    Very good Five Points Brewery pub about five minutes walk from Hackney Downs Station. Four cask beers - and two ciders - on handpump when I last visited including a porter. A few tables outside at the front. Interesting looking pizza menu.

    Probably up the in my top five London pubs, spacious, light filled, good location. Fabulous selection of craft beers, pizzas were very tasty. My only note was the bathrooms weren’t very clean but it was a Saturday night and the team was busy so it was understandable .

    Best pub ever! It’s our local but we would be sad if we ever have to move out to leave this pub. It has literally best choice of beer and pizza is insane especially during weekdays.

    Have heard this is best pizza North of the river and it’s in my area so decided to try it on my way home. Didn’t expect great things and it didn’t get off to a good start when I had to wait 30 mins from ordering to hand over. But the staff were lovely from recommending a good meat loving pizza option and then letting me know it would be a bit longer to wait etc. When I finally got the pizza they gave me 3 free dips as a kind gesture. Got home and opened it up and was pleasantly surprised! It looked amazing! 😍 I ordered the honey pie with extra cheese and extra pizza sauce. (I lived in NY in…

    Cool pub. Great vibe. Excellent beer selection from Five Points and other breweries. Drop Project West Coast IPA pictured. Bar billiards table is very cool, don't see that very often. Staff were a mixed bag, one guy was extremely funny/friendly. His female colleague, however, was grumpy, patronising and lacking in basic social skills. We all have bad days I suppose.
