About Two Brewers

Long-standing corner pub with nostalgic decor where customers bring their own food.

Pleasant thriving backstreet boozer with a good mix of custom from local housing and offices. Narrow interior with side bar.

This pub was one of the houses where Whitbread Gold Label Lager (a real lager served by hand pumps) went on trial, it appears to have lost the case. One long bar with darts. Now Enterprise, ex- Whitbread.

    Nice pub not too far from work. Draft beer a bit over pricy but it’s a good place for after work beer.

    A quaint, Victorian dining room style, London corner pub. Bigger than most, without losing personality. Retained vintage decorative features, notably the patterned wall headers. Very clean and one of the most organised bars I can recall, there's pride in this pub. Good mixed of vintage furniture, especially the large wood framed bench sofas. A good selection of beer on tap and well stocked bar. Great rock and 60's sounds. A pub for catching up on the chat in groups.

    A nice region, neighborly pub, where it seemed like most of the patrons were regulars. They had a cider on tap, which is always appreciated.

    A brilliant little pub sitting close to the Barbican. Good beer, both on keg and cask. Lovely staff with great service. A good place for a pint.

    Traditional one-room corner pub on Whitecross Street. Benefits greatly from the Food Market as it allows (positivity encourages) customers to bring their own food to consume on the premises (providing they buy drinks, of course). So very busy on weekday lunchtimes - particularly if the weather is good as the street is essentially pedestrianised - so conducive for outside drinking. Good range of well kept ales and craft beers. Friendly staff. Good pub!
