What it's known for
Half Acre's scrappier next-door neighbour: 16 taps led by Spiteful IPA and God Damn Pigeon Porter, darts and board games, and Pequod's pizza you can order in with your pint. Dog-friendly inside, with a covered patio open year-round. Open 3pm to 9pm Monday to Thursday, 2pm to 11pm Friday, noon to 11pm Saturday and noon to 8pm Sunday.
Open seven days, so it's the fallback when Half Acre is closed (Monday and Tuesday). The 50 Damen bus stops at Balmoral; the Damen Brown Line stop is about 15 minutes' walk south.
Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
