About Brewery Tap
Low-ceilinged, traditional pub with a covered rear patio and live music at least 4 nights a week.
This traditional community back street pub is known for its live music nights during the week. There is a back parlour room that leads out onto a covered and heated patio. A narrow front terrace overlooks the street. The first Monday in the month is a music quiz from 9pm with a trivia quiz all other Mondays. The pub now serves Santa Maria pizzas. Sunday lunches served from 1pm. The pub was immediately adjacent to the site of the Grand Junction Brewery which was taken over by William Gomm’s Beehive Brewery in 1877. Later acquired by Fuller's in 1908 and rebuilt in 1928 by Charles Edward Mallows a well known 'arts and crafts' architect. It is raised above road level to avoid flooding by the River Brent during high tides.
Reopened on 10th December 2019, after a sympathetic refurbishment. (NB. internal pictures taken before refurbishment)

Great little pub with lots of ale options. Friendly staff and nice to sit outside. Those who like vintage cars would also like it here.

Shocking evening being charged £12 for a double gin (no mixer). The most expensive pub in the area and nothing to justify it. I'd visited in the hope things had changed since my last visit but definitely won't be back. Central London prices to rip off locals.

What a place! So friendly and great atmosphere. Old school establishment with a touch of class and a vintage car thrown in. Get here

What a great place, The Brewery Tap in Brentford. Also, a most perplexing pub as it forms part of the Fuller's stable and is hardly a Fuller's brewery tap as that should be The Mawson's Arms (Coach and Horses, if memory serves) just a tease to the Griffin brewery there. The Brewery Tap is a great pub of some heritage with plenty of space both inside and out, lots out. Lovely people and lovely beer that we expect from the Chiswick experts. A great pint and chat, thank you.

Unique pub setting with loads of classic cars dotted around. The only slight limitation was I thought the drinks menu was limited (maybe this is due to COVID and them having less items available at the moment). Be great to have an IPA available; only seemed to be Lagers or Real Ales.
