Exale Taproom in Walthamstow

Ah, Exale Taproom – what a gem it is down in Walthamstow. From the moment you step in, you can tell it's all about creating that warm, neighbourhood feel, with its mission to bring people together over cracking beers, tasty eats, and a bit of dancing. I've got to say, the beers are spot on; they're brewed fresh on-site every week, so you're getting that hoppy goodness at its best, and they've got a wide range to suit all tastes. Pair that with the food from the Whole Beast kitchen – those burgers and fries are absolute belters, though do keep in mind they're not on offer on Sundays. It's spacious too, with indoor and outdoor spots that make it versatile for everything from a quiet drink to a lively party, and they've been super accommodating for events based on what folks have shared. On the flip side, it's only open a few days a week, which can be a bit limiting if your schedule doesn't align, and it's out in a business park, so you might need to plan your trip a tad. All in all, it's a place that does community right, with a fun, inclusive energy that makes you feel right at home, but it's worth checking the hours to avoid any disappointment.
