Old Street Brewery & Taproom Hackney Wick

Bar Brewpub

😠 Stood at bar awaiting to get served. Some form of running/get fit club turned up with probably 30 members. Who gets served first?? You get it. Could I get served? No went somewhere else. So if you on your own "groups take priority" People often mention beers, good, beer, staff, great, friendly, taproom, nice, atmosphere,

    An OK brewery taproom. Decent range on tap, I think around 10 or so. Beer quality is about average. Average prices, too. Friendly enough service. The venue has kind of a roadhouse aesthetic. I wouldn't say this place is a destination in and of itself. But if you are visiting the other nearby beer spots (Howling Hops, Beer Merchants Tap) and have a little spare time, it's worth popping your head in here.

    Small taproom compared to adjacent breweries, but is a lot less loud and hectic. Tasty Mexican-style street-food, nice beers with some interesting options and really nice artwork. Service has always been great - welcoming and friendly.

    This place is superb. The atmosphere is 100% US microbrewery taproom, whilst I LOVE the British versions, this is something special over here. It could be Ghostwood, Hudson Valley or Tree House. That makes it special here. The beer is adventurous and always interesting. A proper triumph of a taproom.

    Excellent beers, good prices and friendly staff in a relaxed atomsphere. Time passes quickly here. I reccomend Vlad the IPAler and 24 hour pumpkin people if available.

    Came here to watch live music. Nice, basic decor and layout. Rudimentary actually. Nice vibe of people though. The live music was great. Main problem: service staff at bar. The young guy who kept serving us was surly, rude and kept glaring at us in a nasty fashion. The wine gave us a headache (tasted bad and poor quality). Also no wine glasses. Serving wine in champagne glasses is just ridiculous. Charging high price for a Medium sized wine in half a champagne glass is just laughable.

    It was good. Not so good for the football. Outdoors uses a stream, so kept cutting out for the important England game!

  • 2/5 Christopher R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and good beer but really let down by the awful food. Soggy nachos and empty (veggie) quesadillas. Maybe the meat options are better. Poor street food at restaurant prices.

  • 5/5 oscar e. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely place! Booked a big table to watch the England game, spent a good 6 hours in here. Banging atmosphere, real friendly staff and reasonably priced beers!

  • 5/5 Eric R. 8 months ago on Google
    Great, sort of Southwest American vibes through creative decorative touches and architectural choices. Nice range of freshly brewed beers. Friendly service.

    Great beers, friendly staff and live music : what's not to love?!

  • 5/5 Martin l. 7 months ago on Google
    Had 2 excellent beers and very tasty fries sitting out in the sunshine. West Ham fans came but were well behave and enjoyed their beers, too.. Well worth the visit, and we will be back again soon.

  • 5/5 bob d. 6 months ago on Google
    Popped in for a quick one just before a West Ham game. Very friendly bar tender. They brew their own ipa on tap. Delicious. Definitely going back.

    Great beers and super friendly staff. Really enjoyed our time there

    Small brewery bar. Popped in for a few after a match. Good selection of own brews at reasonable prices. Friendly service. Would return to sample more of their selection.

  • 5/5 Katarzyna W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely staff, really tasty beer and great atmosphere! Favourite place for pint (or seven 😜) after work. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ju 1 year ago on Google
    Cool spot for a pint and some Mexican food. Shoutout to Marcos behind the bar who made me feel welcome even though I had come on my own! Good beers and nice food.

  • 5/5 Owlie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food, tasty beer

  • 3/5 Paul D. 1 year ago on Google
    The Beer and the atmosphere were both ok (helped by the Lionesses win!) the food was great and the barstaff seemed pretty hungover. It's very pop-up, I get it, I really do, but funky doesn't have to be filthy.

  • 5/5 Astromouse88 C. 2 years ago on Google
    The Hackney Wick taproom is the friendliest place in the area. A lovely team and always a great selection of beers. Plus the food from Scoundrels is fantastic.

  • 5/5 Robin M. 2 years ago on Google
    There's something special about railway arches and beer, and this place just confirms it. Tucked away down an alley off the main road, Old Street brewery makes a good set of beers, especially some strong IPAs.

  • 5/5 Florian W. 6 years ago on Google
    Cool place, nice staff, great beer!! Love going here, always a good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Paul P. 5 years ago on Google

    Excellent taproom in Bethnal Green, superb range of beers. Really good craft beer vibe, shame the Pinot You Don’t wasn’t up to scratch!

  • 4/5 Roger F. 2 years ago on Google
    Good crowded bar in railway arch. Trains can be heard running overhead, the music does drown it out a bit. Decent beers as well.
