Birkbeck Tavern, Leytonstone

Improve This Listing

Traditional local (a free house since 1991), tucked away in the back streets near Leyton tube station, very popular on Orient match days with both home and away fans. The excellent beer garden is recommended for summer. Was taken over by Barter Inns in 2012 (now known as Town Centre Inns). Two separate bars, with smaller public bar on the corner, connecting round the back of the servery to a medium-sized lounge were the real ales can be found. Quite blokey, with juke box, sports on TV, pool and darts. Happy Hour weekdays 11-7 when Rita's Beer (Courage Best in Oct 2019) is £3 a pint.

Historic Interest

Originally established in 1881 by Saville Bros Brewers and later taken over by Charington Brewers. A genuine two bar back street corner pub little altered externally with decorative tiled fascia and ground floor façade.

Information for this venue is provided by the East London & City Branch of CAMRA
