    I no longer need to spend money on trains & flight tickets to Belgium when I want to sample some unique Belgian beers, as we have now discovered this amazing place! Great vibe, speedy & helpful staff, fantastic selection of beers (available for take away or drink in). Huge bonus is that they have a bike rack on-site! Such an essential feature for those of us who cycle, as we can enjoy the drink while keeping an eye on our beloved bikes. Dogs (our furry friends) are welcome here too. Disappointed in their food options though, as only hummus & olives are suitable for those who care about the animals & the planet. PLEASE add more animal-friendly (vegan) option to the menu. ;)

    Love it here and it's now been the second time I have been here with friends. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I love the dog friendly chilled atmosphere here. There is a large selection of beers to choose from whether it be a beer on tap or there is a large selection of beers in cans or bottles. The cheese board here is amazing, there is also other food like pork pies that are great too. In the evening there is a burger van outside that does great food too. Definitely recommend a visit here

    Fantastic experience at Beer Merchants Tap! I stopped for drinks on a Sunday afternoon and had a fabulous time. The place offers a great selection of beers 🍻 and several tables outside. Music isn't loud which I very much appreciate! Drinks were just wonderful and staff super welcoming ☺️. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend!! 🍻✨🍻

    An excellent beer destination. About 20 beers on tap, mostly keg with at most a couple on cask. Huge selection in bottle and can. Prices are all over the place, there are some great deals and fair prices alongside very expensive stuff (some overpriced). Service is friendly but at busy times they aren't always efficient. In terms of ambiance, this is certainly one of the more attractive beer places in London. It's a nicely renovated industrial kind of place, also has a nice outdoor area. Definitely worth making the effort to come visit Hackney Wick just to visit here, but there are a few nice brewery taprooms in the area as well.

    What a place to stop! I found this place via untapped while looking for a craft watering hole near to the Olympic Park. I was delighted when i walked past the gate. The outside seating is great for groups and couples. Decorated in a fashion I would expect from a craft bar. The inside did not disappoint! Upon entering you are overwhelmed with a ridiculous selection of craft beer from all over the world. To say I felt like a kid in a sweet shop isn't an understatement. The bar staff are warm and friendly. We went with someone who isn't normaly in to craft beer but the staff were awesome helping them. I must say a warning about here because you could easily spend thousands here! There isn't a doubt in my mind that the next time im in London I will definitely make the effort to come back.

    Where to start with the Beer Merchants Tap, or as it is more affectionately known , the BMT. This spacious and industrial styled establishment gives a cheerful nod to Europe with its Beer Keller tables and assortment of Belgium beers. This is a popular place amongst newly appointed Directors, who come here to celebrate their good works with the smoothest of stouts. Convivial conversation and an orchestra of taste can be expected in this special space. I would definitely come again.

    If you are a beer tourist and in London the Beer Merchant is on the list for must visits. Great selection of Uk craft beers on draft and in cans and bottles. Also features the best of beers from around the world. Cannot make it to Belgium? You will not find a better collection of the best beers from Brussels and beyond. The walls are lined with coolers of beers you can drink in or take away. The staff are both friendly and know their stuff! Plenty of space inside and out and with a three minute walk you can visit several other good breweries. Put this one on your list!

    They have a really wide selection of beers on tap and a really fun and active atmosphere. The staff was really nice, but FYI beer is a walk up to order and food can be ordered via a QR code and you will get a text notification when it is ready. I really liked their pecan mud pie stout. They have several chicken burgers and chicken strips and fries available for food. The fries were good and the Korean chicken burger was ok.

    Lovely place for a beer. Lots of choice, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cracking burgers and meat boards on offer too! Highly recommend!!

  • 4/5 Lauren and S. 8 months ago on Google • 277 reviews
    A very impressive tap list and some great options in the fridges. Some of the highest prices I’ve seen for craft beer though and yes I understand the costs but it’s still the highest I’ve seen throughout my journey. I recommend to come here.

  • 5/5 Bryan K. 8 months ago on Google • 254 reviews
    Great taproom with a wonderful selection of beers. I tried all of the Trillium, Widowmaker, and Burlington beers available on tap, and all were outstanding. As soon as I walked in, I thought, WoW!!! This is my kind of place and somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while. It didn't disappoint. Buzzing atmosphere of peeps enjoying their beautiful beers. Great layout, and I highly recommend a visit. Believe me, if you love craft beers pop along, you'll be back for more... I know I will 😉 🍺

    Cool bar with a lot of beer and cider options. We came after a long cycle for a cup of tea which was nice. The staff looked unhappy and they didn’t have milk but we only found out when the tea was served, so we asked them to make us herbal tea if there is no milk. Could have avoided the hassle if they advised they didn’t have milk before hand.

    Craft beers on point here. Tight food truck out the back with smash burgers to die for. Great spot before a spot of West Ham. Craft beers are varied (German, Belgian etc) with a nice hipster vibe to boot.

  • 5/5 Alan A. 1 month ago on Google • 102 reviews New
    Really nice place for a draft beer. For the one who doesn't like local craft beer there's a lot of bottles to choose from, even Belgian Trappist beers. Will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Josh S. 2 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    Huge tap list, fantastic beer garden and fab pizzas available down the road which they're happy for you to eat there. Really lovely way to spend an afternoon/ evening!!

  • 5/5 Hans S. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best craft beer shop in east London! Friendly staff, a cool industrial atmosphere and most importantly a massive variety of craft beer! It can be a little pricey but is usually worth every penny. They have a bunch of draft taps constantly on rotation along with hundreds of cans and bottles. Highly recommended for anyone who likes craft beer with good vibes!

  • 5/5 R 1 year ago on Google
    If you're into craft beers this is the place to come. A great range of drinks on tap plus hundreds of bottles from all around the world. If you're local pub only serves the same lagers, ciders and Guiness you may be overwhelmed! It's not for everyone but there are drinks here you won't find anywhere else. Definitely top end price wise though.

    Great place for a beer. Buzzing with lots of people and a great atmosphere. And a huge selection of beers on tap and in the fridges

  • 5/5 Kovács-Bencze B. 4 months ago on Google
    Huge selection of beers, international and domestic, craft and otherwise. German lagers are a strong point as well as Belgian beers and all the craft. Nice outdoors with a semi permanent food truck/stall now serving burgers.

  • 5/5 Paul 1 year ago on Google
    The venue has been open a few years now and has improved in that time. It offers a good range of keg beers and usually has two cask beers on (their condition is OK). It had a good selection of events on such as brewery tap take overs.

  • 5/5 JSG H. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to visit for drinks. Sit outside, drink beer or cider, pick some specialties from the fridge, share some knowledge with the bar people (shout out to Dan), meet some cute doggies, meet interesting people. Voila. Perfect night.

  • 5/5 Guilherme M. 1 year ago on Google
    If Disney and the World Cup merged into the beer category, the result would be Beer Merchants Tap. So many good beers, affordable prices, good atmosphere, great food outside. Definitely a place that you should visit in East London.
