About Axe
Boasting 22 beers on tap, this easygoing pub serves familiar British fare with a roast on Sundays.
July 2024 - The Axe now has cask cider. They had Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy on handpump on 21/07/24. It is listed on the board under the two cask ales and all three handpumps now have pump clips which seem to be used more in Grace Land pubs recently since the Duke of St Albans opened. They still have keg Sandford Orchards Devon Red on keg and that is listed on the main board with all the keg beers.
Grace Land, operator of the Earl of Essex acquired what was Jan’s Bar to take its portfolio to five sites. The lease was acquired from a private vendor for an undisclosed sum, the freeholder being the Wellington Pub Company. Reopened as Axe in May 2017 with a central bar, an impressive beer list of 3 on cask regularly changing (website has up to date details), 19 on keg and lots of bottles - a very impressive list. No clips but paper details slotted into board on the wall. A welcome change and return although the pub has no signage!
Before Jan's Bar it was The Cricketers a Watney Coombe Reid Pub (Sign still outside)
The kitchen is serving food from 3pm Monday to Thursday, from noon on Friday and Saturday, and roast on Sunday from noon till late afternoon (or until it’s sold out).

🚇 Stoke Newington 🍺 £6.50 Saint Monday Pale Ale The Axe is located just off Stoke Newington High Street close to Stoke Newington Common. The nearest station is Stoke Newington overground. This pub started life as The Cricketers built in 1896 by Watney Combe Reid. After a short period of closure the pub reopened as The Axe in May 2017, the pub is run by the Graceland Pub Co who also run the excellent Earl of Essex in Islington. This is a decent sized pub that has one bar set around a large island servery. The decor is traditional and quite simple in appearance. The walls are clad in…

Had a great Sunday roast, went for the veggie option which was a lentil and mushroom pie - which was delicious. We also had a side of the veggie stuffing balls and cauliflower cheese - one of the best I've had in a while. Lots of great beer choices on tap too 👍

Delightful local pub in Hackney, friendly chilled staff. Easy to get a seat indoors or outdoors in the nice shady garden. The food is very tasty and the chips are always piping hot! Tons of beers on tap and if wine is your thing decent selection there too! If you’re in the hood stop by the axe, you won’t regret it!

Huge selection of craft beers, lagers and ciders - something here for everyone. Food was quickly served, plentiful and tasty. Although we visited on a fruday lunchtime we had the place almost entirely to ourselves but it certainly won't be that quiet of an evening. Roomy and decorated in a way that truly represents a "proper" pub.

Came here last week and was really impress by the Sunday roast prepared here. I was quite glad the roasted beef were cooked perfectly medium rare and was really loving it! I could take a photo of the dish with beef itself but didn’t get chance to. The Yorkshire puddings was stunning and really loving this. I would recommend people to come here to those planning to visit.
