Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. Is your local listed?
A long-time locals and hipster favourite, the Birdcage recently passed from the moribund Draft House chain to become part of the BrewDog empire.
Veterans of the chain's other bars are in for a bit of a surprise. The Birdcage looks like a normal, old-fashioned pub, packaged in wood rather than sporting a sleek modern interior like those favoured at other branches.
The beer range is more familiar, if not quite so broad as sister pubs. A selection of cocktails sounded tempting. Overall, it's a sensitive revamp, keeping the features of old without going crazy on the branding. Expect to see plenty of freelancers with Macs in here during the day.
