16 Druid Street, SE1 2EZ
A community-run addition to the western end of the mile, quietly earning its place among the arches with unpretentious British craft ales.
Signature: British craft ales, rotating small batch
46 Druid Street, SE1 2EZ
One of the original five. Traditional British brewing with real heart — a warm, unpretentious place to start or end your day on the mile.
Signature: London Pale Ale, Bermondsey Best, Bankside Blonde
48 Druid Street, SE1 2EZ
The UK's first sake brewery, founded by a husband and wife after a trip to Kyoto — around eight sakes on tap alongside beer collabs, more restaurant than taproom in feel.
Signature: Sumi Sake, Kumo Sake, Fizu Sparkling Sake
128 Druid Street, SE1 2HH
An absolute gem. Pedro imports directly from small Portuguese producers and knows every bottle personally — two floors, a private garden, 4.9 on Google, and one of the best charcuterie boards on the mile.
Signature: Portuguese reds and whites, natural wine, cocktails, Portuguese beer
88 Druid Street, SE1 2HQ
The newest arrival on Druid Street, run by the team behind Hiver. A dedicated lager taproom — something genuinely different on a mile dominated by craft ale and IPAs.
Signature: Lager-focused rotating taps
56 Stanworth Street, SE1 3NY
Honey beers brewed with British varieties — sweeter than you'd expect, more interesting than it sounds. Also stocks a well-curated fridge of beers from neighbouring arches if honey's not your thing.
Signature: Honey Beer, Honey IPA, Honey Ale
118 Druid Street, SE1 2HH · The Arch House
The dark beer specialists. Their smoked porter is one of the best things you'll drink on the mile — twelve taps of core and seasonal brews in a proper arch setting.
Signature: The Porter, London Black, The IPA
80 Druid Street, SE1 2HQ · London Beer Factory
The most visually dramatic arch on the mile. Hundreds of oak barrels line the walls, 24 taps of barrel-aged and sour beers, and a food hatch. Come here to linger.
Signature: Chelsea Blonde, Beyond the Pale, Sour Solstice series
48 Ropewalk, Maltby Street Market, SE1 3PA
A French wine bar tucked under the Maltby Street arches, run by a sommelier with nearly 20 years of experience — fine and natural wines, seasonal small plates, and a genuinely romantic atmosphere. BYOW Sundays with no corkage.
Signature: French fine wine, natural wine, seasonal small plates
40 Maltby Street, SE1 3PA
One of London's cult dining destinations, hidden in plain sight. Located in the warehouse of Gergovie Wines — no reservations, no fuss, British seasonal produce with a continental edge, and seriously good wine.
Signature: Natural & biodynamic wines, British seasonal menu
132 Spa Road, SE16 3AE
Where it all started. Without The Kernel there would be no Beer Mile. Their Spa Road taproom is bigger, better, and now has Yagi Izakaya in residence — gyoza, udon, karaage — alongside 25 taps and handpumps. An essential stop.
Signature: Pale ales, IPAs, saisons, imperial stouts — always rotating, always excellent
73 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
Manchester's most celebrated craft brewery with a Bermondsey home. World-renowned hazy beers, usually the busiest arch on a Saturday, with happy hour pricing that makes the craft beer prices elsewhere feel even more eye-watering.
Signature: Hazy IPAs, pale ales, seasonal releases
72 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
A meadery that drinks like a craft brewery. Sparkling and still meads that are brighter and drier than the word 'mead' might suggest — one of the genuinely unique stops on the mile.
Signature: Sparkling mead, session mead, seasonal meads
71 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
Bristol's finest, known for natural live beers and a party atmosphere. Also stocks natural wine and guest taps — Revival and Return of the Empire are the beers to start with.
Signature: Revival, So'Hop, Return of the Empire, lambic guest beers
Enid Street, SE16
Thirty-plus taps of Dutch beer and absolutely nothing else. A wonderfully stubborn concept that somehow works completely — if you haven't tried Dutch craft beer, this is your education.
Signature: 30+ rotating Dutch craft beer taps
86 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
A wholesaler that opened its own taproom and immediately became one of the best stops on the mile — at least ten kegs plus hundreds of cans and bottles, including international imports. If you want something specific, they probably have it.
Signature: International & British craft, Tampa Florida focus, rotating guests
87 Enid Street, SE16
The closest thing to a proper pub on the mile — ten rotating taps, a small front garden, and a more relaxed pace than the brewery taprooms around it. Good for settling in.
Signature: 10 rotating craft taps
69 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
Pizza and a cocktail bar in a converted VW van — mid-crawl salvation. One of the best food stops on the mile and increasingly busy on Saturdays. Plan ahead.
Signature: Pizza, cocktails
88 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
Borough Market's cheese traders have set up an arch on the mile serving cheese toasties to drinkers. Exactly what was needed, exactly where it was needed.
Signature: Cheese toasties, artisan cheese to take away
92 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
London's only brewing incubator — small batch brewers learn their craft here, which means the taps are always experimental and always rotating. Also runs brewing classes if you fancy having a go yourself.
Signature: Rotating small batch, experimental styles
83–84 Enid Street, SE16 3RA
West coast American hop-forward beers — citrus, tropical, crushable. Doing well enough to have recently crowdfunded an expansion into another arch. Try the Tropicali.
Signature: Tropicali, West Coast pale ales, IPAs
Enid Street (former BBNo arches)
The newest cidery on the mile, opened in 2025 in the arches vacated by Brew By Numbers. A welcome addition for cider drinkers who've felt underserved since Hawkes closed.
Signature: Craft cider, rotating styles
8 Almond Road, SE16
Self-proclaimed smallest bar on the mile, tucked into a former Spartan and Partizan arch. Worth the walk if you're doing the full route and it happens to be open.
Signature: Battersea Brewery cask and keg
70–72 Verney Road, SE16 3DH
Low-ABV brewing done with total seriousness. Everything under 2.8%. If that sounds like a compromise, it isn't — properly crafted beers that happen to let you keep walking. Worth the extra distance.
Signature: Sub-2.8% lager, pale, dark lager
130 Druid Street, SE1 2HH
The largest free-to-join independent running club in London, with a bar open to the public. Beer, coffee, soft drinks at wildly good value — a genuinely community-run contrast to the craft beer tourism around it.
Signature: Local & international beers, coffee
60 Druid Street, SE1 2EZ
Two floor-to-ceiling chalkboards — grab a chalk and draw while you drink. Burgers, cocktails, craft beer. Takes bookings. A good option if you want a slightly more conventional bar experience on the mile.
Signature: Cocktails, craft beer, burgers & fries
The mile changes. These arches had their moment.
The biggest taproom on the mile for over a decade. Brewing moved to Magic Rock in Huddersfield. Their last day, no one behind the bar admitted it was their last day.
Left a two-kilometre hole in the eastern section of the mile. One of the more recent and more painful losses.
Not a brewery, but one of the best beer selections on the mile. The distribution business was bought by Beer 52; the taproom didn't survive.
The numbered beers, the saisons, the two arches. Moved to Greenwich, then went into administration. The name was bought and lives on, but not here.
Rent did for them. Brewing relocated to Market Harborough to survive. Good that Partizan still exists. Sad it's not here.
Micro scale, British hops, traditional styles. A quiet loss on the eastern stretch of the mile.
London's urban cidery, sold to BrewDog and then quietly shut. The mile has been short of cider ever since — Against the Grain is fixing that.
An early non-beer outpost that showed the arches could be more than just beer. One of the originals of the original Bermondsey Saturday scene.
