Sometimes you go in a pub which genuinely makes you say “wow”. On recommendation from Dr Lovesale who heard from the landlord of the Dewdrop (Chairman of CAMRA in Erewash) that The Bree Louise in London was the best pub in the UK.
So when I was visiting my brother in London I printed off a map and dragged my wife over to see this mighty pub. It did not disappoint.
From the outside you know your in for a treat. Yes that’s SIXTEEN ALES DAILY. That’s as many as some smaller beer festivals…every day.
It’s not on a main street in London either rather set back a few streets from the insane roads full of cars. So it’s nice to sit outside on the benches if you can find a spot. Judging by when we went that’s unlikely at any time on a weekend.
Inside the decor is decent as above. Nice tables, chairs and carpet. Fairly decent toilets.
But you don’t come here for the decor…you come for the freakishly large selection of beers, wines and spirits on offer (mainly the beers)
There is a large selection of pumps and also a pretty huge selection of “festival style” barrels which are dispensed directly
The food is standard fare such as filled rolls and cheese boards but there is a wide selection of real meals available. Click HERE for the full menu.
Sadly I cannot recall many of the beers I had since it was a couple of months ago now but they did a great pint of Punk I.P.A which is one of my favorites. Generally all the beer was kept EXCELLENTLY which is what you would expect from a pub with such a wide selection.
The pub itself is a very short walk away from Euston Street Station (which is very near St Pancras where most trains come into London)
All in all this is a pub NOT TO BE MISSED and easily lives up to the reputation which it apparently has accumulated.
