The Doodle Bar

Not a brewery. Not trying to be. The Doodle Bar started as a pop-up in a Battersea warehouse in 2009 and has since landed in this railway arch on Druid Street, where the walls are giant chalkboards and bowls of chalk sit on every table. Craft beers, cocktails, ping pong, table football, burgers. The furniture is made from old boats, which is the kind of detail that sounds made up but isn't. Capacity of around 250, so it rarely feels squeezed, and it's a good pressure valve if your group has hit hop fatigue and needs a round of something that isn't an IPA.
