Pub in the [[Locale City|City]] of London. It was previously known as the Draft House Seething, but the Draft House chain was [https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2018/03/26/BrewDog-purchases-Draft-House-in-15m-deal taken over by BrewDog in March 2018], and despite [https://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2018/03/29/BrewDog-to-keep-Draft-House-name-after-sale an initial statement] that the Draft House name would be kept, by May 2021 this one had been renamed to the Seething Lane Tap. The comments below relate to the situation pre-BrewDog, and so some or all of the details may be out of date. It has a rather industrial aesthetic, with lighting provided by large "bare bulbs" dangling from chains, unvarnished bare boards everywhere, and four copper-effect tanks above the entrance, purportedly containing Pilsner Urquell. In good weather part of the front is opened up, creating a sort of small decking area that leads out from the interior. [[Kake]] visited on a Friday afternoon in August 2015. There were a fair few people in when I arrived around 3:15pm, mostly men in suits, mostly spread around in twos or threes, but still a good number of tables free. Music was playing, loud enough that I'd have had trouble following a conversation if I'd been trying to have one. On handpump there were five real ales and one cider: Tiny Rebel Cereal Killer, Adnams Topaz Gold, Sambrooks Wandle, Tempest Caledonian Blonde, Sun's Up Table Beer, and Sheppys Orchard Dew cider. The 16 keg taps included Camden Ink Stout (£2.40/half) and Hoxton Cidersmiths Michelin & Browns (£2.25/half). All cask and keg offerings were listed on a menu available on each table <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/20781830638/ photo]</small>, and all were available as thirds, halves, or pints. Service was friendly and efficient. According to the Draft House website as of August 2015, food is served noon-10pm Mon-Sat, and includes burgers, mains, and bar snacks such as sausage rolls and foot-long pork scratchings. Vegetarian options are scarce. On our visit in the same month, we tried a half pint of pork scratchings (£3.90) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/20977236381/ photo]</small>. They were OK, a less fatty and salty style than you usually get in packets, but perhaps veering a little too far towards over-browned for [[Kake]]'s taste. One of them was inedibly hard, too. Accessibility: A ramp to get in (right-hand entrance). The tables are fairly widely spaced and almost all normal height. Step-free throughout, and there's an accessible toilet.
