The Elm in Hammersmith

Ah, The Elm in London is one of those hidden gems that really stands out for its quirky charm and top-notch beer choices – I mean, where else can you snag a lesser-known Czech or Korean brew without much fuss? It's a cosy spot with a nicely appointed interior and the cleanest loos I've heard of in a pub, plus there's a sweet little garden out back that makes it perfect for a sunny afternoon pint. The staff are mostly spot on, friendly as can be, and letting you order in pizza is such a clever touch for keeping things casual. On the downside, though, one review mentioned a rather unwelcoming encounter that left a sour taste, so it might not always hit the mark there. And if you're a big sports fan, the TV setup is a bit limited, missing out on the big leagues like Sky or BT, which could be a letdown for match days. All in all, with a solid 4.3 rating, it's got more ups than downs, and I'd reckon it's worth popping in for a relaxed catch-up with mates – just keep your expectations in check for the quieter times.
