Merchants Tavern

Just the best dining and drinking experience in East London I can't explain how much I love this place. From the kitchen to the bar the decor is on point slick vibes chilled music (sometimes a lil loud) awesome cocktails and some the best food I have ever had. It can be a bit pricy but it's worth every penny. Exceptional never had such a great home. Thank you.

Great bar and restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. The interior is beautiful, has plenty of seating opportunities and has a great feel to it. The service was friendly and helpful, although the wait at the bar was a bit long. Live music is played to add to the atmosphere. Prices are typical for the area and good for the venue.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Stylish interior with good space between the tables and not too noisy (so you can have a proper conversation without needing to shout). Interesting menu too (the Polpette al sugo was amazing). Good choice of wine too. Not a cheap place, but good for a special occasion. Would certainly recommend.

Just popped in for a beer but what a magnificent place! Great staff and good beer. Restaurant part of the premises looks fine and some great aromas eminating from the kitchen. This place (Merchants Tavern) must have a history, I'll find out and post. Well worth a visit if you are either hungry or thirsty! Frames of butterflies on the walls, not now politically correct but a wonderful document from a bygone era. Ask yourself; How many of these can I identify? If you struggle, have a walk and see the beauty around you. Have fun!

I had my 30th birthday lunch here in their private dining room and everything was excellent! As it was my birthday I wanted everything to be perfect and they were very accommodating to my requests and last minute changes. The food and wine was great and the staff were very hospitable. The private dining room is a great space with exposed brick and sound system. Would definitely recommend!

Nice atmosphere and good menu. Portion sizes were generous for lunch - the cod is recommended, with a side of cauliflower cheese please. Service excellent, waiting knew all the wine pairings and was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. Dessert was fabulous - ginger cake, not something I'd usually have but will lie awake thinking about for many a night.
