Review

London's fifth Draft House to open and the smallest with only 25 seats. This former boozer has been restyled to mix classic pub touches with splashes of colour from contemporary furniture. As it's so tiny this is the one Draft House that doesn't take bookings but if you find yourself standing for a bit the excellent beer will certainly distract you. Expect a similarly broad range of international and often esoteric draught and bottled brews, served in a range of quirky and elaborate glasses and other drinking vessels (including one where you have to leave a credit card to prevent theft).

For the hungry they offer a noon to 3pm modern pub grub menu of burgers, hot dogs, meat 'bombs' and fish 'n' chips. As chilled, unpretentious and simple as its siblings, this Fitzrovia venue might be small but it's perfectly formed: if you want good beer, come here.
