Pretty Decent Beer Co is East London's answer to the craft beer lover's dream, brewing small-batch hazy NEIPAs, pale ales, and approachable sours right in Waltham Forest. Their taprooms (including the Cann Hall location and the larger Victoria Park spot) are unpretentious, inclusive spaces where you'll find 12 taps of fresh beer poured through Czech Lukr taps for a creamy finish. The vibe is friendly and local, with communal benches, retro arcade games, and events like karaoke and run clubs that make you feel like part of the crew.
Solid East London Craft Beer Spot
Pretty Decent Beer Co is one of those East London breweries that feels like it was made by locals, for locals. The beer is consistently excellent, with a focus on hazy NEIPAs and pale ales that are approachable but never boring. Their weekly specials keep things interesting, and the Czech Lukr taps make every pour feel a bit more special. The taproom itself is a relaxed, welcoming space with communal seating, arcade games, and a real sense of community. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint after a run club or settling in for a longer session with friends, it's a great spot.
The food menu from Seouls of Mischief adds a nice touch with Korean-inspired burgers and loaded fries, though the real draw is the beer. They also do a solid job with events—karaoke nights, quizzes, and screenings keep the energy up. It's not trying to be fancy, and that's exactly why it works. Just a solid, friendly brewery where you can grab a great pint without pretension.
