Crate Brewery - Tower Hamlets

Buzzing little bar near the olimpic stadium was packed the Tuesday night I went

Pizzas are good, but that beer is too expensive, more than £7 a pint is too much when other quality places near by are cheaper, I used to stay for beer , but now I might take a pizza and leave .

Nice enough place when you’re not dealing with the people who work there. Been about 80 times, and every time the staff at the bar are miserable and dismissive of everyone who dares ask for something. We actually joke about it at work (we’re local). And they have the cheek to ask for a tip despite us going to them to order. Then when you don’t they get even more dismissive. Zero courtesy, zero niceness, zero eye contact. And the worst thing is the pizza is routinely undercooked as well, which is a shambles. Hire better people who are vaguely happy to be there, especially as you’re charging so much. You can find nicer humans. Be better.

I’ve been here a couple of times now. Relaxed atmosphere, good beer and good pizza. Nice vibes with the music lots of outdoor seating with heaters and covers for the winter. River Lee views. Service is good, order at the bar and the thin crust pizza gets delivered to the table within 30mins. The pizza toppings are varied my favourites are the sweet potato with Stilton and the morrocan lamb. But the others are good too. The craft beer is tasty, I tried IPA and session IPA… both good. Highly recommended.

A wow place on Friday and Saturday would be crowded. And cheerful. Nice place to hang out with friends. Easily accessible from the railway station.
