Hack & Hop

If you work on or near Fleet Street, say hello to your new ‘deli of craft beers’.
Smashing little pub on Whitefriars Lane, just enough out of sight to get in an inconspicuous half pint after/​during lunch without running into the boss.
They boast a plethora of craft ales, decent house wines, and a seasonal menu which I found tempting despite my hangover. I had a bit of the venison carpaccio which came with a tangy wholegrain mustard slaw and was better than in proper restaurants. I also picked at the little chorizo bites and sausages.
We tried about 3 or 4 ales, each in half pint measures and each were flavorsome and interesting. The Titanic Stout and Rooster’s Baby-​faced Assassin (yes, how good is that name?) were some highlights. Great cask ales from interesting breweries with catchy, inventive names.
This is not your an old punter’s pub. Here, you won’t find several sad looking boozers at the window sills with heads down into their half pints. It’s neat and clean, very parental friendly with both upstairs and ground floor seating. Our server was very friendly and chatty, which made for great conversation. You have an upscale and slightly hipster audience and a simple interior. Definitely a fan. I will be back to get pinty.

While staying at the Apex this was our neighborhood haunt. Great pub with a vast beer selection coupled with a tasty menu. Super friendly staff plus great ambiance make this an easy 4 star review.

Nice little pub in the heart of London’s legal district, just off Fleet Street. The service is good and the prices are not too bad considering the location although we all were a little shocked at the price of Scotch Eggs — £5!!! Admittedly when we tried them they were probably the best Scotch eggs any of us had ever had and they certainly filled you up!
The décor in here is nice and welcoming and this is a modern yet cosy pub. It is a great place to come for an after work catch up with colleagues or friends and have a few drinks or some lovely food or both.

This little pub located in a small street, in the heart of London is a great place to be. The waitresses are very nice, and the beers are very great.
After many hours of walk, visiting London thoroughly, we were very happy to find this cute and conventionnal English pub. We wanted to drink an «Ambrée» beer, but it was fastidious, so the bartender suggested us to taste many beers, and to find the one which suits us.
Very nice place!

Plus d’une dizaine de bières pression dans ce joli petit pub a quelques mètres de la Tamise. Les serveuses, très sympa en milieu d’aprem, vous aiderons a trouver la boisson houblonnée qui vous hydratera de plaisir !

Had a Scottish Egg for the first time — it was pretty awesome, but probably best to not know the nutrition information.
Had fish & chips and a burger that had bone-​marrow. They were both good.
It was nice to find a pub with beers aside from light ale, very light ale, light lager, and pale ale (which I’ve gathered is typical in London pubs… I’ve tried to find good beer pubs via online reviews they often have ~10 taps, but don’t have any IPA’s or Wheat’s, or non-​light-​styles). While Hack & Hop had the best selection of beers amongst the 4 pubs I tried in London, I still found it disappointing. Cities above 100,000 people in the US typically have bars with a better beer selection. The Hanging Bat in Edinburgh also has a much wider selection of beers than Hack & Hop.
If getting dinner on thursday/​friday/​saturday, call ahead and see if you can get a reservation. There is an area upstairs to eat, but total capacity of seats is ~25.
