Hop and Vine in Pinner

You know, when you step into Hop and Vine, it's one of those places that just feels right – a proper multi-award-winning spot where the beers and ciders are always top-notch and changing up regularly, so there's always something new to try. I love how the team there are so approachable and eager to chat about their drinks, making it easy to find your next favourite. The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, with a little garden out back that's perfect for a sunny afternoon, and it's great that they welcome dogs too, adding to that relaxed, community feel. They've got events like monthly quizzes and live music, which really bring people together for a good laugh. On the flip side, it's a compact space, so it can get a tad crowded on busier nights, and if you're hoping for more than just cheese boards or crisps, you might find the food options a bit light. Still, for what it is, it's a cracking little bar that's well worth a visit if you're after good value and a genuine, welcoming experience in Ruislip.
