A small but almost perfectly formed beer shop and bar . On every visit I'm reminded of how well curated their beer selection is. If you're a lover of big juicy hazy ipas then look no further . One of the biggest issues is that it's a very hard place to leave. Oh and of course they have any other styles of beer available other than ipas . Highly recommend
A community gem and a stonking craft beer bar. Love to spend my time here with the staff and the regulars. Penge is full of good people and I swear a whole load of them gravitate to Craft! Must be something in the beer ...
Fantastic selection both on tap and in the fridges, friendly and welcoming service from the owner and the other staff. Definitely a brilliant addition to the local area. Edit: updating my review 5 years on from opening, the beer selection has gotten even better, with a brilliant curated tap list and fridges of UK and imported beers, meads and the odd cider. Food can be ordered in from yard sale and such a great community of locals
Fantastic craft beer emporium in Penge - relaxed, ambient surroundings complement whichever beer you're quaffing - fully stocked fridge and a good mix of accessible and adventurous beers on tap. Friendly staff happy to recommend and schooners too. Plus online delivery of the latest and greatest - I will return no doubt...
Cosy and relaxing place for a casual beer. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. They're serving great variety of beers. Atmosphere was cool and friendly with positive vibes. Right in Penge High Street and not far from train station.
Such a cosy and relaxing place to sit for a casual beer. The bartender knows all of his beers very well and can give recommendations. They’ve got a great variety of beers for every taste (yay!!) Looking forward to the next visit. My only issue was the lack of regular chairs. The high metal stools were not comfortable for long.
Nice wee beer stop is this. Great selection of local and imported brews to try. Almost too many to choose from!! 12 taps on when we popped in, with some excellent pales and IPAs to sample. You can get a schooner here too, which appeals to me. There's a few tables for sitting and scoffing, and the prices are quite reasonable for a craft beer house.Good service. Knowledgeable bar keep. Decent tunes playing as well.Definitely worth stopping in for a few quality beers. Dog friendly.
Had my 30th here a couple of weeks ago. Huge upstairs space so feels very private. Oli was great on email for organising, two staff members behind the bar were brilliant and attentive all night. Had my own music on speaker, huge screen for rugby beforehand, darts, beer garden. Couldn’t ask for more! Thanks
Amazing place to grab a drink or in our case to host a party! Oli and the team were amazing at making sure our birthday party on the mezzanine went smoothly - really friendly staff & we were able to decorate how we liked, play our own music, use the retro games & dart board and order in great pizza from Yard Sale Pizza. Would definitely recommend for anyone having an event or just to drop in for a drink. Known for the beer but wine & cocktails were fab too (can recommend the espresso martini..!)
What a fabulous discovery to find this place, as a North Londoner, I don't usually travel south. This place convinced me to do it more.A reunion party to top all, Oli was a fantastic host, looked after everyone who turned up, friendly and fast service, no matter how many wanted to get served, you were given a cheery welcome at the bar.Wide range of beer, great atmosphere, welcoming staff, well priced and well stocked, what more do you need! Would definitely visit again.Thanks for being such a great bunch of people.Linda
Such a wonderful find in Brixton - this cosy craft beer venue under the arches. Friendly and passionate owners, great craft beer, wonderful organic wine and a huge space which is perfect for group gatherings. We hosted a work reunion for 100 people there and it was just perfect. Highly recommend.
I’ve been going to Craft Metropolis in Penge (regularly!) for years but went to CM Brixton last night to watch the Euros on the big screen and it’s really fun here too: friendly staff, comfy seating, expansive space, loads of nice snacks, the ability to order in Yard Sale Pizza and an excellent range of beers, wine and cocktails too. Nice!
