Historical version 1 of BrewDog, W12 8QQ (view current version)

A BrewDog bar in Shepherd's Bush.

bob, Billy, Ilmari and friends visited on Wednesday evening in early May 2014. When bob arrived at 18:30 there were several tables free. Throughout the night there was nearly always some spare seating. The seating is mixture of banquettes, stools and high tables and normal table and chairs.

The interior has an industrial look at feel. The bar has 30+ keg taps serving a large range of beers from brewdog and other breweries. Most of the beers were quite strong with only about 3 being below 5%. The prices were about £5 for the measure they would serve it in. As the beers got stronger the measure got smaller. So 10% plus beers were served as thirds while 6%ish beers were served as 2/3rds. Although the beers we had were fine if not entirely to our tastes at time. When bob bought a half of the BrewDog cherry sour I was asked if I would like a taste first because lots of people supposedly find it odd. I declined and to my tastes it wasnt actually sour enough.

Food is Texan BBQ. Ilmari and bob shared a sampler platter(£23)photo and some fries with extra brisket chilli(£4 for the fries £2 for the extra chilli)photo. The fries and extra chilli were very good although the chilli could have been hotter. The brisket and sausage on the platter were pretty good. The rib and pork shoulder were a touch to dry. The coleslaw didnt really have much flavour to it. The beans were quite nice.

Towards the back there are 2 pinball machines including an AC-DC one. There is also 3 arcade machines. One being Space invaders and another being the Star Wars Trilogy.

Accessibility info: Accessible radar locked toilet level with bar. Other toilets down a flight of stairs in the basement.
