See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Opened in August 2017, this was the first sister establishment of the award-winning ‘liquid delicatessen’ Realale.com, founded in 2005 in East Twickenham. The difference is that, whilst primarily a takeaway bottle, can and keg beer in 'growlers' shop, here a selection of the wares on offer is available for consumption on the premises. Beer is available from 8 taps and live beer is available via keycask; those wishing to sample modern keg beers would do well to start here.

Spread over two floors, the shop includes limited seating for those trying the beers. Events include 'meet the brewer' sessions as well as tastings for private groups. There is also a varied selection of wines, whiskies, etc. The company changed its name from Real Ale to Real Drinks in 2021.
