The Four Thieves

The Four Thieves

Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. See if we've included your local.

Pubs that try to do everything generally set themselves up for a fall. Then there's the Four Thieves — a combined brewery/foodie haunt/music hall/games mecca. The walls are dripping with everything from anatomical posters to stuffed elks. There's a gin garden, and a dance floor. There is no way on God's sweet Earth that all this stuff should work together, but it does — and how.

The beer, brewed onsite, is the work of Laine Brewing, therefore extremely decent. The Session IPA was on both cask and keg when we visited, there was a daring passion fruit brew on the bar, and one of the brewers told us they were experimenting with a blueberry saison. Best of all, the black IPA slipped down a treat.

Four Thieves also has a comprehensive selection of gins, which they'll mix for you with a proper tonic water, and garnishes that look beyond the usual slice of lemon/wedge of lime. You can also line your stomach with a very decent Four Thieves Burger, onglet steak and chips, or a pint (!) of sausage rolls.

But the food and drink is only the beginning. Four Thieves has all the fun of the fair — a veritable fun palace, hosting comedy, one of the best pub quizzes around, live music, interactive games, swing dance nights, and — best of all — an upstairs racing track. And we thought this place was good when it was Battersea Mess & Music Hall.
