The Untraditional Pub - Pillars Brewery in Walthamstow

Ah, The Untraditional Pub – what a lovely find in the heart of Walthamstow's CRATE development. I have to say, it's one of those places that just makes you want to linger a bit longer, especially with their stellar selection of beers that cater to all tastes, from Pillars' own brews to unique crafts from around the UK. The outdoor terrace is a real highlight; picture yourself there on a sunny afternoon, soaking up live music and chatting away with friends – it's got that perfect balance of relaxed and lively. They've thought about everyone too, with child-friendly vibes during the day and plenty of food options from nearby vendors, including vegan picks. On the flip side, it's a shame it's shut on Mondays, which might throw a spanner in your plans for a quick drink mid-week. And honestly, while the atmosphere is great, it does seem like the place could do with a bit more TLC to avoid looking worn out. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a catch-up, as long as you pick your day wisely and keep an eye on the weather – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area.
