BrewDog Clerkenwell

Another day another Brewdog opening and I’m thankful for Colleen C pointing it out to me as I’d have completely missed it was there (even though it’s right across the road from my hotel, which could be dangerous as I’m booked here to stay quite a bit in the comings months ;-))
Brewdog bars have evolved a lot over the past 3 – 4 years with the industrial chic look being subdued in favour of more relaxed places to hang out in where peeps might not want to sit on stools that they once sat on in Chemistry class! This particular branch is a great balance between the 2 styles — comfy yet cool and it’s also one of the most compact BD’s I’ve seen in my time (rent must be super expensive here, just try squeezing through the door on the way to the loos and you’ll see what I mean — quite reminiscent of Indy trying to find the ‘Cup of Christ’ in the Last Crusade)
All the usual beers on offer — we drank the BD Black IPA which was fantastic — they also serve Pieminister pies if you’re hungry.
Supposedly open until 1am, they said they’ll shut early if no-​one is around.
A good mix of tunes — Oasis, Radiohead and Beck were all standouts.

The New Brewdog in Clerkenwell is bangin’.
Amongst a plethora of great, old and established pubs it’s great to see the newbie on the scene here actually.
Love the beer selection and tiered setup inside. Libertine Black Ale, Punk IPA, Bavarian Ayinger and a bit of Jackhammer going down a treat. Wasn’t too packed for opening week on a Weds so liked the vibe of not being too packed. am sure it will be on Thurs or Fridays. It’s an office working area so presume weekends is less busy. A welcome addition.
