The Longroom (Faringdon Craft Beer) Reviews

Not 5 stars because it's fancy but because it is just a great place to eat and drink. Nice staff, and much better than average food

Amazing beers selection - best in Farringdon - gets good sun in the afternoon too!

Visited recently, a nice pub setup in a place with history (The pub used to be a clock house and still has elements of its history in the pub itself if you look up at the ceiling). Lively instead of noisy, the inside had a good atmosphere.

There were at least 6 ales on tap, with more available in the fridges behind the bar. They also serve about the same number of craft largers. The ales I had were fresh / clean tasting and the lines appear to be kept well as no issues with taste.

The staff were friendly and professional and knew about their ales on asking.

Overall recommended and the variety of the ales on the pumps means repeat visits to experience the full range are likely

Small bar, with outside standing space in the good weather. HUGE craft beer selection.

excellent craft and task ale pub keeping old local feel with modern range and customers. bench mark.

Lots of beer. Tasty beer. It's not cheap because it's good quality beer.

Being able to bring in outside food from the market makes this an obvious lunchtime choice.

On a wintry Saturday afternoon, The Craft Beer Co was suitably packed with ale-loving types (luckily, we had the private room upstairs booked for a function). Unlike many Clerkenwell pubs, this one isn't centuries old but looks relatively modern. But if you're heading to this pub, it's for their carefully selected drinks selection not the wallpaper. I stuck to the Sipsmith vodka, but my beer and cider-drinking friends seemed happy with their selections (though a bit surprised at how little change they got from a fiver for their pints). The food selection is limited to pork pies, scotch eggs and posh crisps, so keep that in mind if you're heading here after work.

A great selection of craft beer from all over the UK in a traditional old school pub building.

Amazing selection of beers as you'd expect, lots of seating and not too busy on a Saturday night given its location in the very weekday focused Clarkenwell.

On leather lane the craft beer co has a massive selection of beer! The hardest part is choosing a beer as they change so often! Some beer is pretty strong so you might want to opt for a half at times.

Fantastic selection of craft beer for all tastes. The long bar, mirrors and all the character of the pub that used to be there add to the atmosphere although they could use some less hipsters ;)

Nice, lively atmosphere. Good selection of beer. Basic, but comfortable. Would recommend.

Well kept ale and great craft beers in a handsome pub. Beautiful mirrored ceiling. Avoid Friday evenings - the pub gets uncomfortably busy.

If you follow my reviews, you know I'm a huge fan of this franchise. This one is really charming, and looks like a pub you'd expect to find in London. Staff are well trained and the service is so quick for a busy pub. Again, huge selection of beers and you can buy the bottle or can to take away.

Great selection of craft beers, however due to the pubs increasing popularity arrive early if you want a seat.

Great variety of beers. Really enjoyed.Friendly staff

Bloody great place. Friendly staff, who helped to tell us more about the beers. Hugeeee range of beers/ciders/other drinks. Great pizzas from Terroni who also cater for those that are GF. Vibez were forthcoming.

So much beer. The upstairs always seems to have a seat which is awesome. The beers are plentiful and varied. Really great pub. The staff also are really nice (and fast).

Good beer selection. Terrible food served cold. Would benefit greatly from menu revamp! Good service.

Great beer, friendly staff, best pub chain in London

Good quality, large selection of ales and knowledgeable as always!

Fantastoc selection of beer served by knowledgeable staff. Try the scotch eggs '

Great beer and a good crowd on a Friday. Beer prices are slightly high but the beer is top quality.

Wonderful pub with excellent quality and huge range of craft beers, ciders and lagers. Well-informed and passionate staff make visiting here a joy.

Best pub in the area if you like real ale.

Great beer, really knowledgeable and friendly staff. You can bring in food from the amazing street food market outside.

Fantastic selection of all types of beer. Well worth a visit

I really like this place. There are a few of these dotted around town and the selection of beers is huge. Nice bar staff happy to let us have a little taster before ordering something. Good atmosphere too and quiet enough to be able to hear each speaking.

Extremely good selection of beer and ales. The hardest part is deciding what you want to drink. Not the most atmospheric pub around but with a visit. A big plus is that you can bring your own food at lunch and eat it in the pub.

Fantastic little bar. Amazing beer, friendly staff.

A large selection of beers, good beers, nice space. But the top is the staff: nice and quick!

Nice place with a wide selection of ales, stout and lagers, and expert and nice staff to help choosing. Go!

What's not to love. Plenty taps. Plenty beer choices and always new beers to try

Excellent choice of real ale and craft keg. Spare seats on the Saturday afternoon. Food is expensive for what you get.

Great selection of keg and cask beers, vary in price. Some start at a reasonable cost.

Hello real ale! Great selection of beers. A must for any pub tour of the area.

Great staff. Just wish they sold Guinness (never gonna happen)

Great selection of ales and craft beers, but a bit pricy. The sharing platter of bar snacks works out more expensive than buying the items separately in most cases. How do they get away with that?

A lovely pub: great service, a fantastic range and a terrific building to spend some time in.

One of the best beer selections in the city. Pop upstairs if the main area is too crowded

Great range of beers and you can bring in food from neighbouring takeaways.

No idea if they have food but the beer is awesome. Huge selection of great beer. The staff were cool and really helpful. Great spot for the beer nerd in London.

A place where you can get cosy with friends. Nice food and drinks.

What you find here: A large selection of craft beer, a friendly staff and pub-food.

Great selection of beers in a friendly atmosphere. You can also take in food from the stalls on Leather Lane

Really great selection of beers, although the music is quite loud. But we'll recommend.

Great selection of bottled beers and cans. Not so many runs, but all of great quality. It is recommended to arrive early because it is filling up, after 6 it is difficult to find a place.

Bit on the pricey side but beer quality is excellent.

If you love your beer/cider then get here, a fantastic pub with one of the best (and largest) selections on offer in the local area. You can't go wrong with one of their delicious pork pies or scotch eggs either.

Great selection of beers, lots of space upstairs, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and bonus points for allowing patrons to bring Singtong's excellent burgers in from across the road.

Great selection of beers and cider. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the local area.

Busy lively pub with terrific beer selection. All good, especially after the after work throng has subsided.

Omg this is a great craft beer pub with some amazing beers selection! Love the burgers in the joint next to it as well!

Probably the best "chain" of pubs at the moment for the proper beer drinker, this one is the one to visit if you want a quiet pint on a Saturday lunchtime. Excellent range of micro cask ales and plenty of pricey wierd fizz to keep the hipsters happy.

Tucked away but well worth hunting out.

One of the very best in London. Massive choice, knowledgeable, friendly staff in an interesting area off Faringdon / Clerkenwell Rd. The corner pub is a real treat, great mid-afternoon.

Great range of homegrown and imported craft beers at a very reasonable price given the location.

Great pub with a good range of ales & craft beers and friendly & knowledgeable staff. Could do with better lighting though! I dislike this dim light trend in pubs, you can hardly read the pump clips let alone see if the people you're meeting are already there or not.

An old fashioned street-corner boozer with a modern beer menu. Very good beer selection on both cask and draft. The can/bottle list was a bit out of date so some beers weren't available, however the bar staff were all over it to suggest alternatives which shows how on the ball they are. I've always liked Craft Beer Co. and this branch is one of the better ones I've been to recently.

I love this whole chain. Best selection of beers in London, and consistently good service.

A plethora of ale to stress test your decision paralysis against.

The draft setup looks great, nice to see them trying a different aesthetic than the traditional brass/stainless effect. The beer selection is extensive so it's a must visit if you want to try new and exciting beers

Great selection of beer, lovely bar staff, can be a bit pricey though.
