OUR RATING: Chance It!
When is it not the perfect day for a pint? We headed over to Friendship Adventure Brewery this week to try some local beer brewed in Brixton, and felt right at home in this pub!
We love the atmosphere this brewery and taproom creates. The space reflects its name and its obvious Friendship Adventure cares about the community it’s based in. Right around the corner from Loughborough Station, this spacious railway arch-esque pub has tons of seating, with fun high bar stools and some spots right next to their brewing equipment, which was definitely a unique experience.
The brewery’s community spirit is reflected in everything it offers, as they showcase small businesses in they food the serve, the pints they pour, and the charities they partner with. The staff are super friendly and invite you to hang out as long as you’d like without nagging you to buy another pint, and they offer water and popcorn to boot!
Taking a seat next to their brewery equipment, we had to try a few of their home-brewed beers, although they do host several guest beers from other local businesses as well as a few varieties of wine. We tried a few half pints so we could get a better selection of what they offer, and we particularly enjoyed their Caper (modern pilsner lager) and their Headliner (big, bold, juicy New England IPA).
Did we mention this is a dog friendly pub? There were so many dogs that visited throughout the night, and it was obvious this was a place well-frequented by locals, as there was a very warm and welcoming atmosphere during our entire stay.
Final Thoughts: We definitely can’t wait to go back to Friendship Adventure. We’ve heard they have great comedy nights so we’re keeping our eyes peeled on their event page, and we’re more than ready to come back for some nibbles too. There are some fantastic local restaurants that rotate at the brewery, including Banh Banh, Baz & Fred, Black Bear Burger, and Rudie’s Jerk Shack, all reasonably priced, so we’ll definitely return for some great beer, some local food and a show!
P.S.: Looking for another Brixton pub to frequent? Why not try Hope & Anchor for a different pub experience — still a warm and social atmosphere but with a different style.
