids in with us.

A little bit of an institute in Camberwell, unassuming, informal boozer that is a perfect spot for a cold pint of a lovely array of beers or a simple wine, great place for pre dinner tipple.

Good pub, really nice atmosphere, excellent beer selection

Very decent array of beers on tap. Lovely orderly queue to the bar

Great selection of craft beers on loads of taps and some great bottles and cans too.

Good selection of beers and nice relaxed environment!

Beer selection amazing. Only lost a star as it’s always cold in here. Sat with coat on every time I go. Staff are friendly

Unbeatable menu of microbrewery beers. Reasonably priced compared to competitors, too.

Great pub with a cracking beer selection

First visit here, nice pub with great options. You’re also allowed to bring food in from the restaurant next door. Banging.

Excellent range of craft beers that are always changing

Very nice place with a the right vibe. Like the IPAs.

Best beer. Great service. Good neighbourghood

A good vibe, a great selection of beers and friendly and knowledgeable staff. I wish I could remember the name of the beer because it was delicious and 'only' £6 a pint, which was a bit less than I was expecting.

Lovely craft boozer although beggars outside were constant. Not the pubs fault but was annoying after a while.

Good drink selection and good service so I was happy! The bartender went above and beyond.

Good selection of beers, you can also bring your falafel and shwarma in to eat!

One of my favorite pubs! They have a great selection of craft beer! There prices are a little better than the Craft beer chain. Order food for take away because you can eat it there!

Great choice of beers, and love the little corner seat in the window - perfect for Camberwell people/traffic watching

The best beer and the best prices in Camberwell, they even take card these days!

Just as good as it was when I first visited years ago, if not better. Easily one of the best craft beer pubs this side of SE

Very pleasant few hours necking a variety of pints in this lovely place.

It's a really nice pub. Can't really find a reason to give it less than 5 stars so I'll definitely visit it again.

This place has great beer and is very lively- but when busy the acoustics make it impossible to have a conversation!

Lovely pub right in the middle of busy Camberwell perfect for a drink in good company. The manager was really patient with us and gave great beer advice. You can also bring in your own food from the surrounding places.

Great local pub with orbit beers on tap

Great place for beer lovers. Wide selections of beers and a cool modern atmosphere in the vibrant Camberwell quarter.

Nice vi e, gets busy in the evening. Friendly staff.

Always an excellent selection and friendly service from the bar staff. As my mate that lives in Camberwell says, this is the best pub in Camberwell

The Funky monkey no more. Popped in on a Sunday evening, enjoyed the ambiance and good selection of ales.

Good fun, good beer. But shut too early

Very friendly staff, wonderful ambiance. Good selection of beer.

A very nice, trendy, young, but not too hipster vibe.

So the beer selection here is excellent, as is the location (bring a falafel and shawarma in, or sit out in the summer in the glow of Theo's / Hermits Cave etc.). There's something unfinished-feeling about the vibe, the wooden tables and all. Probably the only thing missing, but given a do-up (or if you don't mind the slightly charmless vibe) this is a seriously good gaff.

Tasty beer, good vibe well done guys :)

Very good Camberwell pub. 3 or 4 cask ales usually available frequently including a stout or porter. Lots of craft beers - including many unusual ones - also served. A good selection of bottled and canned beers as well. A few tables outside.

Always love getting a pint at Stormbird

Possibly the best pub in South London. Excellent atmosphere, really good variety of cask, keg, and bottled/canned beers. Helps that it's certainly on the more affordable end of the spectrum as well.

Vying for the pub with the most beers but longest wait to buy them. 6.40pm on a Saturday; one less than energetic barman and a queue of pissed off punters giving up as they queue out of the door before heading elsewhere - this one sadly included.

Lots of good beers on tap, regular change in selection

Great pub with amazing beer selection, also able to bring food in which is great as there's loads of amazing takeaway options nearby

Always a couple of sours on tap and a handful in bottles. A gem of SE and Camberwell.

Yes what a place. Dont drink a 1/3 though . Great beers and super friendly.

This is a beer drinkers pub great 👍

Super Friendly pub with nice selection of beers . Definitely one to visit of you are around Camberwell or Denmark hills.

Is there a better taplist in London?

Great drink selection and service

Interesting range of beers, and with 1/3 pint glasses available, it was easy to make our way through a few different drinks!

Lovely little craft beer pub in Camberwell with an impressive craft beer menu, the cask beer was particularly well looked after and they had some great beer from Orbit who are only a few minutes up the road in Walworth.

Always a brilliant real and craft ale selection
