About Dovetail
Traditional local pub popular for its big selection of local & international beers.
Opened in 1999, a Belgian pub. Quite small and very popular. No cask ale but some decent Belgian draught beers (a recent selection included Brugse Zot Blonde and Bruin, Chimay Tripel, Cristal, De Koninck, Delirium Tremens, Jupiler, Kwak, Rodenbach and Vedett), and an excellent range of a hundred bottled beers, the vast majority of them Belgian, including nineteen Trappists, gueuzes etc. Real ale in a bottle is available.

Class - where to begin? Tucked away in central London, me and my wonderful girlfriend strolled past and then backtracked to this lovely restaurant/bar. Service 10/10 fast. Beer 10/10 class. Food 10/10 even classier, pint of chips best in London. Mussels insane! Would have my birthday here. Thanks, I will be back.

The place has a decent selection of Belgian beer - around 15 option on tap and dozens more in bottles. There is no niche super craft beer but most of the really popular options are present on the menu. It’s not super clean inside and there were some insects flying around and interfering. When we came they did not serve food anymore which was fine for us but unexpected overall. The time when they decided to close the pub felt random too

The staff were great, gave some awesome recommendations that my partner loved and we absolutely loved spending a couple of hours here. We also ordered some fries....with cheese sauce and they were perfect! Its definitely going to be a favourite spot for us and we will be back very soon! We were going to pop in today - but sore heads today will prevent that - but definitely next week! Highly recommend the Mongozo Banana Beer, Delirium Red…

A great little pub with an excellent selection of Belgian beer. I've never seen such a big selection, especially on tap, outside of Belgium. Not only is the selection great, with seasonal beers, but Paul, who runs the place, is very knowledgable. He is also very friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to trying to figure out what to have next. The food is also good, and just what you need to go with this kind of beer. I've had the moules-frites on a couple of occasions. The mussle are cooked just right, very tender and flavorful. The fries the come with it are excellent as well. The…
