BrewDog Waterloo
There is a microbrewery on site, which is the only thing poured here that you cannot get at another BrewDog.1
Why go
The operator calls it their biggest bar: two floors beside Waterloo station, nearly 1800 capacity, sixty taps and a full restaurant menu. Daytime runs coffee, brunch and co-working in the cafe, alongside duckpin bowling, darts and ping pong. After dark their own description turns it into a late-night room with live sport.1
What the operator does not do is name a single beer from the microbrewery, which is the one reason to choose this door over the group's others.
Order this / avoid
- Order: whatever the on-site kit has made, and ask at the bar, because it is not published.1
- Avoid: coming for a quiet pint after dark. The operator's own plan for the evening is a late-night entertainment venue.1

Verdict
listed — This is the biggest bar in the group: two floors under Waterloo station, nearly 1800 capacity, sixty taps, duckpin bowling, darts and ping pong, and a switch after dark into a late-night room with sport on. What makes this door different from every other BrewDog is the microbrewery on site, and the operator names nothing it produces, so a drinker cannot plan around it. That is the whole problem with the row: everything published about it is the operator's own copy about scale, and nobody outside the business has written a word about what is in the glass. It takes the bottom rung on evidence.
