Dachkammer Bar
The dachkammer bar, buried deep in one of berlin’s suburbs is a dark, almost gothic wooden bar with a reasonable selection of beers including ones on tap.

O’ Neill’s Bar

Small cramped, in fact tiny, we debate about the fact that this might be the smallest o Neill’s we have ever been inside but quite quickly the smell becomes a little overbearing - we decide it smell like a slowly rotting old person. There remains a good selection at the bar and [...]

The Beehive Pub

A long narrow Wetherspoons pub on Brixton high street just a very short walk from the station down towards Brixton Academy. The service at the bar (which runs most of the length of the pub along the right hand wall) is fast and as with all Wetherspoons the drinks are very reasonable prices. [...]
