The Temple Brew House in City of London, Westminster

Great beer, very disappointing food. Drinks: very good choice of beers, including their own brews. But no coffee/tea and very limited choice of soft drinks. Food: fish pie was tasteless with overcooked hard prawns and not very nice melted cheese on top. Fish and chips: haddock very small portion and way overcooked but the chips were nice. Didn't care much for the decor, overdone "shabby chic".

Great food, great service, especially when served by Hugh!

Weird beer selection for a supposed brew house - no strong beers, no DIPA or NEIPA, basically everything between 0-5.2%. Odd not to provide choice!

Very nice place. Best gluten free fish and chips !!

Met some friends here for the Monday night pub quiz. We reserved a table and I'm glad, because for some reason a ton of people came in around 18:30 and took up all the available space/stood around the bar. They looked like students maybe, but I don't think it was typical for a Monday night. Luckily most of them left when the quiz started so we could actually hear the questions. The bartender, Hugh, handled the busy bar well, and was very friendly and helpful, recommending different beers to try from the many they had on tap. Next time I'm in London I would definitely go back here :)

Perfect British food and drinks: gluten free fish and chips was amazing! The waiter was very nice. I’ll come back

I just loved this brewery, very cool, great beers and the bartender was super nice

Great choice of craft beers ,great bar, great staff . We will back very soon . Dog friendly Follow us at @jeffthebeerbloggingbeagle

Nice pub close to KCL. Good selection of craft beers.

Good place to have your well-deserved beers. Good craft beer catalog.

Beautiful hidden gem with lovely staff and great selection of pints

Lovely underground place with a cracking beer selection.

Amazing bar! Great selection of beers, super cute place and good atmosphere, but the best is the staff, so lovely and helpful !

Came here with family. Great choice of beers, lovely atmosphere and a warm, friendly manager behind the bar. He was really knowledgeable about the drinks. Will come again for food. Frankly would come back based on his service alone. What a gem of a guy!

Fine place with some home brewed beers, but be aware other than that they're no independent craft beers on taps, just the mainstream ones

We celebrated a birthday here recently with a group of about 25 people. Everyone had a really great time. We enjoyed playing darts and table football, and it was great that the Olympics was on in the background. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which is really appreciated when organising a get together like this! The selection of beer was very good, there was something for everyone. A few of us ordered food which came out fast and was tasty. Highly recommend this place for a small event, or for casual drinks. A hidden gem! 🌟

If you love your beers, sports and pub food in a typical London pub setting, you cannot go wrong here. Add to that excellent and caring customer service. Be it drinking water, sparkling water or beer, the policy and behaviour of the staff is something that you rarely find in the city of London. The variety of beer served and its quality is exemplary too. Yummy hot wings too. Keep it up guys - you are doing something right (and different), which works!

Nice basement bar with a variety of beers on offer

My son subscribes to beer 52 craft beer website. They provided a tube map with micro breweries near to tube stations. We visited, close to temple tube. We were the first in on a Sunday. Friendly staff very helpful . We tried their cask ales all very good. The coffee latte was exceptional

Great pub, great selection of beer and discount for Kings College students and staff The nice people who work there rounded off the evening

There are several options and the wheat one was delicious. The place is noisy but that's the idea

Great place in Temple area . We were at a Private drinks events and the food and drinks here great

Had a quick pint here. Decent beer and friendly staff

Brew pub in the Temple area of London, just down from the Royal Courts of Justice. A very good selection of both cask and keg beers brewed on the premises. The bar sits below street level. Friendly and informative staff and Camra discount given.

Great little bar, didn't eat so not sure what the food is like but fantastic selection of beers and ciders, decent pub

Fab little bar, nice selection of ales and ciders. Football on the tvs. Quirky place, definitely recommend. Go down the stairs and into the bar. Fantastic find

So, a visit to this spacious underground bar was booked in advance to watch the rugby. Nice table allocated in front of an adequate TV screen. Large range of drinks and food here, including Guinness, and food was tasty and plentiful. Not cheap but discounts can be had when using their app to order with accumulated points per order. Quick service when app ordering. 1 member of staff however did not know how online orders worked and discarded 1 order and delivered our drinks to another customer on another order (who happily drunk them for free). On these occasions, we had to visit the bar to point out the mistakes. Another let down, was no greeting on arrival, venue was fairly empty and initially felt quite hostile, male staff member/supervisor was grumpy and not friendly at all. Otherwise a pleasant visit with improving atmosphere.

Great pub for watching sport, we booked a table for Six Nations right in front of the projector, the atmosphere was brilliant. The main reason im writing this review is for the Nachos... I've had Nacho's in many bars around London, none compare to Temple Brew House Nacho's. Our group of 12 ordered 4 portions of large pulled pork Nacho's, hands down the best Nacho's I've ever had, layered with melted cheese, covered in pulled pork, sauces and jalapeños, exactly how Nacho's should be! The large portion is massive could easily be shared between 3 people, highly recommend, I'd return just for the Nacho's.

Great venue, and reasonably priced for the area. Perhaps I caught this place on a bad day, but the beer offering didn't really meet expectations. Mostly macro owned offerings, despite a huge number of lines. I'll try again though.

Venue okay. You cannot pay cash. Manager of the bar seen to pick his nose when leaving the kitchen area numerous times and put me off the food. Although majority of the staff helpful I found the supervising manager to be aggressive when challenged about his hygiene habits. Needless to say we will not be visiting or eating at this establishment again.

Lovely place. Only negative was that app ordering didn’t seem to work, and I had city points to spend. Could this be fixed?

This is a refreshingly good place considering the area. Three home-brewed (on the premises) beer including a pale ale, a best bitter and milk stout all on cask. £5.50 for the pale was inexpensive (given this is central London). Don't be ripped off by the fashionable 'craft beer'. It's a really good real ale basement bar in an unexpected part of central London.

A different pub than usual, where the cuisine surprises you! Truly recommended, to enjoy a moment different from the classic tourist itineraries

Siamo venuti in famiglia per pranzare, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Posto molto tranquillo, cibo ottimo e porzioni molto grandi! Personale molto cortese e lo chef veramente bravo e gentile! Consigliato se si cerca qualcosa di originale, e con un’atmosfera autentica.

Delightful pub with their own tasty brews. Very happy to have found a microbrewery in central London!

My first visit (75 year old): packed with KIDS🤣,service spot on, Real Ale again spot on, it's a must if in area( being a CAMR member II highly recommend it)

Will have to go back here again with such a massive range of excellent beers and a wonderful space.

Food was very slow to arrive and when it did it it wasn't as described on the menu. Loaded chips was supposed to have beef chilli, but instead it came topped with a soupy casserole with chunks of beef and carrots which drowned the fries. We also had nachos. Both were missing cheese 😂🤦

Whilst strolling around, stumbled upon this place. Great choice of lagers, ales etc. Super friendly, helpful staff. Worth a visit.

Decent place for a drink and a fantastic choice of beers/ales for everyone. Service was good and ideal place to watch sport with so many TV screens

A fantastic venue with outstanding atmosphere, a great selection of of beers- some home brewed, excellent food and friendly staff.

An interesting pub, excellent beer selection, cool in principle but... but... 10£ per person per hour to play darts? It seems a bit excessive even if table football is free, hence 4 star!

Cool pub and great service from Gerran.

Amazing brews had the high court juice tice It's splendid and so extremely fragrant. Food was also superb can't recommend it enough

Lovely small breweries with 3/4 of their own brew available along with a host of others. Traditional pub games available to play along with multiple televisions. Only a small seating area out on the street. Brewing equipment on display for those intrigued.

Glorious pub, friendly staff, a wonderful place. Really good selection of beers on, also has darts+ table football. Air conditioned oasis when it's warm out as well...

Great selection of craft beers!

Place seemed nice enough and person behind the bar was friendly but, at just under £7 a pint, it was expensive even considering the central London area in which it is located. It looked like it had a free table football though which would make me want to return for a second visit.

A really great, and quirky pub, especially for this area. They had a great best bitter on which went down very well. A real gem of the area

Lovely little brewery! Highly recommended for beer lovers.

Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is the best!

Great pub. Beers, darts, food, weekly quiz, nice staff. Will recommend 👍

Ottimo e piccolo pub a Temple. Cibo delizioso, alette di pollo ben cotte. Hamburger molto ben fatto. Ambiente piacevole anche per una serata in famiglia.

Highly recommend if you love great beer, delicious food and epic venues.

From what used to be an amazing experience with a fantastic range of keg ales to a very disappointed generic collection of lagers and Guinness Only got more stars than 0 as it 2as once fantastic 😭 It was always worth the expense as it was a proper tap room. Now it is like every other pub in the area, too expensive with no choice.

No independent craft in sight. I should have checked before going. Assumed badly there would be some by the name. Live and learn. The TBH Neipa was about as close to Neipa as a stout.

Excellent tap selection, all draft beers available as pints, halfs, or two-thirds. Table football. Two bookable dartboards. I'll be back to sample the food!

Great beer, food ok but not why you go there

Nice pub but if you 'show live sport' you should put the sound on for English champions league games and not refuse when asked by multiple people

"shows live sport"... Just with no sound, even if you ask politely!

Really good pub with a nice environment and friendly staff.

Still not taking cash... I prefer to give my money to a business who is not assisting a slip into a 'digital currency' only world.

Amstel and Guinness are not craft beers. Poor selection of overpriced beer

A group of four of us sat down at a table, planning to spend most of the evening at this venue. It was busy, but there were still a few tables free. As we started to sort out what we were drinking, a member of staff, who immediately hurried away after doing this, plonked a notice on the table stating it was reserved... The time was now 1725. I looked at the notice and was really quite surprised to see it was for 1730 - five minutes time! The bar was quickly filling up and the staff member had literally run away so we couldn't query this with him. It was such a sour act we immediately walked out.

Got to say I wasnt expecting this to be as good as it was. They were missing a few beers but when these on they would have a v nice selection. Food good and was quick to table.

Beer was very good, but mislabeled: ordered a NEIPA which was clearly a weissbeer when it arrived. Food was overpriced stuff cooked from frozen. Ordered the fish and chips, which was fine for Bird's Eye but the tiny portion of mushy peas was dry and sweet (liked mashed petit pois). The automatic 12.5% service charge was also a bit annoying. I don't begrudge paying a tip for good service (and it was good!) but to have it taken when you order without it being mentioned was underhand.

Beware! Pickpockets frequent this bar.

After never having tried alcohol in my life, after asking for an alcohol free drink I was given an alcoholic sider which I paid for with my phone. They couldn’t refund me because apparently they take payments contactless but only refund to physical cards. The manager promised to sort it out but never followed up. At the end, I was forced to pay £6.5 to have a lifelong commitment to not drinking ruined by the bartender. Thanks!

Great service. Fish finger sandwich was awesome. 😋 . Always try to visit when I'm in town. 👍🏽

Great bar with a lot of craft beers in tap to choose from. Grest for watching football too, staff were cool as well!

Would be just another pub in London were it not for the incredible, personable service (talking about Bryan specifically), that makes this place exceptional. Will absolutely be back!

Had an incredible time, Bryan is a king - incredible service, would give six stars if possible.

What a find, especially for this area - a hipster brew joint next to the truly execrable Daley's Wine Bar...lots of beers on tap (I had the Deya)...wonderful space!

A beer lovers paradise! If I lived local this place would be a regular of mine. They have an awesome selection of craft beer. The food was good, my favorite being their korean bbq wings!

Bar is really cool . Beer is fantastic . Staff are funny. They seem love each other but hate the customer.

Staff that know, good beers for sale.

We had a gathering of people for a school reunion, we just used the pub, didn't have any food, but the staff were incredibly nice, and best of all, I left my phone on the table and the manageress actually bothered to phone me up to let me know they had found it and were keeping it for me. So lovely to know that there are people out there who will still hand something in, and people who will pick up the phone and let you know. Thank you so much (sorry I don't know your name). But you made my day a lot better.

The Temple Brew House should be your next evening out in town. The food was delicious and the drinks were fab, all reasonably priced. The staff were super friendly and approachable! The venue looked great and most importantly had such a great atmosphere! A little music would have been nice as background noise, though this may just have been off as there was a game on the TV, however this did not detract from the evening!

Loved the beers but sadly a cashless business so won't return again.

From looking at their website I expected a large variety of craft beer on tap and that was my main reason for visiting. Unfortunately most of the beers (keg) were what I would call mainstream or signs saying "coming soon". Out of the large ammount of taps (keg) there were only about 3 that were on and I would call craft beer. It's not the prettiest of bars but that's part of it character. I imagine it's a great place to watch sports and a good place to go with the lads. I would definately not bring my girlfriend or almost any females I know as I simply don't think they would enjoy its character. Though it's not a bad place to have a drink, if your after a large selection of craft beer in a less dive bar atmosphere search "brewery bar" on Google maps to see other options. I also recognise that I have only been once and may have simply timed it wrong for keg beers. I would advise giving this bar a go but if like me you don't find much of what your looking for know there are a few other options in the same area.

Friendly tolerant staff..great place for a meet up and good food

Callie was awesome . Made the experience! Would highly recommend

A pleasant surprise. A bit of sport (darts, table football and big TV), plus great beer and a cool venue. Result!!

Nice craft beer bar located a stone's throw from the old bailey.

Me and my hungry family visiting from the States popped in here and had a great meal and good drinks. Staff was super friendly, even reminding me that it might get a little "rowdy" for my kids (teenagers) when the match started later. My only regret was they didn't have a souvenir t-shirt in my size.

Sehr schönes Pub mit Craft beer on tap. Wir konnten uns fast nicht entscheiden, so gut ist die Auswahl. Super nettes Personal und die Burger sind auch lecker. Der Eingang oben sieht eher unscheinbar aus, aber dahinter verbirgt sich ein super Pub im Untergeschoss, also nicht abschrecken lassen.

Below street level between a pretentious wine bar and a pub with "cask ales" (whatever that's worth) is a gem! They brew their own beer and serve a nice selection of imports. Women bar keeps kind and friendly. Their in house Pilsner / Lager is a good hybrid. They also have other offerings including traditional pump ales. Very happy.

Yet another review of this fantastic bar. Don't miss out. Cask ales brewed on site by their own lady brewer. An amazing range of keg beers from a wide range of brewers. Food is great! Always recommended.

The beer is good, the food is good the darts were fun but unfortunately the lady working behind the bar was shockingly rude and unprofessional. We came as a group of 12 for my husbands 40th birthday. She would visibly role her eyes whenever anyone paused to ask the group what they’d like to drink, she’d take deep breaths visibly showing her annoyance and once even flopped over the till in a childlike tantrum. We were nothing but polite I honestly couldn’t understand it, I asked her if she was ok at one point as she was clearly very agitated. It was a shame as it tainted the night a little. Her behavior was appalling and honestly my 8 year old daughter has more manners.

Not open when their posted hours say they will be.

Super cool staff and the chicken kebab was really good!

Lovely pub was a lone Liverpool supporter and the barman made sure I got served 👍

Very friendly staff and might be good in winter but prices were quite high and no where to be if it is sunny

Really enjoyed this place. Excellent pint of Bitter!

This microbrewery is superb, we diverted here after a few pubs on the other side of the river. When we was walking up to it we wasn't sure, but as soon as you walk down the steps it's fab! Loads of choices of drinks to the extent we stayed here longer than anywhere else on our trip out. Also had some snacks here which were much needed after a few beers! Will look to come here again if ever in the area...!

Découvert par hasard! Une excellente adresse. Nous cherchions un pub typique pour partager un bon repas en famille avec nos ados… Cuisine très bonne, cadre parfait, bonne ambiance, accueil chaleureux et arrangeant. Nous ne pouvions pas trouver mieux!

Delicious beer brewed here. There is also a large selection of guest taps but I recommend trying their brew. Served with a warm, friendly smile. The Session IPA is very good. Liked this little hole in the wall brewery.

Nice pub offering good selection of craft beers. Their chicken kebab was tasty.

Trendy and cool beer den. The interactive darts addition makes it a great night out!
