Gipsy Hill Brewing Company - Taproom

Verified
4.7(582 reviews)
94/100
Gipsy Hill Taproom is a cracking little spot in South London for beer enthusiasts, serving up fresh brews in a welcoming, lively setting that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beers are absolutely spot on – fresh, flavourful, and with a brilliant range of their own brews plus some cracking guest options, making it a real treat for anyone who loves a good craft pint.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely; it's got that warm, community vibe with events like sports screenings, run clubs, and even collaborations with local food vendors, so there's always something going on to make your visit memorable.
  • Service is top-notch – the team are friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a chat, which really adds to the enjoyment of popping in for a drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit limited, mostly evenings and weekends, so it might not be ideal if you're looking for a spot to nip into on a whim during the week.
  • It's quite focused on craft beer, which is brilliant if that's your thing, but if you're after a more traditional pub experience with a wider selection of drinks or hearty meals on site, it could feel a tad niche.

SW16 Bar & Kitchen is a delightful little gem in Streatham Hill, where you can enjoy cracking food, cracking drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like catching up with mates over a good meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming and cosy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening or a casual brunch with friends.
  • The food is fresh, seasonal, and packed with flavour – think simple yet delicious Italian-inspired dishes that really hit the spot.
  • Service is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home, often adding a bit of fun to the experience.

  • It's a versatile venue for everything from weekday suppers to Sunday roasts, with a neighbourhood vibe that's hard to beat.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portion sizes can be a bit on the small side for some dishes, which might leave you wanting just a little more bang for your buck.
  • It seems like they might be closed one day a week, which could be a nuisance if you're planning a spontaneous visit.
  • The menu is fairly compact, so if you're after a wide variety of options, you might find it a tad limited compared to bigger chains.

The Great Southern is a cracking little pub with warm service and tasty grub, but it does have the occasional wobble that keeps it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile, like that chap Joe who handled a big group with ease and a smile.
  • The food is a real treat; think delicious roasts, spot-on squid linguine, and those steak nights that hit the spot, all served up with a nice touch.
  • It's got a welcoming atmosphere, whether you're popping in for a quiet lunch or catching the game on the screens – and they even show live train updates, which is dead handy.
  • The place is kept spotlessly clean, from the bar to the loos, making it feel like a proper cosy spot to relax.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be the odd mishap, like that intrusive photographer who doesn't take no for an answer, which might put a dampener on your night.
  • Food quality isn't always spot on; some visits turn into a bit of a letdown, such as when a usually reliable steak comes out all wrong.
  • It seems to have its off moments, especially with certain events or crowds, where things don't quite live up to the hype from previous trips.

The Rebel Inn in Streatham is a cracking little pub with a warm, community-focused vibe, brilliant for live music and events, though it does get busy and lacks its own kitchen.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing with live music, open mic nights, and fun events like quizzes, making it a fantastic spot for a lively night out.
  • It's got that real community vibe, where you can chat with mates over a pint, play board games, or even catch a film screening – feels like a home away from home.

  • The bring-your-own-food policy is a winner; grab a takeaway and enjoy it there with plates and cutlery provided – perfect for those with specific tastes.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty crowded during events, which might make it tricky to find a seat or have a quiet chat.
  • They don't serve their own food, so you're on your own for meals, which could be a hassle if you're not up for organising a delivery.
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent in the info available, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any surprises.

  • It seems like recent management changes have led to inconsistencies, making the experience a bit hit or miss at times.
  • The food isn't always available, so you might turn up hungry and have to look elsewhere if the kitchen's not up and running.

The Alma in Crystal Palace is a cosy, independent pub with stellar food and drinks that hits the spot for a relaxed adult evening, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea if you're after something more family-oriented.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – fresh, seasonal British ingredients cooked to perfection, with plenty of options for vegetarians and those with dietary needs like gluten-free.
  • They've got a cracking selection of craft beers, ales, and wines from small, independent producers, making it a treat for anyone who appreciates a good pint or glass.
  • The staff are so welcoming and attentive, always ready with a smile and top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
  • That beer garden is a real gem – huge, with shade in summer and heating for winter, ideal for soaking up the atmosphere whatever the weather.
  • It's a relaxed and friendly spot with a rich history, right in the heart of Crystal Palace, perfect for a spontaneous meal or a catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • As it's strictly child-free, it might not suit families with little ones, so you'll have to leave the kids at home if you're popping in.
  • With a moderate price tag, it can feel a bit on the pricey side for just a quick drink, especially if you're used to more budget-friendly pubs.
  • Tables can fill up quickly, so you might need to book ahead to avoid disappointment, particularly on busy Sundays or after events like the half marathon.

Cocktail Embassy is a cracking little spot in South London, blending top-quality cocktails with a welcoming vibe that's ideal for a chilled evening or a lively night out with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – they're expertly crafted, full of flavour, and not watered down at all, making every sip a real treat.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; they'll happily accommodate you even without a booking and provide top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's got a cosy, stylish atmosphere with a dark academia vibe, perfect for a relaxed date night during the week or celebrating with mates in a warm, ambient setting.
  • They offer brilliant happy hour deals, like 2 for 1 on cocktails from 5 to 8 pm every day, which makes it fantastic value for a fun evening out.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy on weekends when the nightclub side opens up, so you might need to plan ahead to avoid waiting around.
  • The location in Crystal Palace is a bit out of the way for those not in South London, which could mean a longer journey if you're coming from central areas.

Purkins is a lovely little local pub in Mitcham with a cracking friendly atmosphere, ideal for a relaxed catch-up over a pint, though it's on the snug side and sticks to old-school ways.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and regulars are incredibly friendly, making you feel like part of the gang right away – it's that warm, welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back.
  • It's a great spot for a quick, chilled-out pint, especially on a sunny day when you can enjoy a cold drink in the shade.
  • They host fun quiz nights once a month, which add a bit of excitement and make for a good laugh with mates.
  • The atmosphere is proper cosy and community-focused, like stepping into a real local haunt where everyone knows each other.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's quite a small space, the tiniest pub some folks have ever seen, so it can get a bit cramped if it's busy.
  • Feels a tad old-fashioned, almost like going back to the 70s, which might not appeal if you're after something more modern.
  • They only take cash, no cards, which is a bit of a nuisance in this digital age – always need to remember to hit the ATM first.
  • The toilets are on the shabby side, not exactly up to scratch, so you might want to keep expectations realistic.

Five Bells is a charming traditional pub in Streatham, offering a warm vibe, live sports, and delicious Brazilian-inspired grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is so welcoming and traditional, making it feel like a proper home away from home with a cosy fire and games like darts.
  • It's brilliant for sports fans, showing all the major events on four big screens, so you can catch the footie or rugby with a pint in hand.
  • The Brazilian kitchen serves up authentic and tasty dishes like shrimp pastels, along with fresh burgers and pizzas, all made on-site.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and the pub is kept spotlessly clean, which really adds to the enjoyable experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can seem a bit inconsistent with multiple listings, which might make it tricky to plan a visit without checking first.
  • It tends to close relatively early on some days, so it might not be the best choice if you're after a late-night spot for lingering over drinks.

  • The atmosphere is calm and quaint, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates without any pretentious vibes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit pricey, which feels out of place for a no-frills pub and might make you think twice before popping in regularly.
  • It doesn't seem to get much buzz compared to flashier spots nearby, so you might overlook it if you're not in the know.
  • Some folks have mentioned it losing its unique edge, which could leave you wanting something a tad more distinctive.

The Colby Arms is a cosy, welcoming pub in London with a friendly vibe, great drinks, and lively events, though it's not without a couple of minor drawbacks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Prices are generally spot on for a local spot, with pints like Guinness coming in at a reasonable £5, which is a bargain these days.
  • It's a fantastic place for catching all the big sports events, with Sky Sports, BT Sport, and more on offer – perfect for a lively match day.
  • They've got fun events like Killer Pool every Tuesday and a popular Monday Club, adding a bit of excitement to the week.
  • The drink selection is brilliant, with a wide range of lagers, craft ales, wines, and spirits, including some cracking seasonal specials.
  • Its location right next to Gypsy Hill station makes it super convenient for a quick pint after work or on the way home.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few reports of hygiene slips, like a barman handling garnishes with bare hands, which isn't ideal.
  • Some drinks can feel a bit steep, such as a small Coke at £6, which might put off those watching their wallet.
  • They don't serve food on site, so you'll have to pop next door for something to munch on if you're peckish.

The Holland Tringham is a cracking Wetherspoons in Streatham – friendly vibes, tasty bites, and wallet-friendly drinks make it a go-to for a relaxed pint or meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are always friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's spotlessly clean, especially the toilets, which is a real bonus after a long day.
  • They've got a great selection of affordable drinks and food – think yummy curries and pints for a steal.
  • The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with nice decor and a spacious indoor area that buzzes with energy.
  • There's a lovely little beer garden out the back, perfect for a cheeky smoke or just soaking up some fresh air.
  • It's in a handy spot near bus stops and the train station, making it easy to pop in after a journey.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed, especially during peak times, so you might have to queue or struggle for a seat.
  • As a chain pub, it sometimes lacks that unique local charm, feeling a bit more generic than a cosy independent spot.

Crown & Sceptre is a lively little pub in Streatham Hill that's full of character, offering great drinks, tasty grub, and entertaining events, though it's evolved into a more energetic spot that might not suit those seeking a quiet traditional vibe.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a lively vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates over a pint
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers and drinks, including specials that cater to all tastes
  • Live events like DJs and bands make it a buzzing spot for a fun night out
  • The food is delicious and reasonably priced, with options like tapas and burgers that hit the spot
  • There's a spacious beer garden that's ideal for enjoying a sunny day, and it's even dog-friendly so you can bring your four-legged friend
Areas for Improvement
  • The interior can feel a bit dated, like it's stuck in the past, which might not appeal to everyone
  • The crowd has shifted to a more vibrant, Latin-influenced scene, so if you're after that traditional British pub feel, it could be a bit of a surprise
  • Operating hours seem a tad inconsistent based on what's listed, so it's worth double-checking to avoid disappointment

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is a real highlight, with creative dishes like tasty tapas, massive Sunday roasts, and juicy burgers that are reasonably priced and full of flavour.
  • It's got a lovely community vibe, perfect for casual catch-ups, remote working during the day, or lively evenings with drinks like local craft beers and seasonal cocktails.
  • The atmosphere transforms seamlessly from a relaxed daytime spot to a fun neighbourhood bar at night, ideal for celebrations or just unwinding with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The overall rating isn't quite as high as you'd hope, suggesting there might be some inconsistencies in service or experiences that could put off a few visitors.
  • There are mentions of issues tied to the hotel side, which might spill over and affect the pub vibe, even though the food and drinks have improved lately.
  • Kitchen hours can be a bit tricky, with closures in the afternoon, so you might need to plan around that if you're popping in for a meal.
