    Such an amazing cute place! It’s mostly famous for the beer selection but I really loved their wines too! Discovered some delicious brands I haven’t heard of before like Renegade. The bartender is super lovely too and very knowledgable about the drinks.

    Lovely craft beer. No real ale, but very knowledgeable bar staff who seemed to thoroughly enjoy passing on their love for the local craft beer scene. Quite a small bar, but with an expansive choice of beers squeezed in, and a vast array of guns and tonics. Cosy atmosphere, and a great place to get drunk.

    Nice little pub with a good selection of beer. Good service and nice part of the city

    Best craft beer in The City but it's small and often lacking in buzz. However it's nice to have somewhere like this! Staff know their beer.

    Been here several times and they always deliver a super welcoming atmosphere. Nice choice of craft beers. Personally, I'm not a fan of the thin bench seating on the wall side, but doesn't change me wanting to go back!

    You wouldn’t expect to find a quirky little craft beer joint in the City and yet here it is. Beautifully incongruous and yet thoroughly welcome. Recommended for finance professionals who appreciate good beer.

    Used to be a regular haunt back in the old city days as the Arbitrager had the best (original) Guinness in town. Now an upmarket establishment offering a great selection of ales with friendly and efficient service.

    Excellent little pub with a great selection of IPAs.

    Small but very friendly watering hole with a great atmosphere and great staff (Arron!).

  • 3/5 Hans H. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and small. Big problem is they serve 2/3 of a pint. The price obviously isn’t 2/3. Annoying habit I am seeing more and more in more pretentious bars - this is not a pub. That drops points for me immediately.

    The Arbitrager is a tiny "craft" pub not far from Bank tube/DLR station. There are only a few tables on the inside and even fewer (standing only) outside, so it can get very busy very quickly. The pub offers a solid range of alternating kegged beers (see picture), but this place only serves 1/2 or 2/3 pints. Prices are elevated as everywhere else in Central London. Most of the beers are brewed in the city. If you can find a place at the table and if it's not too busy, The Arbitrager is a good place for a beer in the evening or after work, but not necessarily a place to linger. Friendly barman.

    Cosy craft beer place with good selection of beers, friendly staff and a great playlist to boot! I liked that they have tap takeovers and meet the brewer events. The antique map of London overlaid with modern breweries was a nice touch too. Had the IPAs from the tap takeover then which were yummy.

  • 5/5 Mark H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, great selection of beers.

  • 5/5 Joi B. 6 years ago on Google
    An incredible selection of beers on rotation with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The drinks are served in either 1/3, 2/3 of a pint which helps sample the selection!

  • 5/5 Barnabás B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little pub, with good service, nice selection of beers (and power outlets!).

  • 4/5 James M. 6 years ago on Google
    Great rage of craft beers, reasonable prices (£2.20 for 1/3 litre), nice decor and beer snacks. Also sell a lot of gin. Small place, but was quiet inside on a Friday evening.

  • 4/5 Rahul N. 6 years ago on Google
    Decent small pub with craft ales. Service is good though it can get a bit cramped up in there. There's always place to stand and drink on the road but as one can imagine, London weather is not always conducive to that.

  • 5/5 Cameron G. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice, off the beaten track craft beers in the square mile. Good for some interesting beers and you can hang outside on a nice day

  • 5/5 Thibaut R. 5 years ago on Google
    Small, relaxed week-only bar specialised in London local products: beers, gin and their locally produced tonics. Friendly and helpful staff and chilled out atmosphere away from the heavy music, noisy bars of the neighborhood. Amazing taste buds experience guaranteed
